Ashley Joves — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 06:00:00 -0400

Building Ashley's Second Smile & Co. Office: Floor Plans, Architects, and Unexpected Surprises

In this episode, Ashley and Collin go behind the scenes of building Ashley's second Smile & Co. office, diving into the two-year construction timeline and the decisions that shaped the space from day one. Ashley opens up about drawing her own floor plan on taped-together printer paper, why she brought on a dental-specific architect for this build (unlike her first location), and the surprising realities of buying an existing building versus leasing one.

In this episode:

Ashley's original floor plan: drawing it herself on taped printer paper and comparing it to the final result
Why Ashley hired an architect for this build (and didn't for her first location)
Architect vs. GC: cost differences, scope of work, and who actually needs an architect
The Denver trip: Pinterest boards, a 3D walkthrough, and designing the vision from scratch
How the architect, GC, and interior designer worked together (and Dave's initial hesitation about "too many cooks")
Designing a separate cosmetic wing, the "office within an office" concept
Communication between the build team: walkthroughs, emails, and staying in the loop
Unexpected surprises: shared Wi-Fi with the building next door, a load-bearing wall that couldn't move, and the "pony wall" fix
The $71,000 building permit shock, and why budgeting for city fees matters more than people think
Ashley's advice: architect vs. no architect, and why owning your building changes the equation

Michelin Star Moves: The Morning Huddle That Changes Everything

Ashley Joves — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 06:00:00 -0400

Michelin Star Moves: The Morning Huddle That Changes Everything

In this episode Ashley and Collin break down the morning huddle that has become a non negotiable part of how Smile and Co. runs every single day. From starting with gratitude to identifying VIP patients, this quick episode is full of tactical takeaways you can implement in your own practice starting tomorrow morning.

What You'll Hear In This Episode:

Starting With Gratitude Every huddle begins with each team member sharing something they are grateful for in the office. It is fast, it is simple, and it sets the tone for the entire day before a single number gets discussed.

The Numbers Check In After gratitude, the team reviews new patients for the month, the previous day's collections and production, and where the schedule currently stands so everyone is aligned before the day begins.

The Chart Review Process Assistants and hygienists go through every patient on the schedule ahead of time, checking for current PAs, treatment accuracy, updated medical history, and any nuances the team needs to know. Ashley shares why catching these details before the patient is in the chair makes all the difference.

Identifying Same Day Treatment Opportunities The team flags unscheduled treatment and potential no shows in advance so they always have a plan if a gap opens up in the schedule.

The VIP Patient Strategy One of Ashley's favorite parts of the huddle. Each day a team member identifies one patient they are going to go above and beyond for, which naturally creates the kind of experience that leads to glowing reviews and referrals.

Why Fifteen Minutes Changes The Whole Day Ashley and Collin explain why this short huddle creates seamless communication between hygiene, assistants, doctors, and front office, and why the investment of fifteen minutes pays off across the entire day.

The End Of Day Huddle They Miss Ashley shares why she misses doing an end of day huddle in the earlier days of the practice and what made it such a valuable learning tool for the team.

The Making Of Evelina Smiles - FIVE

Ashley Joves — Tue, 23 Jun 2026 06:00:00 -0400

The Making Of Evelina Smiles | Front Desk, Floors, and Soft Opening Strategy with Dr. Rich Constantine

In this episode Ashley catches up with Dr. Rich Constantine after a few weeks away and gets a full update on everything happening at Evelina Smiles. From hiring the front office team to finally solving the herringbone flooring saga, to insurance decisions and the philosophy that is shaping how Rich is building his team this time around, this episode is packed with real, in the moment startup updates.

What You'll Hear In This Episode:

The Herringbone Floor Update Remember the flooring drama from a few episodes back? Rich's team found a machine that could finally cut the planks the way they envisioned. The floors look incredible and prove that sometimes the answer really is just more elbow grease.

Building The Front Office Team First Rich hired two full time front desk administrators right out of the gate, both former assistants, so they can speak clinical language and step in when needed. He explains why splitting check in and check out responsibilities matters so much in a larger office and why he wanted them trained up together before adding the clinical team.

Slow Is Smooth, Smooth Is Fast Rich shares an update on his favorite phrase from training. This time he is intentionally building in time to coach his team, role play patient conversations, and make sure everyone is on the same page before opening the doors. He breaks down why confused patients do not commit to treatment and why getting the team aligned matters more than speed.

Construction And Equipment Status Six operatories are fully equipped. Chairs, sterilization, cabinetry, and CBCT are all in. Scanners and the handheld x-ray unit are still on the way. The parking lot needed an unexpected redo and furniture is being timed around construction completion.

Schedule And Sedation Plans Rich shares his initial hours, Monday through Thursday from 8 to 5, and his plan to reserve Fridays for longer procedures and sedation cases once he is solo. He also talks about why he works with a CRNA group for sedation rather than managing it himself.

Dropping Delta Dental Rich shares his reasoning for stepping away from being in network with a major insurance plan and how comparing the membership plan cost to typical payroll deductions made the decision clear.

The Membership Plan Breakdown Rich walks through how his membership plan works through Clerri, including the 20% discount structure, how clear aligners are included, and why tracking a membership plan is the real challenge, not setting one up.

Hiring Challenges In This Job Market Ashley and Rich get honest about no shows, ghosting, and how different hiring feels compared to his their startup. He also shares how leaning on a consultant's team member helped streamline some of the interview process.

The Making Of Evelina Smiles | Branding, Marketing, and Building Something That Lasts with Josh Scott of Studio 8E8

Ashley Joves — Tue, 16 Jun 2026 06:00:00 -0400

The Making Of Evelina Smiles | Branding, Marketing, and Building Something That Lasts with Josh Scott of Studio 8E8

In this episode Ashley sits down with Dr. Rich Constantine and Josh Scott, founder of Studio 8E8. They talk about everything from the story behind the Evelina Smiles name and logo to ad spend strategy, grand opening timing, and what actually makes a startup marketing campaign work, this one is packed with real talk from people who have been through it all.

What You'll Hear In This Episode:

The Story Behind Evelina Smiles Rich shares the deeply personal story behind the name. Evelina was his grandmother, someone who never seemed stressed, always gathered people together, and made everyone feel at home. The practice is named in her honor with a nod to his other grandmother Jane tucked into the waiting room as Jane's Coffee Bar. A name is not just a name when there is a story behind it.

The Branding Process With Studio 8E8 Rich walks through what it was actually like to go through the Studio 8E8 onboarding process from the questionnaire to the first logo iteration to multiple rounds of revisions and ultimately landing back on the very first design. Josh breaks down why logos have to work in every format from a ChapStick to a billboard and why the Evelina sunflower was designed with that versatility in mind.

Ad Spend: What Actually Works Josh breaks down the real numbers behind dental marketing. New patient Google campaigns run between $275 and $350 per acquisition. Implant campaigns need a minimum of $5,000 a month to be effective. Full mouth surgical campaigns start at $10,000. And none of it works if your team does not have the systems in place to handle the leads coming in.

Why Rich Scaled Back His Marketing Package Rich made the intentional decision to step back from a more aggressive ad spend package before opening. His reason was simple. Slow is steady and steady is fast. Get the team trained, get the systems dialed in, and then turn up the volume. Throwing money at marketing before your infrastructure is ready is just money out the window.

Building The Right Team Before You Open Rich is bringing his front desk team member on a full month before seeing the first patient. The goal is to get her trained on the practice management software, the phone systems, the membership plan, the financial conversations, and everything in between before a single patient walks through the door.

Grand Opening Strategy Rich is planning to soft open in July and push the grand opening to September or October once the space is settled and the team is comfortable. Josh and Ashley both agree this is the smarter play. Let the kinks work themselves out first and then use the grand opening as a second wave of momentum when the initial buzz starts to settle.

