Did you know that Spaugh Dameron Tenny has a podcast? Launched in August of 2019, the Prosperous Doc® podcast is for doctors ready to improve their overall wellness in every aspect of life. Each episode highlights real-life stories from physicians and dentists to inspire you to become a prosperous doc yourself and achieve personal, professional, and financial wellness.
Each guest has their own unique story. Some of the stories are about success and triumph or finding ways to help and support colleagues, patients, or the community, and others are about struggles and self-awareness and coming out the other side. Still, all the stories include opportunities for others to learn.
Some of our most recent episodes covered topics such as the importance of community health and school-based models, carving out a path of happiness and success in dentistry, building trusted doctor-patient relationships, rethinking burnout, and why it is essential to address at the organization level, a physician’s path into venture capitalism, and the role compassion, empathy, and emotional agility play in bridging the doctor-patient gap.
If you are interested in listening and learning, we encourage you to start with our most popular episodes of 2021.

Healthcare attorney and practice consultant Anu Murthy discusses how to get the most out of a contract negotiation (particularly with the help of a healthcare attorney) and how to legally pick up a side hustle if the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted your pay. Just like small business owners, she says it’s important for physicians to keep track of their expenses and take-home pay.
Doug Copple understands the challenges of running a dental or orthodontist practice despite not being a doctor himself.
