On today’s episode, Dr. Mark Costes sits down with newly minted Black Belt Coach Dr. Karley Schneider, a dynamic dentist and entrepreneur based in Tucson, Arizona. Dr. Schneider shares her journey from dental school to acquiring three practices and ultimately deciding to simplify her life by selling one of them. With a background in business and a passion for leadership, she reveals how she built high-performing teams, maintained low overhead, and created two distinct practice models—one PPO-based and one fee-for-service.
She also dives into the challenges of associate recruitment, the power of finding the right team members, and how her daughter’s Type 1 diabetes diagnosis inspired her to launch a nonprofit initiative. From injectables to nonprofit galas, this episode is a deep dive into balancing ambition, family, and purpose.
