1130 Lower your Supply Cost with John Shaw, Founder of maxill : Dentistry Uncensored with Howard Farran

John Shaw is the founder and current General Manager of maxill inc. There are no "C" titles at maxill. John grew up as a kid around farming, dairy, retailing and packaged ice cream operations that his senior family members owned at that time. John accredits this environment of being around and selling packaged consumer goods ( ice cream and dairy products ) via the family's own retailer network ( Shaw's Dairy Stores ) since birth, as a natural path to an interest in packaged consumer goods, design, market pricing, satisfaction and supply chain. People always need food and we sold food. John completed high school in 1981 with a Grade 12 and subsequent classes and programs at Hard Knocks University from which he has not yet received his "know it all diploma" despite it being almost 40 years later. John's employment history is newspaper boy, truck driver, toothbrush sales person and then being his own guy. Being a newspaper boy taught the importance of customer service, cash flow, collections and being on time with no excuses. No matter the weather, the newspaper had better be there on time. John, the Sparta newspaper baron upsold his customers with Greeting cards, newspaper subscriptions. John in time was also able to create a newspaper monopoly in the village of 500 by delivering the morning Free Press and the afternoon Times Journal. John's first sales position post family employment as a truck driver for the dairy business was a 1099 sales person for the M+C Schiffer Company of Germany selling toothbrushes. Mainly Private label toothbrushes for several retail chains in the early 1980's. A sales and experience gained hold, the current day maxill inc. was established in 1987 on just 2 items. The 330 and 440 toothbrushes which are still a part of the product lineup today. Building and molding maxill to where it is today exposed John to dealing with near ( but not ) insolvency, penny stock promoters, banks, venture capitalists, angels, private equity, legals, patents, trademarks, employment, foreign ownership, exporting, importing, manufacturing and a list of business skills and acumen too many to list here. John's full-time job is overseeing privately owned maxill which has revenue in the mid to high 8 digits, has over 150+ employees, operates directly in 3 countries and exports to dozens more. The dental industry, to which John sort of, by rear entrance accident method entered into, has been very good to John and seems impression proof. maxill experiences double digit annual growth and by far, the best is yet to come. John's favorite lines about maxill and dental are; I have not worked a single day in over 30 years. It does well in good times and does even better during hard times.

1129 Dr. Milan Somborac DDS Founder of Monday Morning Millionaire Program : Dentistry Uncensored with Howard Farran

Milan is the author of Monday Morning Millionaire and the creator of the Monday Morning Millionaire Program. He practiced dentistry for over 50 years and has as much do-it-yourself investing experience. From that, he knew that you can make more money on a Monday morning before breakfast than you ever did in your best week at work. The Monday Morning Millionaire Program is his step-by-step process that will allow you to outperform the market and to become a confident and successful do-it-yourself (DIY) investor. In addition to Milan, his team has three self-made, multimillionaire do-it-yourself investors one of whom is on the advisory committee for a $US3 billion American state county portfolio. He also has a business background. In 1996 Milan, along with his son, B. Eng. & Mgt., MBA, created Tenax Implant Inc. They manufactured and distributed dental implants in Canada, South Korea, and the Caribbean. It took three years, four patents, ISO certification and a million dollars of investors' money to reach that status. Only three other Canadian dentists have done so. With his staff of six capable assistants, he ran patient implant treatment courses in these countries to teach implant treatment to colleagues. They have launched the implant careers of some 500 dentists. In 2008, they bought out the 10 Tenax shareholders and changed the company from an implant manufacturing operation to a holding company. It now only invests in the stock market. About the same time that he started his career in dentistry, he befriended a lawyer who was an active investor. That sparked his interest in also becoming a DIY investor. He has invested in all sorts of securities and found the best results come from owning a US market index exchange-traded fund in his core and "explore" portfolios and occasionally selling derivatives in the "explore" portfolio. A high net worth friend whose portfolio is managed by others was so impressed with my results that she suggested that he make that system public. Following her suggestion, he launched the Monday Morning Millionaire Program to be able to share his knowledge with a broader audience.

