The Orthopreneurs Podcast with Dr. Glenn Krieger

Dr. Glenn Krieger

What does it mean to become an Orthopreneur? Hi there! My name is Dr. Glenn Krieger and I believe that in today’s competitive world, the orthodontic and dental communities should be collaborative. And I"ve created Orthopreneurs so that we can move towards that goal together. Orthodontists are smart people. You’ve accomplished a lot to get where you are, but chances are you never got a formal education in how to run the most effective and lowest stress practice possible. Don’t sweat it! Because we’ve

2026/02/10

In this episode of The Orthopreneurs Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Ben Samuelson—an orthodontist and co-founder of PDOA (Pediatric Dental & Orthodontic Associates)—who’s quietly built a multi-practice model across Alabama that’s giving OSOs a serious run for their money.

Why Doing Less Can Make You a Better Orthodontist l 5MF

The Orthopreneurs Podcast with Dr. Glenn Krieger ·

2026/02/06

Running a successful orthodontic practice doesn’t mean you need to control everything. In fact, the more you try to do that, the more you risk losing team members, burning out, and stunting your growth. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I’ve transformed my management style over the years—and how letting go has made me a better leader, clinician, and business owner. I’ll walk you through the exact approach I use today, including how we build systems without me being at the ...

In this episode, I sit down with David King—coach, author of Freedom Mapping, and a guy who’s worked with orthodontists across the country to help them reclaim their clarity, purpose, and peace.

We talk about the actual tools and frameworks that have helped high-performing orthodontists climb out of burnout, reconnect with their families, and rediscover why they got into this profession in the first place. From his early days as a managemen...

From lead generation to consult conversion to case acceptance, this is your chance to clean house, plug profit holes, and make this your most financially rewarding year yet.

What Comes After Ortho Success? w/Dr. Seth Lucas

The Orthopreneurs Podcast with Dr. Glenn Krieger ·

2026/01/27

Meet Dr. Seth Lucas, a successful orthodontist who—after seven years of practice—hit the same wall so many of us do: “Is this all there is?” Rather than open a second practice or partner with pedo, Seth took a wildly different path: he bought into a cookie franchise. Not just any cookie—Crumbl. And now? He co-owns 9 locations in multiple states and has built a second business that brings in serious revenue without burning him out. In this episode, Seth shares how he launched his first Crumbl...

The Orthopreneurs Podcast with Dr. Glenn Krieger ·

2026/01/23

As I get a bit older, I have taken the role of an "older doc" in the workplace, using my morning meetings to provide words of wisdom, encouragement, and inspiration to the team. This is because, for many of our team members, our workplaces may be the best part of their day or week. They may not be getting support from anyone else. During meetings, take a few minutes to offer advice that may be helpful in their personal lives and not just their work lives. Show them that you care and wan...

Legal Advice for Orthodontist w/Trevor Kuresa

The Orthopreneurs Podcast with Dr. Glenn Krieger ·

2026/01/20

This week’s episode dives into a topic most of us avoid—but absolutely can’t afford to ignore: wills, trusts, asset protection, and what happens to your family if you don’t plan ahead. My guest is Trevor Kuresa, attorney and founder of Hibiscus Legal, who also happens to be the one I personally trust with all my estate planning. Trevor breaks down the uncomfortable (and sometimes heartbreaking) realities of what happens when people die—or become incapacitated—without the right legal structure...

Letting Go Without Losing Control l 5MF

The Orthopreneurs Podcast with Dr. Glenn Krieger ·

2026/01/16

I’ve spoken to hundreds of orthodontists who can’t unplug—even for a day. If you feel like your practice can’t run without you answering every text, solving every problem, or approving every decision… then we need to talk. Because that’s not a badge of honor—it’s a red flag that your systems aren’t serving you. In this episode of 5 Minute Friday, I talk candidly about what it really takes to create a practice that functions without you. I challenge the idea that you always need to be involve...

On the surface, everything looks great—your schedule’s full, your numbers are strong, your team’s functioning. But inside? You might be running on fumes. In this episode, I sit down with Marissa Campbell, VC-backed founder, former corporate transformation executive, and author of Lead with Heart, to talk about the hidden burnout epidemic in high-achieving professionals—and what to do about it.

2026/01/09

I saw something recently that really stuck with me—Brené Brown, during an interview with Bill Maher, dropped a deceptively simple phrase: “Just let them.” That idea hit me like a ton of bricks. Whether you're in traffic, dealing with a frustrated parent in your office, or reacting to something a team member said—it’s so easy to get worked up. But what if you didn’t? In this episode, I dive into why letting go of unnecessary conflict isn’t just good for your mental health—it’s good for your p...

Whether you’re a weekend warrior, high-level athlete, or the parent of a competitive teen, this one’s packed with practical insight you can actually use. We talk about VO₂ max, lactate threshold, muscle scraping, BFR, peptides, exosomes, GLP-1s, cold plunges, saunas, and more. You’ll hear how Jeff treats his patients like a...

In this episode of 5 Minute Friday, I walk you through why pre-scheduling your year—especially the time off—is the single most powerful thing you can do to take back control of your life and your practice. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overworked, or like you're building your life around your office hours instead of the other way around, this episode is for you. I've been doing this a long time, and I can promise you: no one ever regrets the time they took off. But so many docs regret the time ...

I don’t make bold promises lightly. But after decades in orthodontics and thousands of conversations with docs like you, I know what we truly crave: real connection, no fluff, no sales pitches—just practical, honest, transformational growth. That’s exactly what the OrthoVanguard meeting is designed to deliver. No lectures. No vendors. Just you, 99 other doctors, and conversations that will change how you practice, lead, and live.

Is your TC a Closer? You should know l 5MF

2025/12/19

Most practices obsess over lead gen, marketing, and branding. But if your TC isn’t a natural closer—or if they have a limiting mindset around money—it won’t matter how many patients walk through your door. In this episode, I share real, tactical insights from a weekend deep dive with my OrthoPreneurs RD group focused entirely on sales, psychology, and case acceptance. I’ll walk you through what makes a TC a true closer (and how to tell if yours is or isn’t), the emotional baggage some team m...

But what makes Jeremiah stand out isn’t just the growth—it’s the way he’s done it: with humility, grit, and a relentless focus on investing in people and systems. We dive into how he transformed a modest, well-run legacy practice into a multi-location, multi-doctor machine—while ...

If you’ve ever felt that little itch in the back of your brain—the one that whispers, "I love being an orthodontist... but I can’t imagine doing this full-time for another 30 years"—you’re not alone. In fact, you're part of a generational shift. In this episode of 5 Minute Friday, I unpack why Orthodontic Support Organizations (OSOs) and DSOs are growing rapidly—and why that’s not a bad thing. This isn’t about promoting any particular group. It’s about being honest with ourselves and underst...

2025/12/05

I recently revisited one of my favorite metaphors from the classic film Parenthood, and it hit me hard again: Life is either a roller coaster or a merry-go-round. And far too many orthodontists—talented, capable, ambitious people—end up coasting in circles after hitting a certain level of success. I get it. It’s comfortable. It’s safe. But is it what you really want? In this episode, I break down the difference between choosing comfort vs. choosing growth—and why, in my own life and career, ...
