Group Function: Reclaiming the "C" Word: Fixing the Reputation of Dental Consulting
In this episode of the Group Function podcast, Alan sits down with Joe Chickerillo and Lana Rivera to recap an incredible Chicago Midwinter meeting and dive deep into why the word "consultant" feels broken in modern dentistry. Joe shares his "first and only" philosophy for evaluating tech startups and disruptive ideas, while Lana leverages her 20+ years of industry experience to unpack the critical anatomy of team buy-in and breaking through professional glass ceilings. Together, they pull back the curtain on the Academy of Dental Management Consultants (ADMC). Far from a rigid, one-size-fits-all network, the ADMC operates as a vetted mastermind of niche experts—spanning financial strategy, team culture, marketing, and technology. Whether you are a practitioner looking for a safe space to solve precise practice bottlenecks or an entrepreneur seeking a cure for the loneliness of the road, this conversation proves why the right collaborative network is the ultimate cheat code for moving the profession forward.
