First Year, First Wins: A Practice Ownership Love Story

Travis sits down with husband-and-wife duo Dr. Godoy and Dr. Gorospe to unpack their whirlwind first year as practice owners — proof that some couples build empires and still like each other afterward.

What’s covered:

  • How they found “the” practice and knew it was the one
  • The wild story of nearly backing out days before closing (cold feet is real, folks)
  • What actually changed once they took the keys — spoiler: top line, bottom line, every line grew
  • The mindset shift from associate to owner, and why it hit different for each of them
  • Balancing being two of the sweetest people you’ll meet with being straight-up hustlers when it counts
  • Real talk on the sacrifices, surprises, and lessons from year one that no dental school class prepares you for
  • Their advice for anyone eyeing a practice purchase of their own

Whether you’re weighing a practice acquisition or just want a feel-good underdog story, this one delivers. Tune in for hustle, heart, and a whole lot of hard-earned wisdom.