Michelin Star Moves: How To Build A Team That Actually Fits Your Culture

Ashley Joves — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 06:00:00 -0400

How To Build A Team That Actually Fits Your Culture

In this episode Ashley and Collin sit down for a quick but packed conversation on one of the most important and most overlooked parts of building a dental practice. Hiring. Ashley has spent eight years building the culture at Smile and Co. and she shares everything she has learned along the way. From personality tests to working interviews, from the questions she asks that nobody else does, to the exact words she uses when it is time to let someone go.

What You'll Hear In This Episode:

Define The Avatar Of Each Position Before you post a single job listing know exactly who you are looking for in that specific role. Not just skills. Energy, personality, and how they will show up for your patients every single day. Ashley shares why she has hired from Starbucks and restaurants and why it works.

Hire For Where You Want To Go Ashley learned this the hard way. She once passed on her office manager Judy because she was out of budget. She hired someone cheaper with almost no experience. That person lasted a week. Judy started the day after they opened. The lesson? Do not let salary deter you from hiring the right fit. They will be worth their weight in gold.

The Enneagram Test If you are not using personality assessments in your hiring process start now. Ashley's personal favorite is the Enneagram. It will tell you more about a person than any resume ever could. Get started here: enneagraminstitute.com

The First Two Positions Every Startup Doc Needs A dental assistant who knows the basics and a front office admin with experience. Ashley breaks down why for your very first hires experience matters more than you might think and why cross-trained employees are worth their weight in gold.

The Unconventional Interview Questions What is the last book you read? What is your favorite ice cream flavor? Ashley shares the questions she asks that nobody else does and why getting candidates disarmed and real tells her everything she needs to know.

Green Flags And Red Flags During A Working Interview Ashley watches everything. Curiosity. How they treat the space. Whether they pick something up off the floor without being asked. The small moments always tell the biggest story.

How To Compete With DSOs You cannot out-benefit a DSO so stop trying. Lead with culture. The right people will choose you because of how it feels to work with you, not because of the signing bonus.

How To Fire Fast And Clean Firing never gets easier but it does get cleaner. Ashley shares the exact words she uses, why you always need a witness, why you never give a laundry list of reasons, and why doing it fast is actually the kindest thing you can do for everyone involved.

Always Have An Ad Out For every position. At all times. The best people are not always looking but they are always findable. Ashley shares how she has found some of her best hires through social media, Facebook groups, restaurants, and her own patient base.

The Making Of Evelina Smiles - FOUR

Ashley Joves — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 06:00:00 -0400

Technology, Equipment, and the Nuts and Bolts of Building Evelina Smiles

In this episode Ashley sits down with Dr. Rich Constantine for a deep dive into every system, tool, and piece of equipment going into Evelina Smiles before the doors open. The decisions nobody tells you about until you are already making them.

What You'll Hear in This Episode:

05:00 – Practice Management Software Cloud-based vs server-based and why Rich made the choice he did. What to look for in a startup package. Why the software you choose is one of the hardest decisions to ever walk back.

12:00 – Phones, Payments, and Patient Communication How Rich is handling incoming calls, patient messaging, and merchant services. Why transparent pricing at checkout eliminates awkward counter conversations. And how he is handling insurance credentialing without doing it alone.

20:00 – Insurance Delta Dental, teachers, veterans, and the employers driving his in-network decisions. Why being in-network is marketing in disguise. How Rich thinks about PPOs without turning the practice into a dental mill.

28:00 – Equipment: CT, Chairs, and Cabinetry Why Rich visited vendor showrooms in person before committing to anything. DCI chairs over his previous brand for quality at a lower price point. How Design Ergonomics shaped the entire clinical floor plan and why rear delivery and a tub system beat side cabinetry every time.

38:00 – AI Tools Worth Knowing About AI-assisted radiograph analysis that patients actually get excited about. Instant chairside smile simulations without sending anything to a lab. After hours and overflow call answering so no patient ever hits a voicemail. And the implant robot neither of them are buying yet but cannot stop talking about.

46:00 – Supply Ordering and Equipment Timing Why Rich has not touched his FF&E loan yet. What he ordered early and why. The master supply list mistake that costs new practices money fast. Startup regrets from location one including lab space and cabinetry overspending.

52:00 – Construction Update Power is on. Parking lot paved. Landscaping finalized. Custom cabinetry going in this week. Equipment install weeks scheduled for June. Oh and there is a peanut butter conversation that you did not know you needed.

Coming Next Episode: More from the build as Evelina Smiles gets closer to opening day.

The Making Of Smile and Co. #2 — Episode TWO - The Come To Jesus Moment, Insurance, and Financing

Ashley Joves — Tue, 26 May 2026 06:00:00 -0400

The Making Of Smile and Co. #2 — Smile Design Studio | The Come To Jesus Moment, Insurance, and Financing

In this episode Ashley and Collin sit down inside Smile Design Studio, the very office they are talking about building, for a raw and honest conversation about the decisions that shaped both Smile and Co. locations. From the come to Jesus meeting that almost stopped the second location from happening, to getting out of network at the worst possible time, to the financial side of owning two buildings, this one is packed with real lessons from someone who has lived through all of it.

What You'll Hear In This Episode:

The Come To Jesus Meeting Before Ashley signed on the second location, Brian called a meeting with Ashley, Collin, and Judy to look at the numbers. The data was clear. The path forward was not. Ashley shares what was on the table and why she did it anyway.

Getting Out Of Network At The Worst Possible Time Opening a second location and dropping a major insurance plan at the same time was not the plan. It just happened that way. Ashley breaks down what went wrong, what she would do differently, and why she eventually got back in network.

In Network Versus Out Of Network Now running one of each Ashley shares the real difference between the two models, the vibe, the profitability, and what she wishes she had known before making the switch.

The Financial Side Of Owning The Building SBA loan, practice loan, 10% down, 30 year terms, and a 2.95% interest rate. Ashley walks through the financial structure of Smile Design Studio and why she shopped multiple banks before landing on Bank of America.

Build Your Advisory Team Early A great attorney and a great CPA are not optional. Ashley shares what she would do differently and why getting the right professionals in your corner from day one changes everything.

The Making Of Evelina Smiles - THREE

Ashley Joves — Tue, 19 May 2026 06:00:00 -0400

Branding, Culture, and the Vision Behind Evelina Smiles

In this episode Ashley sits down with Dr. Rich Constantine to go behind the brand. From the story behind the name to the team he is building from scratch, this one is equal parts heart and strategy.

What You'll Hear in This Episode:

05:00 – Where the Name Comes From Evelina is named after his grandmother Evelyn. Why he chose a name with meaning that is not tied to him personally. And the little coffee corner called Cup of Jane, honoring his other grandma, that will live in the waiting room.

12:00 – The Logo, the Sunflower, and the Black and Gold How a bag of sunflower seeds his grandfather planted for his grandmother became the logo. Why black and gold made perfect sense for a Pittsburgh kid. And how AI got him started but Studio 8e8 brought it to life.

20:00 – Trademarking, Websites, and Getting Your Brand Ready Before You Open Why Rich engaged his marketing team right after purchasing the lot. The priority list landing page he has been sending monthly construction updates from. And Ashley's two-year trademark lawsuit cautionary tale.

28:00 – The Vision for Evelina Smiles 12 ops on the first floor plus two dedicated surgery suites. A full kitchen and team gathering space upstairs. A teaching center. And a 20 by 20 turf area out back for the team to decompress at lunch.

35:00 – Hiring and Culture Why Rich is starting with a hygienist from day one and exactly why that matters. How he thinks about cross-training assistants into front desk roles. And the quote that says it all: culture is not something you write on the wall, it is how your team feels on a Sunday night before a Monday morning.

43:00 – Insurance, Membership Plans, and Talking to Patients About Money Starting in-network and why that does not mean becoming a dental mill. How to have honest financial conversations without making it weird. And the membership platform he is launching with before the doors even open.

