  Aug 18, 202632 min

  Bonus systems are often touted as the secret to motivating a dental team; but do they actually work? This week on Dentistry Unmasked, Brian and Pam sit down with Sharyn Weiss, who challenges the conventional wisdom that bonuses drive better performance. In fact, she believes they can be counterproductive, create unintended problems, and fail to inspire the behaviors practice owners really want.

  Life Happens: Navigating Divorce While Leading in Dentistry

  Aug 11, 202627 min

  Life doesn't stop when you're running a dental practice. Dentists and dental professionals are often expected to lead their teams, care for patients, manage businesses, and support their families, even while facing some of life's most difficult personal challenges. Divorce is one of those challenges, yet it's rarely discussed openly within our profession. This week on Dentistry Unmasked, Pam sits down with entrepreneur and registered dental hygienist Tonya Lanthier, founder of DentalPost, for an honest and heartfelt conversation about navigating divorce while balancing the demands of a career in dentistry. Drawing from their own personal experiences, Pam and Tonya discuss the emotional, logistical, and professional hurdles that accompany this life-changing transition, as well as the importance of finding support, staying organized, and moving forward with intention. Following the sale of DentalPost, Tonya turned her attention to helping others through the creation of DivorcePost, an AI-powered platform designed to provide guidance, organize the countless tasks involved in divorce, and help people navigate the process as peacefully and efficiently as possible. Whether you've experienced divorce yourself, know someone who has, or simply want to hear a candid conversation about resilience, leadership, and life beyond dentistry, this episode offers encouragement, perspective, and hope that brighter days lie ahead.
