Dr. David Stanley is a pediatric dentist and partner at Wild About Smiles Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. He joins us on the podcast to discuss his career, and how things have changed since being diagnosed and treated for prostate cancer. We talk about trying to find balance between working hard to build a practice and pay off loans, while at the same time finding enjoyment in life, spending time with family, and learning how to sleep well at night after a hard day at the office. We also talk about how beneficial talking to a therapist or counselor can be to keep your mental well-being in check.
Dr. Stanley and I also have a brief discussion about how his office was recently embezzled from by a trusted employee, so he reflects on things he could have done differently and gives advice to young practice owners on preventing this from happening to them.
