The Dentalpreneur Podcast: Ambition, Adversity & Vision with JD Foltz

Описание: In this episode, Dr. Mark Costes sits down with JD Foltz, a third-year dental student at The Ohio State University and one of the most driven student leaders in the country. They dive into JD’s journey from dental injuries on the water polo field to discovering his passion for cosmetic dentistry and founding the Dental Aesthetics Club. JD opens up about finding fulfillment in clinical care, navigating dental school as a non-traditional thinker, and being addicted to the moment patients realize their smiles have changed.

Dr. Costes and JD talk deeply about the gap between dental students’ aspirations and the real business of dentistry. JD shares why so many students talk about ownership and multiple practices—but few follow through. He unpacks what real commitment looks like, how he’s built relationships with elite operators, and why showing up is the first step to separating yourself from the crowd.

They also get into legacy, vision, and why JD’s goal is to build a business that doesn't center around him—but one that creates leadership, fulfillment, and impact at all levels. From burnout-proofing your career to making intentional sacrifices in the name of long-term success, this episode is a masterclass for students, new grads, and young docs chasing purpose and potential in a crowded profession.
