Bob Laing was born and raised in Van Wert, Ohio which is located in rural Northwest Ohio. His Father, Grandfather, and Great-Grandfather have all been dentists, working in the same family practice which has been serving the Van Wert community for 80+ years. Bob graduated from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio in 2016 where he completed two Bachelor's Degrees in Zoology and Political Science. He is currently a second year student at The Ohio State University College of Dentistry. After graduation he plans to return home to work with his Father, and serve as a fourth generation dentist in his family's practice. Throughout his experience as a front desk and dental assistant in the family practice during his high school and college years, Bob developed a passion to learn more about the human relations and business aspects of dentistry. During his first year of dental school he learned about the Dentistry Uncensored podcast from a friend and classmate and began listening and learning as much as he could from the many resources that Dentistry Uncensored and dentaltown had to provide. Laing discovered the 30 Day Dental MBA program after he joined dentaltown and began listening to the program every chance he got. After listening to the 30 Day MBA series a couple times completely though, Bob has developed a list of notes and questions for Dr. Farran to see if there are any updates, or additions that could be made to the curriculum now 18 years after its release.

Dr. Brandon Ryff grew up in Tempe Arizona, and attended the University of Arizona, where he graduated with dual degrees in Physiology from the College of Medicine, and Molecular & Cellular Biology from the College of Science. Upon graduation, Dr. Ryff then attended the University of Michigan, School of Dentistry. After Dental School, Dr. Ryff became an associate in a small group of privately owned dental practices in Arizona. Subsequently, this group was approached and acquired by a national DSO backed by private equity investors. This transition was a complex process that Dr Ryff found very interesting. Watching his father-in-law successfully serve as the President & CEO of a multibillion-dollar international corporation only further fueled Dr. Ryff's interest in business and executive leadership. Accordingly, Dr Ryff then completed a 2-year business program, earning a Professional Graduate Certificate in Strategic Management from Harvard University Extension School. Alongside completing his business program and practicing dentistry, Dr. Ryff was also appointed Vice President of Business Development within the private equity DSO group that had acquired the practice Dr. worked at. Dr. Ryff was involved in multiple acquisitions made by the DSO from 2013-2015, during which time the company ranked # 14 for the Inc 500's fastest growing companies in America. A drastic shift in executive leadership and corporate strategy at the DSO prompted a strategic transition for Dr Ryff himself. In August 2016, Dr Ryff left the corporate practice environment and acquired a private practice in Paradise Valley Arizona. During the first year, Dr Ryff applied knowledge he had gained from his tenure in business development and business school to create a unique team environment. After hearing through social media of a themed 'team-unity lunch', held in good fun to help mend wounds of the 2016 post-election divide, the Washington Post featured an article about the unique atmosphere and team at Dr. Ryff's practice. Among many factors, the leadership and management lessons Dr. Ryff acquired through his work and educational experiences contributed to a 33% growth in his new practice during the first year. Behind the scenes, Dr. Ryff negotiated improved terms with suppliers, vendors and labs with whom he had previously established positive relationships. On the front line, Dr. Ryff focused on leadership and worked to build a culture of positivity and appreciation. With the simple mission of providing clinical excellence and uncompromising service, Dr. Ryff rallied an exceptional team of focused, motivated, and accomplished professionals to take the practice to the next level. To reward their hard work and dedication, Dr Ryff also implemented a unique bonus program, which resulted in pay increases of 24%, on average, for each employee. The combined result of applied strategic management principles, his consistent focus on positive leadership, and implementing a generous employee bonus program was a 75% increase in profit dollars for his first year as owner, 2017. The journey for Dr Ryff and his team was not without some turbulence however. Months after becoming the new owner, Dr Ryff learned that his landlord had suddenly passed away, leaving the entire property to charity. A big commercial real estate developer made intentions made clear that the plan was to demolish and redevelop the property. Accordingly, Dr Ryff found a new location to continue the 60-year legacy of the practice. With the unwavering support of his loyal team and their active participation in all levels of the process, Dr Ryff and team built a brand new state-of-the-art facility, which will serve to take the practice well into the next generation. https://www.scottsdalesmile.com/