1114 Improving the Success of Your Practice with Carlo Biasucci, DDS: Dentistry Uncensored with Howard Farran

Dr. Carlo Biasucci is a practicing dentist in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada and most notably has tripled his practice in 3 years to a value of 8.2 million, but even more interestingly has done this while reducing his time in the practice every year. The practice has 9 dentists, 30 staff members, and sees over 175 new patients each month consistently for 3 years now. Presently he is treating patients between 5 and 7 days each month. He has removed dependence on him and shifted the running of the practice to his team, all while increasing the income from practice. Now, this wasn't a straight line. Dr. Carlo suffered an injury in late 2012 than nearly ended his life, and as his doctors told him, would end his career in dentistry. After 6 months out of practice and getting back on the right side of things, he began his journey and quest for knowledge that allowed him to grow a very frustrating 2 million practice into a practice valued at 8.2 million in just 3 years. He documented every step, tested and turned it into a complete system that the practice runs on, and also has taken this model into the practices of dentists across North America under the banner of Elite Practice, a complete practice growth partner. Today's interview will, I think, suggest new possibilities for you, your practice, your family and your future.

1112 Seven Principles of Highly Successful Dentists with Bill and Christina Blatchford: Dentistry Uncensored with Howard Farran

Dr. Bill Blatchford developed a large and profitable practice in Corvallis, Oregon starting in 1970. Dentist would come to visit to see what he was doing . He was also asked to speak at meetings all over the US and Canada. It developed into a business coaching dentist how to live a healthy life style and to develop a practice to support their life, not the other way around where life is what is left over. He has spoken at every major dental meeting in North America and many other countries including India, Dubai, Egypt, England, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand. He and his wife Carolyn have been married 52 years. They raised two daughters, Tiffany and Christina. Dr. Christina has followed him into dentistry and now is the owner of Blatchford Solutions. Bill and his wife enjoy traveling, adventure trips, cycling, skiing, fishing, boating, physical fitness. He and Carolyn spend winters at their home in Mexico and summers on their boat on the BC coast and Alaska. Bill has recently started Blatchford Transitions helping dentist buying, selling and merging practices. Before becoming co CEO of Blatchford Solutions with my Dad two years ago, I had several different careers leading me down this path. My parents were encouraging and supportive of any direction, as long as it was forward, that I chose to take in my career. I chose a degree in Fashion Merchandising, my Dad says I majored in shopping! from the University of Arizona. Working as a sales associate at Nordstrom for a year, I learned much about sales and myself. Retail did not allow me to have the life balance so I chose another degree in Commercial Interior Design and worked in this field for five years. I designed medical and dental offices and I enjoyed the creativity this allowed. Yet, I was still seeking more. I craved being able to make a difference in the lives of others plus the lifestyle I had seen my Dad provide our family. Additionally, I had come to the conclusion that I was unemployable. I wanted to be my own boss and make the big decisions, all signs pointed to a career in dentistry. Growing up, I was able to see that my Dad was able to provide a full life for our family. I saw dentistry as a great profession. It was during my childhood, I saw the changes in him as he wanted more time with us and to pursue his interests. He wanted more return and to share the wealth with his team. This lead to the creation of Blatchford Solutions, one of the most trusted Coaching Programs for dental practices today. I purchased my first practice as soon as I graduated OHSU School of Dentistry. I also am very fortunate to get to raise Grace, age 7, with my husband, Dave. After success as a dentist, I started coaching some clients and found it is just the best feeling ever to coach our Doctors to reach and succeed further than they thought possible! As I have grown into the co CEO position, I feel strongly in continuing to practice dentistry. I feel it gives our program a new relevancy. My experience mirrors that of new practice owners with new ideas, new excitement and new energy, along with a new vision for the business. My plan is to help my dad take Blatchford Solutions to the next level of dental business coaching. With new ideas, new programs, new seminars, new growth, my question to you is…….are you ready to take your life and practice to the next level?

