Eric Vickery didn't plan to become a leading voice in dental practice coaching — but a rocky start as an unqualified office manager, a company collapse in 2010, and years of rebuilding from scratch forged the business (and the person) he is today.

In this episode, Eric shares the real story behind "15 years to become an overnight success": walking away from a six-figure job offer because his mentors told him his "ladder was against the right wall," surviving on $8.50 an hour while learning the ropes, and choosing to bet on himself when everything fell apart.

Eric also opens up about the power of surrounding yourself with the right people — mentors, coaches, and a spouse who pushes you to grow (his "eagles, not turkeys" philosophy) — and breaks down his framework for coaching: assess, align, action, accountability. A candid conversation about faith, resilience, and playing the long game.
