ABOUT THE JOURNEY

It Started with a Conversation

When Dr. Scott Leune joined the Shared Practices Podcast in late 2024, his goal wasn’t to become a “podcast personality.” It was to have honest conversations about what really drives a successful dental career – leadership, systems, and the discipline of running a business.

Across ten episodes, Scott’s no-fluff approach struck a chord. Dentists didn’t just listen; they started re-thinking what ownership could look like. Those conversations proved something Scott had believed for years: when dentists start thinking like CEOs, everything changes.

From Guest Voice to Guiding Voice

That realization set the stage for what came next. The Dental CEO Podcast was born out of a desire to go deeper – to keep challenging the assumptions of traditional practice ownership and to share what Scott has learned from building and advising some of the most efficient dental organizations in North America.

Each episode continues that mission: practical frameworks, candid discussions, and a focus on helping doctors create profitable, well-led, and purpose-driven businesses.

The Lost Episode Archives

Before The Dental CEO Podcast began, there was a spark – the original Shared Practices series where Scott first shared his perspective. Those recordings captured a turning point for many listeners and for Scott himself.

You can still revisit them here: the conversations that started a movement toward smarter, more intentional leadership in dentistry – and ultimately inspired The Dental CEO Podcast.