1098 Mastering Implants with Jamie Oshidar, DMD at MegaGen, Las Vegas: Dentistry Uncensored with Howard Farran

I was born on August 8th, 1976 in Manhassett, NY. These are both very important facts to know in order to get to know me. For one, that makes me a Leo and a Leo I am. I am a true competitor in everything I get my hands on – from striving to add the most value into my patient's lives through the dental experience we give them to never giving up on the tennis court to being the best Dad and Husband I can be. Secondly, I was born with a thick New York "sometimes thuggish sounding" accent that no matter how hard I try I just can't shake. Add my accent to the fact that I do not hesitate to speak my mind (only like a true New Yorker does) and boy, I can get myself in a lot of trouble, especially with my BEAUTIFUL, genius wife Melissa. (If you saw me now, I would be patting myself on the back.) I have held a few nicknames over the years, including Osh in my high school and Air Force days, Dr.O by my patients and staff, and Babo when Melissa is happy with me. Over the past two years, my family has grown from two people to four with our latest addition: my son Julian Jamie Oshidar. We already have our daughter Arianna Layla Oshidar, who absolutely has me whipped. Trust me, if you become a patient here, you will hear all about my babies. I don't have this overly compelling or wonderful story as to why I became a dentist, but I can truly say I am really happy I did. The truth is my dad wanted all three of his sons to become doctors and in turn, he got two dentists and chiropractor. I love what I do, not because I am the best dentist in the world (which I am close to being) but because my practice gives me the opportunity to help people achieve a better quality of life. I not only do this through my hands-on dentistry, but I love to coach, educate, and advise my patients, staff, and others as well – basically, whoever will appreciate what I have to teach. I am best known for my drive to succeed and the unique humor I add to pretty much anything I do. Life would be terribly boring if there was a definitive end to what you could accomplish if you couldn't laugh while doing it. I take pride in knowing how many people we employ in my two practices Roselle Park Dental and Little Smiles of Roselle Park. It is a great feeling and sense of accomplishment that gets reinforced on a daily basis whenever my staff or patients say how much they love being in the practice. Although I've come to realize you cannot please everyone, since my practice is a reflection of me, I take it extremely personally when someone is unsatisfied with the way things are run or with the effort I put into my work. This approach has been extremely instrumental to the happiness all of us in the practice show when we are at work. (Unless, of course, my staff is causing me agita!) I have actually started to consult and teach other dentists about implementing dental implants successfully into their practices. Deep down, I always give people the benefit of the doubt and I always find myself rooting for the underdog. Maybe that is why I'm such an avid Jets fan. Man, will they ever win a Super Bowl again? Yes, I have Patriots' fans as patients. Here is a quick story for what I'm truly like. One night when I was in high school, right before my chorus recital (for the lucky ones who have been blessed by my singing, it's true I was in the chorus), there was a kid sitting by himself getting made fun of by some other kids. I felt compelled to sit next to this kid named Howie and befriend him. I did this because it was the right thing to do and it makes me furious when people pick on other people that are different from them. If you ever get a chance to see me hit or kick the punching bag while training, you will now understand what predominantly fuels my fire.

Sean would refer to himself as a slow starter, but he eventually went on to gain his post graduate diploma in Maxillofacial Prosthetics & Technology at Manchester University whilst working in the Orthodontic & Maxillofacial laboratory at Sunderland Royal Hospital. In 2003 he achieved the only highest possible grade, pass with distinction to date in this speciality, earning him a coveted award from his national body in the process. Prior to this Sean had studied for four years to gain his Dental Technology qualification, and a further four years at Newcastle for his Advanced certificates in Orthodontic Technology and also Prosthodontic Technology. Sean has gained a reputation that is second to none in the field of Orthodontic Technology and he was appointed to the national council of the Orthodontic Technicians Association in 2012 in recognition of this. Sean established Ashford Orthodontics in 2001 due to specialist clinicians needing a laboratory specializing in Orthodontic technology rather than having to send their work to general laboratories which simply dabble in this speciality. Two new directors in Craig Stevens and Graeme Winyard joined in 2005 when Ashford became a limited company, and between them they have over 75 years' worth of experience in this field. Ashford employs over 50 highly skilled members of staff and bases its success on the quality of the work they produce being directly linked to the quality & training of the staff they employ. Sean has been instrumental in steering the company though its recent successes, seeing Ashford invest heavily as an early implementer in Digital Technology, forming the retainerworld brand in the process, allowing Ashford to create and secure diverse income streams into the lab. This deliberate business model has resulted in rapid but sustainable growth in the last few years, and has firmly established Ashford as a leading light in this field. Ashford is now the Technical strength behind various other company's, allowing it to expand into the field of 3D scanning and printing which in turn has allowed them to export to Scandanavia, Belgium, The Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand. The company continues to expand following it's seventeen years of continuous growth since inception, and is currently in discussions to increase it's income streams further with even more new and diverse partnerships.
