Episode notes
Startup Near-Bankruptcy Sparked Aaron's Coaching Path
- Aaron Nicholas almost went bankrupt in year two after his 1988 startup practice and hired consultants to recover.
- That hard start motivated him to coach other dentists and led to speaking at DSI summits where he found enjoyment helping younger docs.
Use One System And High Reps For Molar Endo
- Teach a single, repeatable endo system so learners get reps and avoid mixing conflicting techniques.
- Aaron runs a four-hour morning didactic then an afternoon bench session where attendees do 5–7 molar root canals on extracted teeth for muscle memory.
Launch An ROI Challenge To Drive Rapid Implementation
- Force immediate implementation with an ROI challenge: participants send a photo of their first clinical case after the course.
- Aaron texts attendees if no ROI arrives; average time to first case is seven to ten business days and fastest was same-week.
