2343: Why You Can't Produce Your Way Out...

Mark Costes
About this episode

On today’s episode, you'll hear Dr. Mark Costes' high-impact keynote from the Voices of Dentistry 2025. With over a decade of experience building and scaling practices, Dr. Costes shares the hard-won lessons that transformed his early success—and near burnout—into a sustainable, purpose-driven career. He breaks down the real reason most dental practices struggle with profitability and why simply adding procedures or new patients won't fix a broken infrastructure.
 
You’ll hear the origin story of the Four Futures framework and how Dr. Costes uses it to help dentists achieve balance across mind, meaning, muscle, and money. He also unpacks the Elite Practice Blueprint, a six-pillar system for building a true business—one that thrives even when the doctor isn’t in the chair. From practical leadership assessments to financial benchmarks, this episode is a roadmap for creating not just a better practice, but a better life.
