    EP 313: High-Income Dentist? You Might Still Be Financially Fragile

    High-income dentists are some of the best producers on the planet… but many are still financially fragile. One injury, one unexpected life event, one production dip, and the whole system starts to wobble.


    In this episode of Dentistry on Fire, I sit down with my friend Michael G. Isom (founder of Vault A.S. and co-author of What Would the Rockefellers Do?) to unpack the biggest money mistakes high earners make, and the systems that create real certainty. We talk about why “more income” doesn’t automatically equal financial freedom, how your identity can get dangerously tied to production, and why that creates stress at home and in the practice. Then we break down the concept of being your own bank, a strategy focused on liquidity, protection, and control using cash value mechanics, so you’re not dependent on a traditional bank when life happens. If you’re a dentist who wants peace of mind, better decision-making, and a path to legacy, this episode will change how you see money. 


    → Why high-income earners can still be one setback away from crisis

    → The “money lie” that keeps dentists trapped in stress and overwork

    → How production swings can create an emotional roller coaster at home

    → What “be your own bank” actually means in simple terms

    → Cash value basics (explained in plain English) and why liquidity matters

    → How policy loans work (and how they differ from bank loans)

    → The protection/asset-defense angle most dentists never consider

    → How to build certainty so you can lead better, and live better

    EP 312: From Prisoner to Producer: Breaking Free from the Dental Grind

    Is your dental practice running you, or are you running it?


    Too many dentists silently suffer under the weight of stress, burnout, and the painful feeling that despite all their training, they’re stuck. In this raw, real episode of Jumpstart with Jeff, Dr. Jeff Buske shares how he went from being a frustrated, overworked associate on the brink of leaving dentistry to building a life and practice marked by true freedom, production, and purpose.


    Dr. Buske, founder of Limitless Dentists, takes us back to 2004, a moment when he almost walked away from it all. With elite training in full-mouth rehab, esthetics, and implantology, he still couldn’t find the patient flow or fulfillment he craved. A chance meeting with Bruce Baird changed everything, introducing him to three foundational pillars: people, processes, and systems. But even as he became a high-producing dentist with multiple practices, Jeff discovered something deeper, he wasn’t free.


    This episode dives into how Dr. Buske broke the chains of stress, addiction, and disconnection to embrace a new identity and a powerful framework: the Limitless Method. He outlines the necessary identity shifts that take you from prisoner to producer, and ultimately, to a life of freedom, connection, and impact.


    What you’ll learn in this episode:

    → The hidden pain many dentists face behind the scenes

    → Why clinical training alone isn’t enough for success

    → The moment that sparked a radical life and career transformation

    → How to apply the Triangle of Transformation for real results

    → What freedom actually looks like, and how to build it


    “Even though I was producing and owning practices… I still wasn’t free. The practices owned me.”


    If this episode hit home, share it with a fellow dentist or journal what “freedom” looks like for you. Want to go deeper? Subscribe and apply for the Limitless 90-Day Intensive at www.limitlessdentistacademy.com.

    Why are some dental practices thriving while others feel stuck, even with the same clinical skills? In today’s hyper-digital world, it’s not just about how well you do dentistry. It’s about how well people talk about you online. In this powerhouse episode of Dentistry Is On Fire, host Dr. Jeff Buske sits down with the legendary Dr. Leonard “Len” Tau, dentist, entrepreneur, author, and the man behind Raving Patients and the Supercharge movement.

    From Len’s early days of buying a struggling practice under tragic circumstances, to pioneering online review strategies that built a $2.5M fee-for-service powerhouse, to launching a software company acquired by BirdEye, this episode is a masterclass in modern dental success.


    In this episode, you'll learn:

    → The critical difference between reputation management and reputation marketing, and why it matters more than ever

    → How to create a “reputation culture” inside your practice that drives consistent 5-star reviews

    → Why traditional marketing tactics (like postcards and yellow pages) are dying, and where to focus instead

    → How AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini are changing the patient journey, and how to future-proof your SEO

    → Practical, low-cost patient experience tips that turn appointments into unforgettable moments


    “If you’re not visible on Google, you’re invisible. That’s the hard truth.” 


    Whether you're burned out, insurance-dependent, or just ready to grow in 2026, this episode is your blueprint for taking control of your practice’s reputation, revenue, and future.

    EP 309: Dentist Reveals Why Most Practices Will Be Invisible in 5 Years With Dr. Anissa Broussard

    Are you about to become invisible in the new era of dental marketing and AI?

    In this episode, Dr. Anissa Broussard shares how she went from a small island practice in Jamaica to leading a top dental marketing and AI agency built by a dentist, for dentists.

    If you’re tired of being the best-kept secret in your city, this conversation is your roadmap. Dental marketing for dentists has shifted dramatically, and practices now need more than traditional dental marketing or basic dental practice marketing to stay competitive.

    Working with a specialized dental marketing agency can help dentists implement modern strategies like AI dental marketing, social media for dentists, and funnels for dentist, all designed to attract the right patients and create predictable dental practice growth. These tools make it easier to connect with people, build trust, and grow my dental practice without relying on discounts or outdated tactics.

    In today’s landscape, marketing for dentists must include intelligent systems, automation, and platforms like ChatGPT for dentists to streamline communication and increase conversions. Leaders such as Dr. Anissa Broussard and her agency Digital Floss are setting the standard for what effective, authentic, and future-proof dental marketing looks like. By combining brand storytelling, omnichannel content, and AI-driven optimization, dentists can elevate their visibility, strengthen their reputation, and drive sustainable growth in any market.

    EP 303: I Am the One: The Identity Shift Every Limitless Leader Must Make

    Are you stuck in maybe? Too many dentists are living in indecision, stuck in cycles of “I don’t know”, unsure of how to lead with clarity at home, in practice, or in life. In this episode of Jumpstart with Jeff, Dr. Jeff Buske throws down the challenge to break free from passivity and reclaim your identity with bold, intentional “I Am” declarations. Because the truth is, if you don’t believe it, no one else will.


    Dr. Buske pulls back the curtain on what it truly means to lead, not as a savior, but as a guide. This episode digs into the raw difference between advertising and marketing, why selling is actually about seduction, and how six savage leadership skill sets can transform not just your practice, but your marriage, parenting, and purpose. Whether you're facing stagnation or feel like a prisoner in your own profession, this episode will hand you the mindset and methodology to pivot powerfully into 2025.


    Takeaways:

    Marketing vs. Advertising: Advertising grabs attention; marketing communicates value. You must do both.

    Be a Closer: Move others to decision, not out of pressure, but through clear communication and vision.

    Drop the “Maybe” Mentality: Living in indecision is killing your progress. Start living in yes or no.

    Six Savage Skill Sets every leader needs: Speaking, Seduction, Teaching, Training, Coaching, Consulting.

    You’re not a savior, you’re a leader: Your job is to guide, not rescue. That clarity will set you free.

    “I am the one. If you don’t believe that about yourself, no one else will.” – Dr. Jeff Buske
