Listen "2357: The Real Cost of Unchecked Ambition"
Episode Synopsis
On today's episode, you'll hear Dr. Mark Costes' TED talk from the Super Dentist Boost Camp 2025. In this raw and powerful session, Mark opens with a moving passage from his upcoming book, pulling back the curtain on a time in his life when he had achieved every external marker of success—multiple practices, financial freedom, luxury everything—yet still felt completely unfulfilled. He shares the emotional toll of burnout, the cost of ambition without boundaries, and how he nearly lost it all. Out of that experience came the Four Futures framework—Mind, Meaning, Muscle, and Money—which he now uses daily to build a life of intention and balance. Mark also introduces the mission behind Smile Outreach International and explains why giving back has become the most rewarding chapter of his career. If you've ever questioned whether the price you're paying is worth the life you're building, this one is for you. Be sure to check out the full episode from the Dentalpreneur Podcast!
