303. Dr. Mitch reveals Stunning Truths about Success in Practice Ownership
Episode 304
Monday, 13 April, 2026
From dental student to dental practice owner in just 14 months — Dr. Mitch Rush breaks down exactly how he did it. In this episode of the Lifestyle Practice Podcast, host Dr. Derek Williams sits down with TLP coaching client Dr. Mitch Rush to walk through the full journey of buying a dental practice, navigating the chaos of first-year ownership, and growing production from $1.25M to a $135–140K monthly pace in just four months. If you're a dentist looking to buy a practice, an associate dentist planning for ownership, or simply want real, unfiltered insight into dental practice management, business growth, and what dental coaching actually looks like — this episode is for you. Mitch shares the fears he never talked about, the team drama he didn't expect, and the acquisition strategies that helped him hit the ground running. This conversation covers everything from evaluating a dental practice prospectus and writing an LOI to managing a pre-existing team, firing your first employee, and setting a culture of core values from day one. Mitch is a graduate of the TLP Academy, the same program that has helped hundreds of dentists transition from associate to owner with confidence and clarity. Whether you're in dental school preparing early or an associate dentist ready to leap, Mitch's story proves that preparation plus the right coaching equals momentum from day one.
