Dr. Tim Richardson is guest who has been on the podcast in the past, and it was a pleasure to host him again. He is the founder of Acorn Kids Pediatric Dentistry in the Salem, Oregon area. He currently has six offices, eleven dentists, and a wealth of knowledge on growing and operating new pediatric dental practices.

Today we talk about bringing on an associate. When is the right time? How do you know it's a good fit? Where do you find good associates? Should you offer them equity? What's a competitive compensation package? How do you make the administrative process go smoothly? All details that we discuss in today's episode.

Dr. Richardson and I also discuss listening to Ben Nemtin as the keynote speaker at AAPD San Diego. Dr. Richardson was inspired by his message to live without regrets and to create a bucket list, and he was actually able to convince Ben to give a virtual presentation to his practice. Dr. Richardson is hosting the event through his foundation, Acorn Kids International. Listeners of the podcast are able to join Ben's presentation for free, but donations to the foundation are welcomed, and proceeds go to support children in poverty in Kenya. I'm excited for both myself and my team to tune into this event so that I can help them grow both professionally and personally, inside and outside of the office. If you are interested in tuning in to this presentation, email Dr. Richardson at timrichardsondds@gmail.com. The event is October 25th and 2:30 PST.
