Show Notes
On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes sits down with Daniel Jimenez, co-founder and CEO of Stride Dental Group and founder of Feestream. After a high-level career in engineering and leadership at Amazon, Daniel took an unexpected leap into the world of dentistry—driven by a passion for operational excellence, data, and innovation. He shares what translated well from corporate life (think: metrics, accountability, systems), what absolutely didn't, and why building and scaling in dentistry requires a whole different playbook.
Daniel opens up about the cultural and communication challenges of introducing change in a clinical environment, and how Stride is navigating growth while staying grounded in patient care and team culture. He also discusses his SaaS platform, Feestream, a simple but powerful tool that automates the painful process of updating insurance fee schedules in practice management software. If you're curious about scaling, leadership, or simplifying operations, you'll find tons of insight in this honest and forward-thinking conversation.