47:00 – Construction Update Gutters going up. Parking lot paved. Trim going in. IT running data drops. Soft opening target after the 4th of July.

Coming Next Episode: Practice management software, equipment ordering, and all the systems that have to be in place before you see your first patient.

Michelin Star Moves: Transforming the New Patient Experience with Dr. Ashley Joves

Ashley Joves — Tue, 12 May 2026 06:00:00 -0400

The Hospitality Standard

There is a reason Michelin-star restaurants have people coming back again and again. It is not just the food. It is the way they make you feel from the moment you walk in the door to the moment you leave.

Ashley Joves has spent years applying that same philosophy to dentistry at Smile & Co. In this episode, she breaks down exactly what she does so you and your team can start doing it too.

The best part? None of this requires a renovation, a bigger budget, or a complete rebrand. It just requires intention.

"The way you make people feel is what they will remember, long after they've forgotten what you did or what you said." — Will Guidara

Tactical Takeaways

The "Stand and Greet" Rule: Why the physical act of standing up is the most important "unreasonable" move your team can make at the threshold.
The Human-to-Human Exam: Leading with "Personalized Recognition" and genuine connection before ever looking at a chart.
Eye-Level Connection: The physical requirement of removing the "patient napkin" and sitting eye-level to remove the power dynamic.
The "Same Side" Hand-off: Implementing the "Seamless Handoff" at checkout to ensure patients feel like partners, not transactions.
The Extended End: Using handwritten thank-you cards to "stick the landing" long after the patient has left your office.

The "One-Inch Lead" Challenge

Will Guidara says you don't have to be 100% better than the competition; you just need a "one-inch lead" in a hundred different directions. Pick one physical shift from this episode to implement with your team tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM.

The Making Of Smile & Co. #2 - Episode ONE - The Backstory

Ashley Joves — Tue, 05 May 2026 06:00:00 -0400

In this episode, Collin and Ashley take a moment to pause the regular schedule and check in. Between navigating personal health journeys and managing a growing business, the duo realizes they’ve been sitting on a treasure trove of history. While the podcast continues to spotlight new dental startups across the country, Ash and Col are officially opening "The Vault" to finally tell the story of Smile & Co. Roseville.

This isn't a new series—it’s a long-overdue documentation of the "Making Of" Ashley’s own second location, tucked into the feed as they sift through years of footage, "come to Jesus" meetings, and the reality of scaling a brand.

Inside This Episode:

1. The "Wired and Tired" Reality [00:07:18] Ashley shares how a "go big or go home" mentality impacted her health and how she’s using data from her Garmin, Oura ring, and "AI doctors" to find a sustainable baseline.

2. The 3,800 Sq. Ft. Vision [00:24:52] Ashley reflects on moving from the "claustrophobic" Folsom office to the expansive Roseville flagship, prioritizing ceilings, flow, and a boutique hotel brand.

3. The Birthday Offer [00:28:32] Smile & Co. 2 started with a "pocket listing" and a gut feeling. Ashley recounts her 2021 birthday offer on a building everyone said she wasn't ready for.

4. Philosophy Over Data [00:38:33] Why Ashley skipped the demographics report despite four competitors in the same lot, choosing a "blue ocean" approach for the Roseville luxury market.

5. Archiving the Chaos [00:43:14] The duo plans to sprinkle in raw footage from the build-out, covering construction, financial fears, and lessons learned while scaling a brand.

Featured Quotes:

"I could envision what the office was going to look like... something legitimately called to me."
"Your space creates so much of the brand."

The Making Of Evelina Smiles - TWO

Ashley Joves — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 06:00:00 -0400

Location, Demographics, and Financing Your Dream Build

In this episode Ashley sits down with Dr. Rich Constantine for a deep dive into the decisions that happen long before a single wall goes up. Real numbers, real mistakes, and real talk for anyone thinking about a ground up build.

What You'll Hear in This Episode:

05:00 – Location and Site Selection How Rich found his first lot on a downtown walk. How his non-compete shaped the search for lot number two. What to look for in a real estate partner.

11:00 – Demographics: How to Read the Market Without a Fancy Report Look for Starbucks, new grocery stores, hospital expansions, and high school additions. Where big companies put money, growth follows.

15:00 – Financing: Two Loans, No SBA, and the Power of a Local Bank Real estate loan plus FFE loan. First 24 months interest only. Less than 10% down on real estate. Nothing down on the build out. Why liquidity matters more than most startup docs realize.

28:00 – Parking: The Unsexy Detail That Can Make or Break You Rich worked backwards from parking before deciding on building size. Ashley shares her cautionary tale of losing half her lot to a not so friendly neighbor. Two and a half spots per operatory is the formula to remember.

35:00 – Signage, HOA, and the Hidden Costs Nobody Warns You About HOA fees from $75 to $1,100 a month. Historic district restrictions. The things you don't know until you know.

40:00 – Construction Update Drywall up. Building painted. Sidewalk framing started. Soft opening projected end of June.

Coming Next Episode: Branding, interior design, and the full story behind the Evelina Smiles aesthetic.

The Marketing Truth Every Startup Doc Needs to Hear | Josh Scott of Studio 8E8 and Dr. Toni of Bloom Dental Co.

Ashley Joves — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 06:00:00 -0400

The Marketing Truth Every Startup Doc Needs to Hear | Josh Scott of Studio 8E8 and Dr. Toni of Bloom Dental Co.

In this episode, Ashley sits down with Josh Scott, founder of Studio 8E8, and Dr. Toni Torres of Bloom Dental Co. for one of the most practical and inspiring branding and marketing conversations we have ever had on this podcast. From building a brand before you have a lease to finding your story when you think you don't have one, this episode is the conversation every startup doc needs before they open their doors.

What You'll Learn:

Your Story Is Already There: Josh breaks down why every doctor has a story worth telling and how Studio 8E8's process pulls it out of you even when you think you are just a normal dentist with nothing special to say.

Brand Versus Business: Should your practice be able to exist without you? Ashley, Toni, and Josh explore why building around your values instead of just your face is one of the most important decisions you will make as a founder.

Start Before You're Ready: Dr. Toni reached out to Studio 8E8 before she had a location, a loan, or a lease signed. Her first community marketing event happened before she even broke ground and patients are still walking in a year later because of it.

Marketing Is Momentum: Josh explains why startup docs should be leaning into hustle and energy right now and exactly when to start building that momentum before you ever open your doors.

Story Driven Creative Meets Performance Marketing: Josh shares how Studio 8E8 has evolved from a pure creative agency into a full branding and marketing partner and why combining storytelling with SEO, digital ads, and social media is the most predictable way to grow a practice.

The Discovery Call Decoded: Josh walks through exactly what to expect when you reach out to Studio 8E8, from the first 45 minute discovery call to the packages available and how they customize everything around where you are in your startup journey.

The Making Of ThreeTwoThree Dentistry with Dr. Brian Edwards

Ashley Joves — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 06:00:00 -0400

The Making Of 323 Dentistry with Dr. Brian

In this episode, Collin sits down with Dr. Brian, founder of 323 Dentistry in Newhall, CA — a practice built on prevention-first care, fee transparency, and hard-earned pivots. From a bank-robbing former employer to a ground-up build finally breaking ground, Dr. Brian's journey is one of the most raw and relatable we've ever heard.

What You'll Learn:

From Chaos to Clarity: Dr. Brian's first practice ended with a locked-out office, the police, and a former employer later arrested as the "rolled sleeve bandit." That wake-up call shaped everything that followed.

Building 323 Dentistry: After years in corporate and associate roles, Dr. Brian merged two struggling practices, survived COVID, and rebranded around a prevention-first philosophy — where gum pocket measurements of 3-2-3 represent the standard of care, not the exception.

Going Out of Network: He walks through dropping insurance contracts, simplifying his fee schedule, and creating a monthly membership model where patients know exactly what they'll pay — no surprises, no confusion.

