People are feeling the heat of climbing prices, disruption of supply chains, and a whole lot more.

"This is the big graduation time of year so I thought I would give dental school and dental hygiene school graduates a few thoughts on the subject of transitioning from school to the real world of private practice. Now for most of us, who are not graduating, please listen and write me any comments you think they should hear from you and I will read them out on the next podcast.
