In Part Two of our conversation with Dr. Naved Fatmi, D.M.D. (@drnavedfatmi), we dive into the real-world business of dentistry—beyond the operatory. We unpack what sweat equity actually means, how to approach job interviews with the right mindset, and why treatment planning is one of the most valuable (and overlooked) skills in building trust and case acceptance. Dr. Fatmi also breaks down how your lifestyle choices and personal priorities—like choosing to live in a high-cost city—can directly impact your earning potential. From location to lifestyle, these decisions often determine not just your quality of life, but how much you actually take home. Whether you’re navigating your first associate position or rethinking how you run your practice, this episode offers grounded advice with long-term impact.Dr. Naved Fatmi, D.M.D. (⁠@drnavedfatmi⁠)—a practice owner, educator, and former Chair of the Florida Board of Dentistry.
