If there was a literal checklist for my ideal guest on For the Love of Money, celebrity dentist Dr. Bill Dorfman, would check them all – and then some. Not only he probably the most famous dentist in the history of dentists (think Extreme Makeover, The Doctors and Oprah Winfrey), he's also co-founder of one of the world' leading dental product companies (BriteSmile and Zoom!).

And while that success is inspiring, what's even more is the generosity behind it. With generosity a built-in component to his personality, he's found that by giving he always receives it back and more without expecting it.

Dr. Bill helps with the charity Smiles for Life and also is one of the founders of the LEAP foundation, which connects teenagers and young adults with mentors with the end goal of helping them achieve success.

You don't want to miss out on this fascinating conversation – I am still in awe and also thinking of more ways I can give more and do better.
