Episode notes
What does it take to solve the clinical confidence gap holding dentistry back? In this episode of The Dental Economist Show, host Mike Huffaker sits down with Dr. Lincoln Harris, founder and CEO of Ripe Global, the world's leading cloud-based dental education platform now operating in 35 countries with over 10,000 learners. Launched five days into the COVID lockdown from a small coastal town in Australia, Ripe Global is now bringing its proven model to the United States at exactly the moment the DSO industry needs it most. Dr. Harris makes a compelling case that the biggest bottleneck in dentistry today isn't technology or marketing it's clinical confidence. Tune in as he shares how geographic necessity in rural Queensland sparked a global mission, why investing in dentist training can drive a 10x revenue return, and how Ripe Global's live, hands-on virtual model is transforming outcomes for DSOs across the country. #dentaleconomist #clinicalconfidence #dentaleducation If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe, like, and comment Chapters: 00:00 Introduction & Meeting Dr.
