A sought-after speaker in the dental profession, Dr. Augustyn is known for her unapologetic authenticity and fearless approach to addressing topics others shy away from. Dr. Augustyn is known for getting vulnerable, having shared her story of transforming a $100 operating budget into generational wealth using PDA’s Investment Grade Practices framework.
“We could not be more excited to welcome Maggie to the Everyday Practices Dental Podcast team,” says EPDP co-host and PDA chief communications officer Regan Robertson. “Healthcare is a demanding and challenging profession where appearing perfect can stifle real growth and satisfaction. Her story is not only inspiring but also proof that vulnerability and determination can create extraordinary success. Her voice brings a unique dynamic to the podcast, one that will empower listeners to face their own challenges head-on.”
Dr. Augustyn’s journey with PDA began as a client seeking guidance to optimize her practice. Today, she stands as a testament to PDA’s mission to help independent dentists thrive and live the life they deserve.
“When I first encountered PDA, I was a dentist with a dream but unsure how to turn it into reality,” says Dr. Augustyn. “Through their guidance, I’ve built not just a thriving dental practice but a legacy. I’m honored to join Dr. Chad and Regan in sparking conversations that inspire others to embrace their truths and take bold steps toward their dreams.”
Listeners can expect Dr. Augustyn to infuse each episode with candid discussions on personal and professional growth, covering topics like mental health, leadership, and navigating the pressures of dentistry. In addition to the regular Everyday Practices Dental Podcast episodes airing every Wednesday, Dr. Maggie, Dr. Chad, and Regan will host Everyday Practices Dental Podcast: After Hours. These special episodes will dive into taboo topics often avoided in the dental field, offering unfiltered, honest conversations about challenges like mental health, burnout, and the complexities of balancing personal and professional lives. After Hours promises to create a safe space for listeners to explore the realities of dentistry that aren’t always openly discussed.
“Having Maggie join Everyday Practices Dental Podcast is a game-changer,” says Dr. Chad Johnson. “She’s not just a skilled clinician and successful entrepreneur; she’s a storyteller with the ability to connect on a deeply human level. Maggie has this amazing ability to bring light to the unspoken struggles we all face and transform them into opportunities for growth. That’s just one reason why we’re excited to begin the After Hours series of podcasts.”
Everyday Practices Dental Podcast explores what it means to run a dental practice that aligns with personal values while achieving professional excellence. With Dr. Augustyn joining the team, the podcast continues its tradition of delivering relatable stories and practical advice that resonate with dentists at every stage of their careers.