GBT & Salivary Diagnostics: Dr. Brian breaks down Guided Biofilm Therapy, salivary diagnostics, and perio protect trays — and why investing in these tools transformed patient outcomes and hygiene team morale.

Hiring & Culture: From 80+ hires over 10 years to a culture-led approach, Dr. Brian gets honest about what he'd do differently — and why clearly defined expectations matter more than finding the "perfect" employee.

The Next Chapter: After four years navigating city permits, oak trees, and hillside access, Dr. Brian finally has approval to build a 4,000 sq ft ground-up dental office — with a 3,200 sq ft event and CE space on top.

Books Mentioned:

???? Buy Back Your Time — Dan Martell

???? The E-Myth Revisited — Michael E. Gerber

The Making Of Evelina Smiles - ONE

Ashley Joves — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 06:00:00 -0400

This episode serves as the ultimate "Intro" to a brand-new chapter of The Making Of. We aren't just talking about a new office; we’re documenting the evolution of Dr. Rich Constantine as he embarks on his most intentional project yet: Evelina Smiles.

Rich pulls back the curtain on his entire career arc—a journey that has seen him go from a high-level Associate to launching his first successful Startup, navigating the complexities of Selling that practice, and now, returning to the arena to build a second startup from the ground up.

The Evolution of the Vision

This isn't a "how-to" on clinical dentistry; it’s a study of Life Lessons earned in the trenches. Rich discusses how his first practice taught him the mechanics of business, but his second practice is about the soul of the patient experience.

What to expect in this episode:

The Full Circle Journey: A deep dive into the "Associate to Owner to Seller" pipeline and why Rich chose to do it all over again.
The "Second Startup" Advantage: How having a "clean slate" allows you to apply years of trial and error to build something more aligned with your personal values.
Wisdom Over Hype: Rich shares the hard truths about what he would do differently this time around—from staffing culture to financial boundaries.
Building for Legacy: Why "Evelina Smiles" represents more than just a business; it’s the culmination of every win and loss from his first decade in ownership.

If you’ve ever wondered if the grass is greener on the other side of a sale, or if you’re an associate looking for the roadmap to a long-term legacy, this intro episode is your foundation for the rest of the series.

The Making Of Soleil Dental Co. with Dr. Megan Rascius

Ashley Joves — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 06:00:00 -0400

"You can't have beauty without that foundation of health and function."

In this episode of The Making Of..., Collin sits down with Dr. Megan of Soleil Dental Co. to pull back the curtain on a truly unique path to ownership. Dr. Megan didn't just decide to open a practice; she decided to build a "village" in her hometown after realizing the standard associate track couldn't contain her vision.

Her story is a masterclass in the "Shell-Start"—buying an existing facility with equipment but zero patients. This allowed her to skip the "dirt floor" construction phase while still having a total blank slate to build the culture, brand, and patient experience she dreamed of.

Key highlights from our conversation:

The Patient’s Perspective: How growing up missing 14+ teeth gave Dr. Megan a level of empathy that most clinicians never experience.
The "Unmanageable" Founder: Why she walked away from a potential buy-in to start fresh just 3 minutes from her front door.
Integrated Care: Her mission to bridge the gap between dentistry, lactation support, and airway health after her own journey as a mother.
The Hybrid Grind: The reality of DIY renovations, hiring a lean team, and the "Founder Shift" required to lead a practice while still working as an associate.

If you’ve ever felt like you were "too much" for an associate role, or if you’re curious about how to find a "middle ground" between a cold start and an acquisition, Dr. Megan’s story is for you.

The Making Of Bloom Dental Co. - FIFTEEN

Ashley Joves — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 06:00:00 -0400

Collin sits down with Dr. Toni Torres to see how Bloom Dental Co. is flourishing five months post-launch.

1. Clinical & Financial Milestones

The Profit Pivot: Bloom hit profitability in Month 3 and doubled it in Month 4, fueled by a successful All-on-X case.
The $30k Tax Surprise: Toni shares the relief of a $30,000 tax refund due to startup investment losses—a crucial "cash cushion" as she navigates not yet taking a personal salary.

2. Anatomy of a "Wedding-Style" Grand Opening

The Results: Beyond the 100+ guests and taco truck, the event was a massive ROI win, with lead assistant Ari scheduling 8-9 new patients on the spot.
Toni’s Advice: "Go all out. You only grand-open once. Spend the money to make it exactly what you want."

3. Hyper-Local Marketing & The Power of the "Ask"

50+ Five-Star Reviews: Bloom reached this milestone in under six months. Toni’s secret? Being human. She asks patients for detailed reviews to help a small business grow, specifically targeting keywords like "anxiety."
Community Roots: From a cover feature in Inspirada Living magazine to raffling gift cards from local med-spas and BBQ joints, Toni is proving that deep neighborhood roots outperform broad digital ads.

4. Scaling the Team & Identity

The Extern Advantage: Toni is currently cross-training a dental assisting extern to handle both back-office and front-desk duties.
The Hygiene Hurdle: Planning to hire a part-time hygienist by May. Collin and Toni discuss the "3x Production" gold standard and the challenge of $60+/hr wages versus insurance denials.

Toni's Question: > "If you are in-network, but an insurance provider doesn't cover a specific benefit (like adult sealants), are you contractually obligated to honor the insurance fee schedule, or can you charge your full UCR fee for that non-covered service?"

Life, Wellness, and the "Marathon Mindset"

Ashley Joves — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 06:00:00 -0400

Life, Wellness, and the "Marathon Mindset"

In this raw and intimate "living room session," Ashley, Collin, and Brian sit down to pass a single mic and share a major life update. This isn't your typical clinical podcast; it’s a deep dive into the "Not Alone" mission that defines The Making Of.

From Brian’s miraculous PET scan results to a surprise marathon challenge and the role of AI in personal wellness, this episode explores the grit required to navigate the "messy middle" of both dentistry and life.

Key Discussion Points

The Miraculous Update: Brian shares the incredible news that his tumor has responded to chemo and immunotherapy beyond expectations—showing no current evidence of existence on his latest PET scan.
The Decision to Act: Despite the clear scan, the team discusses why surgery remains the necessary next step to ensure "dysplastic cells" don't create a monster down the road.
The CIM Marathon Challenge: Brian officially puts the "nail in the coffin" by challenging Ashley and Collin to run the California International Marathon (CIM) this December. It’s a 9-month journey from recovery to the finish line.
Mindset & Control: Brian reflects on the struggle of losing his identity as an athlete during chemo and how this marathon represents taking back control of his body and health.
AI in Wellness: Collin explains how she’s been using Gemini AI as a digital personal trainer and nutritionist to bridge the gap between setting goals and executing them.
Plant-Forward Living: The trio discusses the realities of a whole-food, plant-based diet, the struggle for protein, and Ashley’s latest kitchen experiment: a sourdough starter made from macerated grapes.
The Power of Prayer: Ashley shares her mindset heading into Brian’s major surgery, leaning on faith and the strength of the community to get through the "rabbit hole" of anxiety.

A Special Request for Our Tribe ????

Brian is heading into major surgery this week, followed by a stay in the ICU. We are asking our community to rally around the Joves family. Please keep them in your prayers and thoughts for a successful procedure and a steady recovery. No one goes through the "messy middle" alone.

A Walk, A Miracle, and a New Menu

Ashley Joves — Tue, 03 Mar 2026 06:00:00 -0500

In this raw, "on-the-go" episode, Brian and Ashley take you on a Thursday afternoon walk in California to discuss the most intense season of their lives. Recorded just after receiving life-changing medical imaging results, this conversation bridges the gap between the clinical "battle" and the human "journey."

From the "hangover" of chemotherapy to a radical shift in nutrition, this is a deep dive into what it means to "make" a life when the foundation is shaken.

