Listen Now

Did you miss us? Time to get back with the Dentists in Cars, Jonathan Abenam, Abenaim, Abbenaym?  How do you say it?  And Shawn Vandiver, Vandyvivver, that's a lot of v's. It's Dentists in Cars with Jonathan and Shawn! (let's leave it at that, ok?)

Livin' the dream!  Have a great weekend! -Jonathan and Shawn

Heads up, Jonathan is NOT angry today!  Mark your calendars. He's always fighting for dentists.  Don't get taken advantage of! Also, know ahead of time Shawn has a doctor appointment first thing this morning.  Have a great day!

Start off another week with a bang! Jonathan and Shawn talk a little bit about event marketing, but the real take away is community involvement. How involved in your community are you through your practice? Shawn explains how connecting this eclipse to our charitable mission has resulted in a steady stream of donations (and potential patients) in the first few hours Monday morning. Have a great day!

All I can think of after today's morning call is Dumb and Dumber.  "That John Denver's full of s**t man!". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GV3E5e7fZ6M Do you get patients who come to your office with no means to pay for the treatment they need?  Or what about patients who come to your office in pain, but don't want to move forward with ANY treatment for fear or distrust? And lastly, why is Jonathan SO. ANGRY? Have a Happy Wednesday!

How's your Tuesday shaping up?  Shawn talks about using the Amazon Echo Show in his practice to get more reviews. Have an awesome day!

It's the start of another awesome week in Dental Land! How long do you give your hygiene team for each patient? How do you respond when patients say they 'only want a regular cleaning'? Jonathan gives some great tips to educate, motivate, and inspire your hygienists and patients.

Happy Wednesday!  Good Morning Dentists! Life can be quite a roller coaster sometimes.  When you're following your dreams, visions, and working toward your goals, how do you deal with negativity? How do you respond to 'you can't do that'? We've all heard 'you are the sum total of the 5 people you spend the most time with'. Keep at it and go forward building your dream practice.

Did you know that Jonathan is a YUGE fan of Honey Boo Boo?  True story! Shawn brings up some new technology that is in the works with dentistry and augmented reality.  Cool stuff!

Jonathan needs to invest in new technology, like upgrading his flip phone.  Had to splice three calls together, but bear with us after 4 minutes.  We talk about The Four Agreements, and how we both went through similar dilemmas just yesterday. Talk to you soon!

Did you miss us?  I think Jonathan is mad at Shawn.  He's NEVER angry.  Today we started off a little bumpy, but it turned out to be a really productive conversation and it spawned a great idea to capture your missed calls from prospects. Welcome back to the Dentists in Cars conversations!

Happy Wednesday is here!  What are you doing to inspire and motivate your team today? 

It's been a week off for the Independence Day Holiday and now we're back at it.  I'm sure you have an iPod.  You got a UPOD?

You working Friday before the July 4th week?  Enjoy this conversation for your holiday weekend.

Have you ever walked out on a job?  What about by text message?  What about as a practicing dentist?  Yep, that happened.

I had a funeral to attend about an hour drive.  What else am I supposed to do?  Today we talk about someone in your office who could be a good fit for another position on your team.

Get a little personal with Jonathan and Shawn, maybe on your way home from the office today?

Who's right and who's wrong?  You can BOTH be right.  It's all about PERSPECTIVE.

Wait a second, HOW MANY patients are going to be getting full mouth implant dentistry?  Is that a real number?

Could this be the day? Testing another milling template for same day eMax crowns. And apparently, Jonathan buys pants that are too long for him.
