👉 Free training for dentists who want a "true sub-12% body fat abs", despite the stress and lack of time: https://youtu.be/cYhvSAeAbJsLimited Spots - 6 per monthDM me RIP6 on IG - instagram.com/dr.richard.low/ORtext (219) 245-7050 for availabilityWe just hit 500 subscribers on this channel.That took:- Less than a year- A lot more work than launching a podcast- And one very expensive mistake involving a $2,500 MacBook Pro and a full Tumblr of liquidIn this episode, I celebrate the 500‑sub milestone, answer YouTube comments, and give you a real behind‑the‑scenes update on:- The dental hive mind I’m building with AI- How I fried my laptop and lost a massive amount of work- What’s happening with Next Level Fathers- My Instagram + webinar focus- And the LOI I just submitted on a new dental practiceIf you’ve been following along or you’re new and want to see what I’m actually building, this is for you.I’m Dr. Richard Low:- Dentist & former CEO of 35 dental practices- Founder of the #1 rated practice‑ownership podcast in dentistry- Burned out, rebuilt my life around faith, family, and fitness- Now coaching 50+ male practice‑owner dentists inside Next Level Fathers to lose weight, reconnect with God, and lead better at homeIn this video, I cover:1. 500 subs & why YouTube is way harder than podcasting- Shared Practices hit 500 average downloads in 2–3 months a decade ago.- YouTube: ~500 subs in just under a year, with:More scriptingMore productionMore editingMore emotional swingsI talk about what I’ve learned and why I’m committed to playing the long game here.2. The dental hive mind project (and how I killed my Mac)- Plan:Download thousands of episodes from ~9 dental podcasts I respect mostTranscribe them locally on my Mac (DEXA‑level data for the dental brain)Summarize each episodeBuild a knowledge wiki on top using AI- Reality:Spent hundreds of dollars in AI credits and months of on‑and‑off processingRan Claude / ChatGPT at night, burnt through weekly tokensThen… dumped a full Tumblr on my $2,500 M‑series MacBook ProData recovery quote: ~$2,500 (on top of ~$1,700 to fix the machine)Nothing was properly synced to GitHub; that folder wasn’t backed upSo I lost a huge amount of work. But I’m starting over smarter:More cost‑efficientBetter structureAsking permission from the podcasters (e.g. Bulletproof guys) and planning to give them their wikis back as a resource.3. Thoughts on AI in dentistry (and why it’s not going away)- Reacting to comments like:“Dentists don’t work hard enough to need AI.”“AI is the last thing insurance companies need.”- My take:AI will be weaponized by insurance to deny claims more efficiently.But being AI‑fluent will become as normal as using:ComputersThe internetSmartphonesI also share some of the wild frontier‑model stories (Claude Mythos, OpenAI sandbox exploits, China’s Kimi, etc.) and why the people building this stuff are both excited and scared.4. Next Level Fathers, retreats, and Instagram- Next Level Fathers:~60 male dentists in the group right nowDaily non‑negotiables: fitness, nutrition, spiritual work, journaling, servicePlanning:September men’s retreatNovember couples retreat (a few open spots)Next year: 4 men’s retreats (one per quarter)Instagram:Around 27K+ followersHad major traction, hit a rut recentlyPlan: reboot consistency with 2+ reels/day, trial content, and deeper coaching hooksWebinars:Building a new webinar around this core idea:You can be a completely different person in 3 months.Spent 4 hours with a (non‑dental) coach to workshop the whole thing.5. The LOI on my next dental practiceJust submitted an LOI on a larger practice with an impressive young seller.Good bones:Strong teamSolid patient baseReal growth potentialEven after multiple ownership rounds, it’s still:Nerve‑wrackingA lot of debtAnd excitingI can’t share details yet (NDAs, everyone listens to everything), but once it’s closed, I’ll walk through the numbers, structure, and lessons.Thank you for 500If you’ve:- Subscribed- Dropped a comment- DM’d me on Instagram- Or just quietly watched in the background, thank you.