????️ In This Episode, We Discuss:

The Miracle of the Scans: Brian shares the incredible news from his recent MRI and PET scans—showing a near-total response to chemo and immunotherapy.
The Military Mindset vs. Medical Reality: How Brian’s history as an athlete and physician led to "stupidly optimistic" expectations for chemo, and the humble reality of the "full-body rash" that stopped him in his tracks.
Phase 0 of Nutrition: Why they pivoted from a strict Keto diet to a plant-centric, whole-foods approach (and the science of the "Warburg Effect").
Fasting through Chemo: Brian explains his experience with "fasted infusions" to mitigate nausea and the "permanent hangover" feeling.
The Power Couple Stress-Test: Ashley opens up about the "non-caretaker" side of being a companion—the fights, the frustration, and the grace required to survive a trauma season.
Community as Medicine: How a random connection with a doctor in Maine led to a vital "buddy system" with another patient going through the exact same diagnosis.
The Road to UCSF: What the upcoming surgery looks like and why "giving up control" was the hardest lesson of all.

"Your Mess is Your Message" - Brian’s Perspective on the Fight Forward

Ashley Joves — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 06:00:00 -0500

In this raw "trifecta" episode, Ashley, Brian, and Collin sit down for a candid update on Brian’s battle with Stage 4 tongue cancer. Recorded just weeks before a life-altering surgery, the team discusses the physical toll of chemo, the overwhelming weight of "decision fatigue," and how the dental community has rallied to support them. This is an unfiltered look at resilience and the reality of navigating a healthcare system in crisis.

1. Life in the "Messy Middle"

Family Strength: Brian shares the emotional (and humorous) reality of home life, from their sons shaving their heads in solidarity to a breakthrough moment of faith and empathy with their middle son, Brady.
The "Messy Years": Brian reflects on a quote by Chris Dixon: "The messy years make the obvious years possible." He views this grueling season as the "mess" that will eventually become a message of hope.

2. Clinical & Dietary Pivots

Metabolic Support: Brian details his 72-hour fast leading into his third round of chemo to improve treatment tolerance and "starve" the metabolic pathways of the tumor.
The 180-Degree Shift: After seeing rapid growth on high protein, the couple pivoted to a 95% plant-based, whole-food diet inspired by Dr. Valter Longo. Ashley discusses the shift to juicing and "clean" plant proteins like lentils and tofu.
Favorable Momentum: Recent imaging shows that while the journey is far from over, the tumor growth has slowed, and the lymph node architecture is improving.

3. The Mental Burden: Decision Fatigue

The Surgical Plan: Brian explains the upcoming Hemi-Glossectomy (removing half the tongue) and reconstruction using a thigh graft.
The Weight of Choice: After researching alternative trials (like Chef Shirley’s non-surgical path in Chicago), Brian speaks candidly about "decision fatigue." When every choice feels like life or death, he has reached a point of mental exhaustion. He finds a strange peace in surgery because it shifts his role from "decision-maker" to "rehab worker."

4. Advocacy & A Broken System

Access Challenges: Despite being a physician, Brian reveals the "mind-boggling" difficulty of scheduling scans, with major institutions booked out for months.
The Power of the Tribe: Ashley discusses her "bulldog" approach to advocacy—leveraging her network to get a patient liaison at MD Anderson in Houston within 30 minutes of a single text.

The Fight We Didn't See Coming: Dr. Ashley Joves on the Healthy Patient Paradox and the Messy Middle

Ashley Joves — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 06:00:00 -0500

Life in the Making — An Update from Dr. Ashley Joves

After a brief hiatus, Dr. Ashley Joves is back in the booth with Collin Al-Samarrie. While The Making Of usually focuses on the grit of dental startups, this episode takes a deeply personal turn as Ashley shares the "life" part of the journey—specifically, the challenging season her family has walked through since December.

In this transparent and heart-wrenching episode, Ashley opens up about her husband Brian’s battle with oral cancer recurrence, the reality of navigating a Stage 3 diagnosis, and the critical clinical lessons every healthcare provider needs to hear.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

The Return to the Mic: Ashley and Collin share a "This or That" icebreaker to settle back into their rhythm before diving into the "meat and potatoes" of life lately.
The "Action Potential" Mindset: Why Brian’s "all or nothing" approach to health and life has been both a blessing and a challenge during treatment.
The Healthy Patient Paradox: Brian is the "poster child" for health—a non-smoker, fitness enthusiast, and physician who never gets sick. Ashley discusses the shock of finding oral cancer in the one place she never expected: her own home.
A Shift in Staging: How a Stage 1 diagnosis in July rapidly evolved into an aggressive Stage 3 recurrence by December, and the emotional toll of receiving that news just days before Christmas.
The Power of Clinical Advocacy: Ashley shares a vital lesson on trusting your gut. After an initial biopsy came back negative, her intuition led to a second biopsy that eventually confirmed the cancer.
The Treatment Path: A deep dive into the "Kitchen Sink" approach—choosing a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy (Pembrolizumab) to fight the tumor’s progression before opting for invasive surgery.
The Reality of the "Messy Middle": From the physical toll of chemo rashes and weight loss to the emotional weight of telling their children, Ashley and Collin discuss the raw reality of being a "soldier" through trauma.

A Note of Gratitude: Ashley and the entire team want to thank this community for the overwhelming outpouring of prayers, messages, and support. This community truly is our extended family.

EPISODE 12 “The Business of Branding, Banned Words, and Burst Water Heaters”

In this week’s episode Dr. Ashley Joves, Dr. Toni Torres, and Collin dive deep into the "messy middle" of the startup journey—moving from the dry world of legal paperwork into the high-stakes world of branding and insurance.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the "invisible" work of being an owner, this episode is a must-listen. Toni and Ashley pull back the curtain on the mistakes that cost six figures and the aggressive credit strategies you need to secure a massive cash runway before your loan even hits the bank.

08:15 – The Paperwork Foundation: PLLC vs. DBA • Why Toni filed for a PLLC • The crucial step of filing a DBA so the bank can actually accept your checks • Why your legal name and your brand name don’t have to be the same

55:00 – What saved Toni’s life this week? • Winning the insurance appeal and finally finishing that Nevada State Board inspection

Toni is hitting a technical wall with Open Dental and needs the community’s help! Since Bloom Dental Co. takes so many prepayments, her 'unearned income' reports are showing a negative value for the month once the procedures are completed.

The Question: If you take prepayments, is this normal? Are you seeing negative values on your aging reports, or is there a 'secret click' in Open Dental to post these prepayments more cleanly? If you're an OD PRO, let us know!

Seven Years In: Clinical Mission, Marketing Hustle, and the "3-Year Shift" with Dr. Hiral Patel

Ashley Joves — Tue, 13 Jan 2026 06:00:00 -0500

About the Guest: Dr. Hiral Patel is the owner of Solid Smiles in Lewisville, Texas. As an "OG" member of The Making Of community, she transitioned from searching for acquisitions to building her own startup from the ground up in 2019.

Episode Summary: Collin and Dr. Patel discuss the full evolution of a startup—from the first "silent" months in 2019 to a thriving, five-op practice seven years later. Hiral gets transparent about the financial struggles of the early years, the importance of "boots on the ground" marketing, and the deeply personal motivation behind her practice: her father’s battle with and victory over oral cancer. She also shares her simplified hiring philosophy and why she wouldn't trade ownership for an associate role for anything.

Key Takeaways:

A Personal Mission: Hiral opens up about her father’s oral cancer journey (diagnosed in 2014).
The Marketing Myth: Hiral shares how she used baskets of cards at local businesses and handwritten thank-you notes to build a patient base when the phone wasn't ringing.
Attitude Over Resume: Why Hiral looks for people who are presentable and willing to learn rather than "experienced" staff who might be jaded or stuck in their ways.
The Power of Coaching: Hiral utilizes a coach to role-play handoffs and case presentations monthly.
Financial Reality: Hiral breaks down her personal pay structure from Year 1 ($23k) to Year 7.

