His best friend since the age of two asked him for one favor.

"Help me open a dental practice."

Before that call, Emmet Scott had spent ten years in financial planning, watching entrepreneurs bring him money to invest instead of putting it back into their own businesses. He was hosting a radio show in Vegas called The Entrepreneur Life and doing consulting work that had nothing to do with dentistry.

But when his best friend called, he said yes.

Together, they co-founded Community Dental Partners and had a thousand patients in the first three weeks.🔥

A second location followed. Then a third. Somewhere in the middle of all that growth, someone told Emmet that DSOs were "really evil" and that they might be doing something wrong.

Instead of backing away, he dug in.💡

What he found wasn't a villain. It was culture and structure. So he started a podcast called DSO Secrets to document everything he was learning, interviewing leaders and operators across the industry, and trying to make the business of dentistry less of a black box.

Fast forward.

🎙️ That podcast is now the DEO Growth Secrets Podcast, with 200+ episodes.
📚 He wrote and published DSO Secrets: The Ultimate Guide to Building Your Dental Empire, hitting #1 on Amazon in three categories within three days of release.
🤝 He served as President of the ADSO from 2020 to 2023, leading dentistry through one of the most turbulent chapters in history.
🏆 Community Dental Partners grew to 70 locations and $150 million in revenue before he exited.🙌

When Jake Puhl asked him to step in as CEO of the DEO, one question guided his answer.

"I thought about what I would want if I was back where all of these guys are now."💬

That question shaped everything he has built at the DEO.

Coaches who are ahead of you. Fractional leaders you can actually plug in. Access to the kind of talent that used to only live inside the biggest organizations in dentistry.

Today the DEO coaches 600+ owners and 2,500+ practices every week with a team of 45+ coaches (and counting!).

Emmet leads the DEO as CEO and Head Coach. And we are beyond grateful to have him at the helm.🚀

A busy practice and a valuable practice are not the same thing.

What buyers actually pay for isn't just your production numbers. It's your team, your systems, and how well the practice runs without you in the room.

The owners who exit with the highest multiples started building toward that long before they ever thought about selling.

That's what Brannon Moncrief and the team at McLerran & Associates Practice Transitions are bringing to Austin this October. Joined by DEO's own Emmet Scott, the M&A Summit is two days built for growth-minded practice owners who are serious about maximizing what they've built.

You'll leave knowing:
💡What actually drives your practice's valuation and what's quietly holding it back
📊How every exit path compares, side by side
🔍What buyers are actually paying for in today's market
🚀How to build with purpose so your practice commands the best multiple when you're ready

Photo dump incoming 📸

Graduation season is one of our favorite times of the year, because it means the people we work alongside every single day get to celebrate someone they love.🎓

Our team members and coaches pour everything into this community...and behind each of them is a family that has poured just as much into them.

This season, some of those family members are walking across a stage, accepting a diploma, and stepping into the next chapter of their lives.

Every late night, every early morning, every hard day they pushed through...it was all leading to this moment.🙌

To every graduate connected to our team and coaches: we are so proud of you, we are cheering you on, and we wish you nothing but continued success in everything ahead.✨

Congratulations to the Class of 2026! 🎉🚀

What if the move that doubles your revenue isn't opening a second location...it's adding a second doctor to the one you already have? 💰

Emmett Scott sits down with Dr. Brett Wells, CEO of Loren Dental Partners, who built nine locations — eight of them de novo startups — to share the growth decisions that actually worked and the expensive ones that didn't.

🎧 Listen NOW: https://hubs.ly/Q04jnGFs0

Here's what you'll take away from this episode 👇

💸Why grinding it out solo for years cost Brett a fortune...and the one move that finally changed everything
📈How one decision took a single practice from $2M to $6M a year
💰 Why two doctors in one location will always out-earn two separate practices
🔥What a half-million dollar hot dog restaurant taught him about equity and ownership
📣The communication rule he now swears by as a leader

What would a 20%, 50%, or even 100% increase in profit mean for your practice?

Not revenue. Profit.

Most dental owners we talk to are producing more than ever — and still feel like they're not keeping enough of what they earn. Collections are leaking. The P&L is a guessing game.

That's what we're fixing at the Bottom Line Boot Camp on July 24th.

This is a free, live virtual event for dental practice owners who are ready to stop reacting to their numbers and start controlling them.

Here's what you'll walk away with:
✓ A framework for building compensation and pay bands at every level of your team
✓ A tighter collections process so more of what you produce actually lands in your bank account
✓ A real case study: how one practice went from $4M to $8M in 24 months — without adding a single location
✓ Why the biggest opportunity in dentistry is still ahead — and how the practices that adapt now will dominate the next decade

Think about the last time your front desk got slammed.

Three patients checking out. Two on hold. Someone walking in the door.

And somewhere in that chaos, a new patient called to book an appointment... and nobody picked up.

They didn't leave a voicemail. They called the next practice on Google.

This is happening every single day...and most owners have no idea how much it's actually costing them.📞

That's exactly why we brought Arini into the DEO community.

Arini is an AI phone assistant built specifically for dental practices. It answers every call — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — collects patient information, handles insurance questions, and books directly into your schedule without adding a single person to your payroll.

Here's what DEO members are actually seeing:🙌

Kare Mobile booked over $56,000 in new patient appointments in their very first month.

Complete Dental Group booked 160 new appointments and confirmed 103 existing ones — in a single month.

Normandy Lake Dentistry hit a 90% call answer rate while giving patients access 24/7.

7 Days Family Dental says Arini is more reliable than their previous human call center.📈

The front desk team you have can only do so much. Arini covers the rest.🤝

🥇 That's why we're proud to recognize Arini as a Gold Partner.

We're grateful for Arini's partnership and the real impact they're having on member practices — more calls answered, more appointments booked, and more revenue that stays in the business where it belongs.🚀
