I’m done chasing after orthodontists. That might sound a bit harsh, but if you’ve ever tried organizing a big event, you’ll get it.

In this 5-Minute Friday, I’m pulling back the curtain on why the OP Summit is officially done.

I will explain how attendance trends are shifting across the board, and why now is the perfect time to step away while we’re still at the top.

I get real about the frustrating reality of planning for a crowd that signs up but often doesn’t follow through.

But this episode isn’t a goodbye. I’ve got six pages of ideas for a totally different kind of event starting in 2026.

I also preview a new coaching program that’s coming, built to help you develop the kind of business foundation that lets you grow confidently and lead your practice like a pro.

🎧 Give it a listen. Let’s build the dream together.