Time Stamps:

[00:00] Intro: Meeting an OG member of the 14,500+ Facebook community.
[05:30] The "Anti-Startup" mindset and opening in August 2019.
[12:45] Bootstrapped Marketing: 7-Eleven flyers and Chipotle baskets.
[18:20] The "Secret Sauce": Why Hiral’s team still sends 50 handwritten cards a month.
[23:40] Outfitting rooms: Why Hiral wishes she did more than 2 ops at the start.
[28:15] The Paycheck: From $23,000 in Year 1 to owner-level income.
[34:50] Hiring & Firing: The first termination and hiring for attitude.
[42:15] The Heart of the Practice: Hiral’s father’s oral cancer story and 10-year recovery.
[53:10] Advice for the Grind: "The days are hard, but the years are good."

The Making Of Bloom Dental Co. - ELEVEN

Ashley Joves — Tue, 06 Jan 2026 06:00:00 -0500

The Money Deep Dive: Loans, Leverage, and the Cost of Day ZeroEpisode Summary: Happy New Year! We are officially in 2026, and we are kicking off the year with a masterclass in startup finance. To celebrate our recent win as Course Karma’s 2025 Best Facebook Group for Business Management, we are diving straight into the "Day Zero" realities of Dr. Toni Torres and Bloom Dental Co.In this episode, Toni pulls back the curtain on the phase before the lease is signed. We explore the terrifying transition from being an associate to asking a bank for nearly a million dollars. If you have ever wondered how to negotiate with lenders, what insurance you actually need, or how to survive the first 90 days of "insurance lag," this episode is your tactical manual.

Time-Stamped Highlights[11:20] – Dental School Doesn't Prepare You for This [12:30] – The First Phone Call: The Rep Connection [14:10] – Approval Before the Search The golden rule of startups: Do not look for a location until you know your budget. Toni explains why she prioritized the loan approval process to understand her square footage limits and avoid "exhausting" herself looking at locations she couldn't afford.[15:45] – Interviewing the Banks: How to Negotiate Terms Toni interviewed four different banks. She breaks down the "vibe check" of lenders and how she used a competing 14-year loan proposal to negotiate her preferred lender's monthly payments in half.[18:30] – Specialized Lenders vs. Big Banks A look at the difference between general banks and medical/dental specific lenders. Why specialized lenders understand the "insane" overhead of dentistry (plumbing, compressors, $130k CAD/CAM setups) that general business lenders might not.[20:10] – The Collateral and the Spouse’s Role The weight of the "Personal Guarantee." Toni discusses signing for the loan with her husband, putting their home and investments on the line, and the emotional pressure of having a partner who fully believes in your vision.[22:00] – The Insurance Quadrant: Four Pillars of Protection Lenders won't release funds without these. Toni details the four types of insurance she had to secure:[26:40] – The First 90 Days: Managing Runway Cash Toni shares the "rollercoaster" of the first few months. She explains the reality of opening $7,000 shy of paying the bills due to "insurance lag" and why having at least two months of "runway cash" ($45k–$75k) is critical for survival.[31:15] – Building the "Dream Team"

Beyond the Blueprint: From Day One to 2026

Ashley Joves — Tue, 30 Dec 2025 06:00:00 -0500

"Thank you for tuning in to the very last episode of The Making of Podcast 2025. I can't believe we're here! We are doing a rewind this week, going back to Episode 2 with Dr. Ashley Joves and Michael Arias.

There has been so much going on behind the scenes. From Dr. Toni Torres’ daughter’s 5th birthday to Ashley and Brian’s anniversary. It was also my birthday yesterday! I’ve been hosting eight Australians in my house for the last week (my husband’s family from down under), so life has been crazy.

I’ve been thinking a lot about our talk last week regarding finding your 'Why.' For me, I like to set 2026 intentions. I like to audit what happened in 2025—identifying what filled my cup and what drained me—so I can minimize the noise and prioritize what matters. I want to build a life I don’t necessarily need a vacation from.

We’re entrepreneurs; we grind. But I hope you find joy in that grind by setting boundaries. I also believe in finding tangible ways to reach your goals. Years ago, I wanted to get healthy for my kids, so I invested in a Peloton. That one small step—removing the friction of going to a gym—launched me into becoming healthier.

Surround yourself at tables with people doing the things you want to do. This community is a huge pool of those people for me. Don’t let the negativity in; look for the people who fill your cup."

The 2026 Tangible:

Identify the Drains vs. Fills: What pulled you away from your mission in 2025? What gave you energy?
Remove Friction: What is your 'Peloton'? Find the one tool or change that makes your goal easier to start.
Audit Your Table: Surround yourself with builders and cut out the negativity.
Intentional Priority: Prioritize your mental health over the 'day-to-day BS.'

Highlights from this Episode:

Networking: Connecting with the Folsom Chamber of Commerce to build community roots.
The Build: Moving through trenching, framing, and the vision for frosted glass walls.
The Reality Check: An impromptu call from Ashley’s contractor, Dave, as they navigate on-site hurdles.
The Cost of Design: Managing the expensive reality of hiding wires and piping in a high-design space.
Construction Errors: Dealing with the frustration of incorrect wall placements and late-stage changes.
Budget Hacks: Creative solutions, including using IKEA cabinets for the build-out.

Coming in 2026...

Next week, we kick off the year with a brand-new episode featuring Dr. Toni Torres of Bloom Dental Co. We’re going deep into her lease and the tiny details of her 'Day One.' Happy New Year—let's get after it!

The Pivot: Finding Your "Why" & The Origin of Smile & Co. (Rewind)

Ashley Joves — Tue, 23 Dec 2025 06:00:00 -0500

????️ The Pivot: Finding Your "Why" & The Origin of Smile & Co. (Rewind)

"We are not promised tomorrow, so don't get stuck in the day-to-day stupid stuff. Go for your dreams."

In the spirit of our favorite word here at The Making Of—PIVOT—Collin takes the mic for a solo intro to reflect on an emotional and transformative 2025. Between the rush of the holidays and the heavy reality of personal loss and health battles within our circle, this year has forced us all to pause and ask the big question: What is your "Why"?

In this episode, Collin shares a vulnerable update on why this community means so much to her and why it’s vital to set intentions before 2026 arrives. Then, we are taking it back to the very beginning. We are re-releasing Dr. Ashley Joves’ very first interview with Michael Arias of The Dental Marketer Podcast. Hear the raw, early story of the Smile & Co. build-out—a reminder that every expert was once a beginner.

In this episode, we cover:

The Reality of 2025: Collin opens up about a year riddled with family loss and health scares, and how those moments shift your perspective.
The Power of Community: why the heart of The Making Of isn't clinical—it’s the retreats, the connections, and the like-minded "go-getters" who have each other's backs.
The Origin Story: A look back at Ashley’s first startup journey—the construction, the fears, and the vision before Smile & Co. was a reality.
Setting Intentions: Why we need to evaluate our "Why" before 2026 kicks off to stay focused on what actually matters.

Quotes from the Intro:

"I’ve been doing this for a very long time. But the thing I love most about being in dental is not clinical. I love this community." — Collin"Evaluate your why... it can get so easy to get caught up in the runaround and lose focus. Remind yourself what matters before 2026 starts."

Key Takeaways• Nobody feels ready—start anyway and lean on community.• For a 1-doc/1-assistant startup: 3 equipped ops is ideal (2 is doable but tight).• Have your assistant review sterile/op flow BEFORE cabinets are cut.• Mix custom cabinets where it matters (ops/sterile/front) + Amazon storage to save thousands.• If your sign goes up early, add a bold “NOW OPEN” banner so people know you’re live.• Insurance narratives are a game—one word can trigger a denial and delay cash flow.???? Toni’s Question to the Audience

How are you marketing clear aligners and Botox/facial aesthetics without overwhelming patients? (forms, promos, signage, scripts—what works?)
Do you have “winning” insurance narrative templates/keywords to reduce denials?

