759. Don’t Agree Too Fast

Daily Dental Podcast ·

2026/01/13

Dr. Killeen shares a simple way to create space for better ideas, more honest input, and stronger team conversations—by

Daily Dental Podcast ·

2026/01/09

In this episode, Dr. Killeen digs into core values — not the kind that live on a poster in the break room, but the kind your team and patients experience every single day.
