Description: In this powerful first part of a two-part series, Matt sits down with Dr. Mark Costes—dentist, entrepreneur, and founder of the Dental Success Institute and Dental Success Network. Mark shares the raw and inspiring journey from starting a small practice in Prescott Valley, Arizona to owning 16 dental offices. But this isn't just a success story—it's also a cautionary tale about burnout, loss of balance, and the wake-up call that changed everything.   You'll hear how Mark rebuilt his life and business after reaching his financial goals but feeling unfulfilled. He dives into the systems he created to regain health, family connection, and purpose—including his Four Futures framework that evaluates success beyond just the bottom line.   Whether you're a entrepreneur, or someone chasing success, this episode delivers real, practical insight about scaling, failing, and ultimately finding alignment.   Tune in next week for Part 2, where we go deeper into leadership, systems, and sustainable business growth.    Timestamps:    00:15 - Meet Dr. Mark Costes and His Journey from Dentist to Business Leader   01:55 - Building a Life in Prescott and Powerful Local Connections   03:26 - Reflecting on Family, Fatherhood, and Entrepreneurial Growth   05:00 - Mark's Start in Dentistry and Buying His First Practice   06:04 - Why He Chose Prescott Valley and the Strategy Behind It   06:30 - Scaling to 6 Practices and the Cracks That Emerged   07:15 - Losing Key People and Realizing He Wasn't Systemized   10:00 - From 6 to 16 Practices: What Worked and What Didn't   10:20 - Launching the Podcast and Building the Dental Success Empire   11:00 - Stats and Reach of Mark's Podcast After 10 Years   13:58 - Mark's First Business: Tacos, Cheeseburgers & an MBA   17:15 - Learning from Mistakes and Collapsing Time for Others   18:35 - Entrepreneurship, Burnout, and the Myth of Balance   20:00 - Hitting Financial Goals and Still Feeling Empty   21:45 - The Four Futures: Mind, Meaning, Muscle, and Money and How to Measure and Improve Each Quadrant   25:23 - Knowing When You're Out of Alignment and Resetting   26:50 - Outro and What's Coming in Part 2   Resources & Links   Want to be a guest on the show, or have a deal that you would like for us to evaluate?
