REPUBLISH: Episode 2 with Nauv Kashyap

The Savvy Dentist

It's hard to believe, but the Savvy Dentist Podcast has now surpassed 450 episodes!
When I started this journey all those years ago, I never could have imagined how far we'd come.
To honour this milestone, I've decided to revisit some of my most memorable conversations - and what better place to start than with Nauv Kashyap?
Nauv was the second guest I ever had on the podcast (it’s amazing to see how far we’ve come with sound quality!), and his insights on business, risk-taking, and the parallels between poker and practice ownership have stuck with me to this day.
In this classic episode, Nauv shares:

• The importance of playing to your strengths and outsourcing your weaknesses as a practice owner
• How delegating early on allowed him to focus on strategic growth (and how it led to him opening 11 practices)
• Why taking calculated risks is essential for success (and how to minimise your exposure when taking leaps)
• The surprising parallels between poker and business negotiation (and how to tell when someone is bluffing)
• Why being patient and selective is the key to capitalising on the right opportunities (in poker and in practice)

This Episode challenges assumptions about what it means to be a practice owner and gaves a whole new perspective on managing risk and growth.
If you're feeling stuck, stagnant, or uncertain about your next move, this nostalgic episode will set you right.
