If you could earn another £100k this year, would your mindset actually let you keep it or would you spend your way back to where you started? That is the uncomfortable question at the heart of our chat with returning guest Tom Fortes-Mayer, a coach and former therapist who works with entrepreneurs and dentists on success psychology, beliefs, and what it takes to genuinely enjoy the life you are building.

We dig into “living in alignment with wealth”: acting like the person who can hold money, responsibility, and opportunity without becoming tense, needy, or transactional. We unpack how a scarcity mindset leaks out in rooms full of successful people, why it quietly repels collaborations, and how inner security matters more than the number in your bank account. Tom shares a memorable way to think about it: being “waterproof” under pressure, so your nervous system stays steady and your decisions stay clean.

From there we get practical. We talk integrity and generosity as wealth behaviours you can practise now, how abundance is about flow and circulation, and why giving value through content (without expecting instant return) is a real-world abundance strategy. Tom also lays out tools he used in therapy: increasing inner peace, clearing fear and old resentment, and building a step-by-step plan to stretch your comfort zone so you stop being controlled by fear. We even touch on deal-making mindset and examples like Undercover Billionaire as proof of what’s possible when you think bigger.

If you have ever looked at a strong income and still wondered why money feels tight, you are not alone and you are not broken. We sit down with Dr Andy Egwim GP and founder of Money Wise Doctor, to unpack how clinicians can turn earnings into lasting wealth through financial literacy, tax efficiency, and a system that actually gets executed. Andy shares the real story behind reaching financial independence, why he still keeps a small hand in clinical work, and what “time freedom” looks like when it is earned rather than fantasised about. 

We get practical on the UK personal finance essentials that move the needle: understanding the UK tax system, using tax efficient investing wrappers like ISAs and SIPPs, and claiming allowable professional expenses so you stop donating money to HMRC by accident. Then we break down Andy’s favourite framework, AMAS (Automated Monthly Allocated Saving System), which replaces fragile budgeting with automation. Whether you are paying off high interest debt, building a proper emergency fund, or investing for compounding growth, the goal is the same: make saving and investing happen in the background. 

We also tackle the debate that never dies: mortgage vs investing. Andy explains why the type of debt matters, why a 35% credit card balance is not comparable to a low rate mortgage, and how risk tolerance and sleep-at-night peace of mind should influence your plan. We round out with values-based spending, lifestyle creep, and a Profit First style approach to paying yourself properly if you run a practice or a side business.

Dental indemnity is one of the biggest essentials in UK dentistry, yet the way it is priced and the way decisions get made behind the scenes can feel deliberately hard to follow. We sit down with Tom, a dental indemnity specialist at AllMed Pro, to lay out how the system really works so we can stop guessing, stop overpaying and start buying the right protection with our eyes open. 

We dig into why indemnity premiums rise, looking at claims patterns, claims frequency and the true cost of a case, including legal fees, defence costs and expert witness reports. Then we get practical about risk rating: how extra sessions and higher-risk procedures can change the premium, why implant work needs a more detailed conversation than a simple tick-box, and how declaring your work accurately can prevent unnecessary price hikes later. 

We also myth-bust the hot topics dentists debate online: what discretionary cover actually means at the moment you need help, what insurance-backed (contract certain) cover changes, and why non-disclosure is one of the few things that can derail support. For principals, we unpack vicarious liability and non-delegable duty of care, plus how structuring the right policy for your practice entity can make a real difference when a claim arrives.

Buying a dental practice can feel like the finish line, until you realise it is the start of a much harder game: building a team, shaping culture, and turning turnover into real profit. We sit down with Kaival Patel, founder of Kana Health Group in Milton Keynes and Bedford, to unpack the honest story behind growth, including a deal that collapsed right before his wedding, the persistence that led to the first successful acquisition, and the messy learning curve that followed.

We get into what many UK dentists experience but rarely say out loud: it is possible to earn less as a principal than you did as an associate, even while the practice grosses more. Kaival explains how defining a clear North Star changed everything, from the people they hired to the energy in the building, and how COVID created the space to finally understand the numbers. We talk break-even points per surgery per day, using management accounts, stress testing loans against interest rate rises, and spotting cost outliers that signal either risk or upside.

From there, the conversation widens into scalable strategy: building a hub and spoke referral model, adding higher-end dentistry in a way that fits the business, and creating the Kana Dental Academy so clinicians can access structured training without travelling to London or Manchester. We also go practical on dental marketing, from community trust and practice personality on social media to Google PPC, and why you must track ROI so you know what is actually working.

The biggest mistake we see dentists make when selling a dental practice is starting with the wrong target. If your first question is “What’s my practice worth?”, you can end up chasing a headline number that keeps you in clinic for years longer than you need, or worse, nudges you into a deal that does not actually support your life. We take a step back and start where exit planning should start: what you need, what you value, and what “enough” looks like for you and your family.

We break the process into three clear numbers. Your lifestyle number is the foundation for financial independence for dentists: essentials, discretionary spending, family support, and a resilience buffer, plus one-off milestones that need to be costed and timed. Then we move into the legacy number and the realities of inheritance tax planning, including the “cliff edge” that practice owners face when business relief falls away and sale proceeds become cash sitting inside your estate.

From there, we show how to calculate your exit number by reverse engineering the gap after pensions (including the NHS pension and SIPPs), investments, and property are factored in. We also cover the tax layers that shape a dental practice sale, including capital gains tax, business asset disposal relief (BADR), structuring considerations, and why upcoming pension rule changes can create a painful double-tax outcome if you ignore them.
