AADOM Radio is built for the working dental office manager who has to lead people, protect the practice, and keep patients moving through the day. It is conversational, but its center is practical management. Recent episodes spend a lot of time on culture. Guests talk about open-door leadership, transparent practices, and the daily work of navigating personalities inside a dental team. The show also makes room for the personal side of management. A manager may be supporting a team member after a hard phone call, smoothing a patient experience, and keeping the schedule intact all at once. That human texture matters here. The Member Stories episodes add a peer-learning layer, with Lisa Young and Lisa Smith, FAADOM describing confidence, conferences, forums, community, and the long-term value of manager relationships. Those stories are not abstract testimonials; they are grounded in offices, vendors, learning opportunities, and practices trying to move in a positive direction. The partner and expert-style episodes are more tactical. Paul Edwards talks through the danger of using AI for HR answers when wage, hour, and employee disputes are involved. Mariah Ochoa focuses on slowing down before making promises in sensitive situations such as maternity leave requests. Brighton Neal speaks to hiring and retaining right-fit associates, a staffing concern that lands directly on managers and owners. Dr. Victoria Farr brings the dentist perspective into a conversation about culture as strategy and the office manager-practice owner connection. Across the feed, AADOM Radio treats dental management as a leadership craft, not just administrative work. It suits listeners who want practical language for hard conversations, examples from other offices, and a stronger sense of how the AADOM community shares knowledge.
Made for: Dental office managers and dental business professionals who handle staffing, culture, HR questions, vendor relationships, and practice-owner communication. It also suits dentists and team members who want to understand the management side of a dental practice.
What sets it apart: The show combines peer member stories with practical conversations from dental business guests, so the advice is tied to real office situations rather than generic management theory. Its strongest lane is the overlap between culture, compliance, staffing, and community support.
