What happens when a dentist, business owner, and dad of (almost) three joins forces with a recovering background troll-turned-host? Pure magic.
In this episode of Sydology 101, Sydney chats with Dr. Peter Dinh—practice owner, performance coach, and self-proclaimed future “Girl Dad”—to connect about the real stuff: balancing family, business, and your own sanity. From navigating parenthood with an internal medicine doc wife, to building a high-functioning, self-led team, Peter brings transparency, intention, and heart to the mic.
What we dive into:
How Peter and his wife intentionally designed their careers around time, not just income
Why vulnerability isn’t a weakness—it’s a superpower for team growth
How to actually build a strong team culture (hint: one team member at a time)
The role of health (especially gut health!) in leadership and showing up at 100%
A very real talk on what “collaboration” and “communication” should look like between team members and practice owners
What team members can do TODAY to grow into better leaders (yes, we said WWMD—What Would Mark Do?)
Why sharing a funny tow truck story can cause a total team shutdown—and what Sydney learned from it
Morning huddle magic, team retreats, and that one golden rule for sustainable practice success
Whether you’re a dentist, a team member, or someone trying to build something bigger than yourself, this episode brings all the insight with just the right dose of humor.