"Deck the Halls, Declutter the Business" - The Hard Truths

Ashley Joves — Tue, 02 Dec 2025 05:00:00 -0500

In this festive and refreshingly honest episode of The Making Of Podcast, Dr. Ashley and Collin take a step back from startup playbooks to talk life, business, and the chaos in between. What starts as a lighthearted holiday check-in quickly turns into an episode full of laughter, vulnerability, and lessons for every practice owner—especially as the year winds down.

From decluttering your closets to decluttering your team, Ashley and Collin cover what it really looks like to simplify, to set boundaries, and to stay focused on what matters most. Whether you’re running a lean startup team or managing the emotional weight of leadership, this episode is for you.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

00:00 – Kicking off with a “This or That” 14:00 – Minimalism, Materialism, and the Bonus Room Dilemma 20:00 – Decluttering the Home…and the Office 25:00 – How Letting Go Can Be a Business Strategy 28:00 – Why You Need to Show Up Before Your Practice Opens 34:00 – Ashley’s OG grassroots marketing 39:00 – Creating a VIP Patient List Before Your Startup Launches 42:00 – Why In-Person Visibility Still Matters 46:00 – Building Practice Culture Without Losing Yourself 52:00 – Navigating Team Transitions Without Guilt 57:00 – “Give yourself permission to be brutal in business” 1:02:00 – Boundaries, Burnout, and Letting Go of the Fairytale 1:08:00 – People are replaceable—but your business isn’t 1:12:00 – Personality tests, People Analyzers, and Leadership Books Worth Reading

Quote of the Episode: “You have to give yourself permission to be brutal in business. That doesn’t mean you’re not a good person. It just means you’re the owner. And nobody else is going to lose sleep over this like you will.”

Ashley’s Reflection: This episode is full of the things we don’t talk about enough—team transitions, misplaced loyalty, letting go, boundaries, leadership decisions, and the reality that not every relationship in business lasts forever. If you’re wrestling with any of that right now, let this episode remind you: you’re not alone.

Ask to the Audience: What are the unspoken truths of practice ownership that you wish more people talked about? Drop them in the comments—we’re all ears.

When the Unthinkable Happens: A Story of Early Detection, Advocacy, and Love

Ashley Joves — Tue, 26 Aug 2025 20:00:00 -0400

In this deeply personal episode, Dr. Ashley Joves is joined by her husband, Dr. Brian Joves, just six days after his surgery for oral squamous cell carcinoma. Together, they share the emotional rollercoaster of the past month—from Ashley’s gut instinct and relentless advocacy to the medical whirlwind that followed.

Brian bravely walks listeners through his diagnosis, surgery, and the critical importance of early detection, while Ashley reflects on the weight of being a caregiver, mother, and dental professional during the most frightening chapter of their lives.

This is more than a cancer story. It’s a lesson in listening to your instincts, advocating fiercely, loving deeply, and the strength of community when everything feels uncertain.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

How a dentist’s eye and a wife’s intuition saved a life
The emotional toll and resilience required during a health crisis
Why oral cancer screenings matter—every patient, every time
How vulnerability can deepen connection and unlock purpose
The importance of being your own advocate in a system that doesn't always move fast enough
The value of community in medicine and entrepreneurship

Notable Quotes:

"You have to be your own advocate. I don’t care who you are or how you think the system works—sometimes it doesn’t work for you." – Dr. Ashley Joves"You can do all the right things… and still get cancer. That’s why we have to screen. Every patient. Every time." – Dr. Brian Joves"Fear is not a stop sign—it’s an invitation to act." – Dr. Ashley Joves

A Personal Note from Ashley & Brian:

To our incredible community—thank you. Your messages, prayers, and support have carried us through the hardest month of our lives. We hope this episode empowers you to listen to your gut, screen with intention, and hold your loved ones close.

The Hardest Episode I’ve Ever Had to Share

Ashley Joves — Sun, 17 Aug 2025 20:00:00 -0400

‍

It’s the call you never expect: a loved one’s routine complaint turns your world upside down.

In this raw, emotional episode, Dr. Ashley Joves invites you into her family’s recent journey: a journey that began with her husband Brian’s returning tongue pain and unraveled into weeks filled with anxiety, countless medical appointments, and a heart-stopping cancer scare. As a dentist, Ashley never imagined the warning signs could hide in her own home, or that she’d be racing to get her own husband the care he needed, all while grappling with layers of fear and hope.

Dr. Joves shares the rollercoaster of emotions she and Brian faced as they navigated initial diagnoses, uncertain biopsy results, and the lingering possibility of cancer. Leaning on their faith, a generous circle of friends, and her colleagues in the dental and medical fields, she opens up about the power of community, the agony of waiting, and the critical importance of vigilance when it comes to oral health. Her poignant story is both a cautionary tale and a rallying cry: prioritize preventative screenings, never ignore the subtle signs, and hold your loved ones close. Through it all, Ashley’s voice rings with gratitude, hope, and a deep reminder that none of us are alone in our darkest moments.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

The importance of early oral cancer screenings (even for those with no risk factors)
How to recognize warning signs that may otherwise go unnoticed
The emotional reality of supporting a loved one through a health scare
Why trusting your instincts matters, even when initial results seem reassuring
The value of advocating for timely medical attention and second opinions
Ways to lean on faith, friends, and professional networks during crisis
The impact of gratitude and vulnerability in times of uncertainty

Let this story be your reminder to regularly screen your loved ones for oral health and lean on your community in times of need.

The Making of Retreat; Speaker Intro with Dr. Kyle Stanley

Ashley Joves — Sun, 10 Sep 2023 20:00:00 -0400

‍The Retreat 2023 is coming this November! Dr. Ashley would like you to get to know our speakers. Allow us to introduce Dr. Kyle Stanley!

Dr. Kyle Stanley, an international speaker and prominent figure in dentistry, has shifted his focus to addressing critical topics related to mental health, burnout, depression, and anxiety among dental professionals. He was once at the pinnacle of his clinical career but experienced extreme stress, even considering quitting dentistry. However, he embarked on a journey of self-discovery and explored positive psychology and the psychology of overachievers, which led him to prioritize his mental well-being.

Dr. Stanley founded the Light Side Academy in response to the need for mental health support within the dental profession. The academy offers an online course, bi-monthly support groups, Mastermind groups, and live courses, aiming to help dental professionals with their mental and relational health.

In an upcoming event called "The Retreat," Dr. Stanley will be a keynote speaker, addressing various misconceptions in dentistry and the importance of leadership. He emphasizes the need for dentists to appreciate and support their employees better. The event promises a deep and meaningful discussion on these crucial issues, and it's an opportunity for attendees to connect with like-minded colleagues.

If you love the show, please like, share, and leave reviews for the podcast, as Ashley and Brian continue to share their unique insights and experiences with the dental community. Stay tuned for more episodes of "The Making of Smile & Co" as they navigate the world of dentistry with passion, resilience, and authenticity.

The Stories Behind the Smiles with Dr. Andi-Jean Miro

Ashley Joves — Sat, 26 Aug 2023 20:00:00 -0400

‍

Welcome, welcome, welcome, my lovelies! Buckle up, because this episode is a true treat for all of us. We've got none other than the amazing Dr. Andi-Jean Miro gracing us with her presence. If you've somehow missed the magic of Dr. Miro's work, you've probably been living under a rock! Trust me, she's a cosmetic genius who's setting the aesthetics world on fire.

Highlights:

Dr. Miro's awe-inspiring attention to detail in her photography and cosmetic cases.

