#369 - Why You Are Working Harder and Ma...

Tarryn MacCarthy
About this episode

Profit more by doing less. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy sits down with profitability strategist Shelley Renee to challenge the hustle-heavy mindset that’s draining healthcare professionals. Shelley shares how doing less, not more, can lead to greater financial stability, calmer teams, and more meaningful work. You’ll learn how to uncover inefficiencies in your schedule, understand your annual patient value, and make data-informed decisions that align with your goals. If you’ve been chasing success by adding more to your plate, this episode will shift your perspective and help you take your time and energy back.

Shelley Renee, known as The Profitability Maverick, is a dental business consultant who helps practice owners simplify for profit. With a sharp eye for hidden inefficiencies, she replaces overwhelm with clarity, cutting outdated routines and creating leaner, more joyful businesses. Her systems have helped countless dentists boost productivity, reduce stress, and work fewer days, because running a practice shouldn’t be harder than doing the dentistry.
