You're Spending Time On the Wrong Thing...Focus on This Instead w/ Dr. George Hariri

September 8, 2026 · 41 min

Show notes

Whatever is holding your practice back is probably not the thing you worked on this week.

Dr. George Hariri, co-founder of Shared Practices and author of Dental Moneyball, went from one practice to nearly 50 and stopped practicing dentistry entirely — and the practice he left behind is performing better now than when he was in it. In this episode, he walks through where you should be spending your time as CEO and the growth lever already in your practice.
