Alan Mead
About this episode

In this throwback episode Dr. Jason Lipscomb joins the Very Clinical guys live from VOD 23 to challenge the dental industry's conventional wisdom! He debunks the myth that you can be taught to "love" dentistry, especially by those out of touch with the modern-day pressures of practice ownership, staffing shortages, and waning employee loyalty. The hosts and Dr. Lipscomb discuss whether loving your job is even the right goal, weighing passion against the often-harsh realities of the profession. The conversation then shifts to the future, exploring how artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT can revolutionize dental marketing by effortlessly generating content, from blog posts to videos, while also considering the "scary" potential of deepfakes and AI-driven patient communication.