The incredible legacy she's carving out after starting with Drs. Larry Rosenthal and Michael Apa, and the inspiring story of how she's blazing her own trail and making her mark in the industry.
Picture this: Dr. Andi-Jean Miro and I having an absolute blast, delving into her journey, her inspirations, and her challenges. We reminisce about our Insta-connection and our first meeting at an event. And guess what? I've had a secret girl crush on her for ages! (Oops, the secret's out now.)
Dr. Miro shares some deeply personal moments of loss—her mother, her brother, a close friend. It's truly humbling to see how she's channeled her strength into her journey. She's the epitome of resilience, and it's a reminder that behind every smile, there's often an untold story.
We chat about how Dr. Miro handles her patients' sky-high expectations. We've all been there, right? Those patients with mechanical pencils, sketching their dream smiles on paper. Dr. Miro's insights on patient consultations and setting the stage for success are pure gold.
Dr. Miro drops knowledge bombs on effective communication. From prepping patients for possible outcomes to nurturing mutual understanding, her approach is like a symphony of smiles. It's all about creating a harmonious journey from the very beginning.

As many of you may know, Dr. Miro is going to be one of the keynote speakers at the upcomine The Making of a Dental Startup Retreat in Novemeber. Dr. Miro and I are excited about the upcoming retreat—where real talk, real emotions, and real connections thrive. It's a safe space to share, reflect, and support each other. Can't wait for you to join us!

Thank you all for listening and watching this episode with Dr. Andi-Jean Miro is a symphony of authenticity and inspiration. Remember, we're all on unique journeys, and sometimes, the most dazzling smiles come from the deepest battles. Stay strong, keep smiling, and catch you in the next episode of "The Making Of" and "Little Black Dress Pod"!

[TRANSCRIPT]

‍

Michael: What's up Naomi? How's it going? Good. How are you doing? Doing pretty good. T today a snowstorm. Snowstorm hit you, right?

Naomi: Yeah, unfortunately, supposedly the biggest one, New York has gotten ak. The only one New York has gotten. Are you serious? Yeah. That's the first snowstorm in the area, basically.

It's crazy. It's like in March.

Michael: Was it, was it like a legit one or were you like, uh,

Naomi: I feel like they were making it out to be like something really bad. Um mm-hmm. . I mean, it definitely snowed and there was freezing rain last night, but it was like all the schools canceled. Everyone was two hour breaks.

Businesses were closing and then we drove, or like we came in by train just so we didn't have to deal with the highway, and it's totally fine. ,

Michael: is it real? So there's nothing No. Is it, has

Naomi: it passed? Uh, yeah. It's not even snowing. Like The snow has stayed and it's definitely there and it's like slushy icy status.

now, but. Nothing wild like New York, it was fine. I don't think Connecticut knows what a snowplow is, but that's all good. Does the snow in Connecticut? No, it definitely does. It's just like the roads here are way worse off than New York roads.

Michael: Oh, I get you. I get you. You don't, they don't, they don't know how to like, to plow in people get, just get stuck.

Gotcha. You. That makes sense. Yeah. So has that set you back today or what has it done?

Naomi: Yeah, um, I had four or five patients on like the calendar today. And three of 'em canceled, yesterday just because of like the snowstorm and snow days and they were gonna have to be home with the kids, blah, blah, blah.

And then we had, I had an op this morning, like a nitrous op and then her brother was gonna be getting a new patient exam and we kept trying to contact them to see if they wanted to reschedule, but she was insistent on coming in, so we opened up the office to be able to see them.

Michael: Were you trying to reschedule people today

Naomi: or.

I mean, I was just asking them, I didn't wanna force the appointment or anything. I know some people just don't feel comfortable driving in snow and mm-hmm. right now. My schedule has a lot of flexibility in open spots, so I didn't mind like being like, Hey, if you're not comfortable, I totally get it.

Yeah.

Michael: So then were they all able to reschedule or were they like, oh, I'll get it back to you, or,

Naomi: um, one of them's getting back to me, she tends to only come here because right across the hall is like that pediatric therapy group. Mm-hmm. and their therapist is supposed to come in on my dental visit with him, so she has to re coordinate that whole thing.

And then the other one is my cousin and her kids . So you better come, we rescheduled her. I was like, you better be coming. Yeah. Yeah. And then the other ones were just the op and the sibling and they definitely came and it was actually good because I got to spend more time with them and. . It was like easier for sure, and I, it turned out to be a good visit, so it's all good.

Now. I'm just here doing admin work.

Michael: Oh, that's good. How long is normally like that new patient or that patient visitation that just happened?

Naomi: I mean, I think if it was like recalls and then more frequently, I wouldn't say it would be take more than 20 minutes, but just because you're trying to get to know the families, you're talking, you're trying to understand what they're coming from.

I would say it takes 30 to 40 minutes and I did some like same day like sealants and all that stuff on him, so.

Michael: Hmm. Yeah. Are you asking for like reviews and referrals already or No.

Naomi: So the mom today, she on her own says she's gonna refer a family friend to us, which was like really sweet. But like I'm starting to ask Beatrice to.

say at the front like, Hey, if you had a great experience, which it sounds like you did, we really love a review, I'll be happy to send you a link once you're home. so we're starting that dialogue here. Mm-hmm. , no one has done it like in our face quite yet. And then 24 hours after the appointment we always send like a follow-up text Hey, we're hoping blah, blah, blah.

Did. Well as you know, we're a brand new business and readings and reviews mean a lot to us. if you enjoyed your experience, we'd love to hear about it and here's a link. Gotcha. So you're doing that now? Yeah. Yeah. We started like those texts. So I have to work with Casper on like if it can be automatic because right now Yeah.

I'm the one that's going in 24 hours after the appointment and sending that text

Michael: message manually all the time.

Naomi: Yeah. Right now. But I think there has to be a way to do it through Casper. Yeah, I was

Michael: gonna say there has to be. Yeah. I would assume,

Naomi: I dunno, they're very good at automation, so

Michael: that's good.

That's good. So far out of all the, I guess, software that you have, has any of 'em been like, I didn't really need this, or, eh, I expected more from you or kind of thing or No?

Naomi: Mm-hmm. , Casper truthfully has been like my, I don't wanna call it saving grace, but I think it's the one that's like showing like a lot of great feedback.

Beatrice, my front desk slash assistant, she loves it. she loves the patient communication, like she loves, like the ease of being able to see everything. the forms are something I'm just still trying to get a little bit more used to, but everything has been like really seamless so far in terms of like, at least the communication side, being able to do whatever I want.

And so I'm, I'm extremely happy, but I love the fact that I don't have like Mango Flex. I don't know what else. Swell.

Michael: I dunno what's like in those Ed Dental, all

Naomi: that stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Next health, whatever. I'm very happy and as a minimalist myself, I just really appreciate it's a one all be all and one program.

I don't have to like contact all these different people. it's just there. And what's also great on Casper, if none of you guys have like ever demoed it, they have like a little chat button, like on the main desktop page itself. So it's kind of nice that while I'm dealing with an issue or a...

Increasing Patient Value and Decreasing Practice Liability with Vanessa Vitagliano

Ashley Joves — Tue, 17 Jan 2023 19:00:00 -0500

Dr. Ashley and Vanessa talk about the liabilities and making sure you're covered (and so is your patient)!

‍

Dental Warranty partners with practices to provide a 6 year, no-fault, nationwide Protection Plan on dental treatment. If a "life happens" moment occurs, the patient can come back into the practice, get the treatment they need at no cost, and Dental Warranty will compensate the practice for the treatment. And in order to keep the Protection Plan active, patients are required to come into the practice for their routine hygiene.

‍

It creates a win-win for the practice and patient. Want to learn more? Schedule a demo here: https://go.dentalwarrantycorp.com/themakingof

We chat about pursuing your passion and ALL of the highs and lows that go into that (and it gets REAL). She's also just a truly hilarious human, so we get a liiiiittle cray(cue incessant giggling)!

We may also go on a side tangent about our favorite 90s sitcoms, but that's neither here nor there...sit back, relax, and enjoy this super real and hopefully encouraging and enlightening chat between two gals in the making!
