A Simple Guide to Living Your Best Life Outside of Orthodontics

The Orthopreneurs Podcast with Dr. Glenn Krieger

This episode might ruffle some feathers, and I’m totally okay with that because sometimes you need a little disruption to shake things loose.

I’m diving into something I taught before - how to actually live your best life. It's a simple but powerful four-quadrant framework that’ll help you figure out where your time and energy should go.

You should be living in the box where you’re doing stuff you love, and you’re great at. But most of you are stuck in boxes full of things you can do but don’t enjoy and it’s draining the life out of you.

I also dig into the “Cross of Life”—balancing family, health, work, and belief. If you get yourself out of balance, you’re going to crash. And listen, stop defining yourself as just an orthodontist. That’s not your legacy or why you’re here.

Listen in to this 5-minute Friday to hear more about living your best life.
