#318 The Pivot — Randeep Singh Gill
Tuesday, 18 November, 2025
When a slipped disc ends your dental career at its peak, what comes next? Randeep Singh Gill's story isn't about endings—it's about radical reinvention. A digital dentistry enthusiast whose career was built on precision and routine, Randeep found himself confronting an identity crisis when chronic neck pain forced him away from practice. But here's where it gets interesting: instead of retreating, he pivoted into the very thing he'd always loved but never pursued: technology. Now he's building Dental CFO, an AI-powered platform designed to give practice owners something he believes they desperately lack: clarity. From workaholic associate to tech founder, Randeep's journey exposes the fragility of our professional identities and the transferable skills we don't realise we possess until we're forced to use them.In This Episode00:04:10 - Why dentistry over computing00:05:25 - Left hand, right hand00:10:15 - Six-day weeks and holiday guilt00:14:30 - When cutting down actually earned more00:20:40 - Identity crisis and the grief of leaving00:26:05 - Teaching himself AI and entrepreneurship00:32:30 - The six-month online course00:38:15 - Finding your niche: Cerec crowns and clarity00:39:05 - Building Dental CFO for real-time intelligence00:42:45 - Financial clarity as obsession00:47:25 - LinkedIn and hundreds of conversations01:03:30 - Blackbox thinking01:13:30 - Mistakes in tech: ego and uncertainty01:17:05 - Squad models and developer dynamics01:20:10 - Missing the people and the routine01:26:55 - AI anxiety and raising kids offline01:29:40 - Competition nightmares in tech01:35:00 - Fantasy dinner party01:37:30 - Last days and legacyAbout Randeep Singh GillRandeep qualified from King's College London in 2009 and spent over a decade as an associate, including 11.5 years at the same practice where he developed a passion for digital dentistry and same-day Cerec crowns.
