Daily Dental Podcast ·

Daily Dental Podcast ·

Daily Dental Podcast ·

2026/03/03

In this episode, Dr. Killeen shares a simple mental model that can sharpen decision making and reduce overwhelm.

Instead of trying to master everything at once, he encourages focusing on the information that directly supports the problems you are solving right now. When learning is timely and practical, it sticks. The goal is not to know more. The goal is to decide

Daily Dental Podcast ·

2026/03/02

Progress is powerful, but only when it is rooted in purpose rather than pressure.

Daily Dental Podcast ·

781. What Your Actions Really Say

Daily Dental Podcast ·

2026/02/12

In today’s episode, Dr. Killeen explores the gap between the priorities we talk about and the priorities our actions reveal. It is a simple but uncomfortable question.

Real progress starts when what you say matters begins to line up with what you actually do.

778. Busy Isn’t the Same as Moving Forward

Daily Dental Podcast ·

2026/02/09

In this episode, Dr. Killeen challenges the obsession with time management and productivity. Being efficient only matters after you are clear on direction, because working hard in the wrong direction just gets you lost faster. He explains why regular reviews matter, how busyness can mask a lack of progress, and why direction, not speed, is the real measure of success in your practice and your life.