Born in Sudbury Ontario Canada, the 'Nickel Capital of The World', Geoffrey spent some eight years there prior to moving to Ottawa, the nation's capital. Interestingly Sudbury was where NASA sent the Apollo astronauts to train prior to the initial moon launch as it was the closest surface on the earth which approximated the moon. It was in Ottawa that Geoffrey discovered the game of golf and though he played hockey like most of his friends did, it was golf which became his passion. He procured his CPGA card in 1976 and was a member of the Canadian PGA for some five years. It was while in Florida in the early 80's that he met an aspiring professional for the LPGA tour whom he helped to attain her tour card and caddied for. An interesting experience, he came to the conclusion that age was becoming a consideration and that it was time to establish a career. It was the result of a casual game of golf in Toronto (circa 1982) that Geoffrey was introduced to Jim Kerr, the owner of Shaw Laboratories, a full service lab group. Jim whose daughter went on to swim for the Canadian Olympic Team felt that there was a direct correlation between athletics and sales, and hired Geoff that June. Geoffrey spent some six years with Shaw in both a sales and sales management capacity until once again golf introduced him to the retail/distribution side of the industry. In 1988 he teamed up with Denco Canada a full service distributor with branch operations from coast to coast. Back then they sold alloy, Adaptic self cure composite, film and prophy cups. As Geoff recalls, it was not until 1990 when Kimberly Bergalis was diagnosed with AIDS that they sold gloves to the profession. Ms. Bergalis dentist, Dr David Acer purportedly infected her with the HIV virus and overnight the public demanded that the profession don gloves prior to treatment. Geoff still recalls selling Johnson & Johnson Microtouch gloves for $33.00 a box ($330 a case) and not being able to satisfy the demand. It was in 1990 that Denco literally imploded and what had been a powerhouse became insolvent. As Geoff says, they wrote the book which Healthco later read. He stayed on until the final day at which time he joined forces with Canadian Dental with whom he partnered until September 1992. It was at that time that he procured his Green Card and came south to Winston Salem North Carolina. Geoff partnered with Thompson Dental which was a member of what is now the NDC. They were acquired by Patterson for whom he sold until joining forces with Henry Schein in 2009. The past couple of years, Geoff has been an independent sales consultant in different areas, including oral cancer and obstructive sleep apnea along with some interests outside of dentistry.

The practice grew rapidly by utilizing the proper marketing techniques and applying the latest technology and dental procedures. His practice was fee for service and accepted high quality dental insurance. He didn't accept PPO insurance. He felt one of his keyes to success was listening to practice management lectures and tapes by Howard Farran and Rick Kushner Also clinical information from Gordon Christensen In subsequent years he opened 2 more dental practices in Fairfield county CT. After many successful years as a practicing dentist Dr Boyajian retired. While he was in the process of selling his three dental offices he found that multiple dental brokers did not take a hands on role in the process, as they were not present when he met with the prospective buyers Further more the majority of the brokers did not get involved in the day to day transaction and negotiations as the deal moved forward with contracts, financing and lease negotiations . As a result of this experience Dr Boyajian was inspired to start his own dental brokerage firm that would provide unparalleled amazing hands on 24/7 service Health care practice sales LLC He is one of the few dental practice brokers that is a dentist and also has in house staff consisting of 2 CPA accountants. They deliver results and make sure your deal goes the the closing table.

Christina is a mother and wife first. A dentist second. She loves dentistry but understands the value of quality time spent with her family and friends. She enjoys the aesthetics of dentistry and has learned how to pursue her artistic talents in this field. Her father, Dr. Bill Blatchford was a successful dentist and it seemed the natural progression for her to follow in his footsteps. Originally, Christina pursued a fashion path and received her B of A. After working at Nordstroms for a bit she realized she needed more. She went back to school and became an interior architect specializing in dental practices. After a bit of time she realized she wanted the lifestyle she was given growing up and needed to pursue a career in dentistry to allow these opportunities for not only her but her husband and young daughter. She now works two to three days a week and takes eight weeks off every year. There is a specific formula to this lifestyle that Christina and her father would like to share with more dentists. Blatchford Solutions is a practice management company that helps only fifty doctors a year pursue the lifestyle they want to live. Too many dentists run on a rat race of a huge overhead, working four to five days a week and taking maybe two to three weeks of vacation a year. http://www.blatchford.com

Mark Eric Bailey is a graduate of Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA. He has been actively engaged in real estate brokerage / development / investment as well as the creation of several businesses over his career. He has arranged business financing for 36 years and has served health professionals exclusively as Capital4HealthCare, LLC since the early 1990s. In 2005, he founded Dentcetera-Advisors, LLC to provide dentists acquiring practices with buyer's representation services nationwide. Dr. Chaffin joined Mark in each of these endeavors and in 2009 they founded Dental Recovery Solutions 360, LLC together. Mr. Bailey's endeavors have followed the business trends in dentistry. First, he focused on carefully crafting financing for dentists to excel in practice with Capital4HealthCare, LLC. Its not the rate, term or amount of a loan but the combination thereof which creates the best financing solutions. During the growth years of dentistry pre-2008, it became apparent that practice buyers were not being represented well during a practice purchase. Thus Dentcetera-Advisors, LLC was born to provide buyer representation. And when the economy collapsed in late 2008 it became apparent that Dental Recovery Solutions 360, LLC was required to serve dentists, lenders, landlords, BK trustees, etc to save dental practices, professional careers and prevent patient abandonment issues. DRS-360 is the only firm in America focused exclusively in dentistry for these services. Mr. Bailey is a widower and blessed father of a teenage daughter and 3 awesome cats. He resides in Lancaster, Pennsylvania; enjoys fine cars, reading and the beach. Dr. James R. Chaffin is a 2004 graduate of Loma Linda University School of Dentistry and a 2008 graduate of LVI.

Dr. Chaffin is a talented clinician specializing in implant dentistry, oral sedation, TMD – both cosmetic & restorative dentistry. He is an accomplished entrepreneur / business person / advisor and the CEO of Dental Recovery Solutions 360, LLC - a firm founded in 2009 and devoted to saving dental practices nationwide and CEO of Dentcetera-Advisors, LLC, a national practice transitions advisory firm founded in 2005 and based in Metro Phoenix.
