I’m excited about this episode and it certainly doesn’t disappoint. We’ve got Dr Nauvneel Kashyap.
Dr Nauvneel Kashyap is a multiple practice owner, practice ownership consultant, dentist and professional poker player. Nauv has hired 30-40 new graduates in his time and has many insights into the struggles and successes of the early years of a dental career.
This wide ranging discussion had so much packed into it that i have made it a two part series. But don’t stress, the wait for part two is only a week.
Part 1 covers:
- Nauv’s upbringing and pathway to dentistry
- How Nauv learnt wisdom tooth surgery to such a high level and his advice if you want to do the same
