Crown Council Mentor of the Month

Jon Acuff and "Soundtracks: The Surprising Solution to Overthinking"

The Crown Council was first introduced to Jon Acuff by Crown Council member Dr. Dennis Wells who takes care of Jon’s oral health.  At the Annual Event in Nashville in 2015 where he presented to us about his book “Do Over.” 
Then 3 years later he returned to the Annual Event stage to share his presentation about his next book “Finish: Give Yourself the Gift of Done”. That is a rare feet - getting on the stage of the Annual Event twice put you into a pretty elite club.  
Now, we are on to Jon’s new book “Soundtracks” The Surprising Solution to Overthinking”  It’s already a New York Times Bestseller (after two weeks) which is an amazing accomplishment considering Jon hasn’t been doing live events because of the Corona Virus.
Jon is also a New York Time best selling author of 6 other books and if you follow Jon on Social Media you will find an inspiring blend of humor, honesty and hope.  And he is killing it in the social world with 300,000 Twitter followers, 187,000 Facebook followers and 125,000 Instagram Followers. 
Jon loves Snowbird and skiing which connects us in a very special way. Steve and I grew up shredding on the hills of Snowbird in Utah. I also learned listening to the audio version of Soundtracks that he wears his Snowbird t-shirt almost daily. Kudos. 
 
But...and this the end of the introduction as an FYI at the last Annual Event in Nashville (2020) we hosted and planned the “Gift of Music” benefit concert at the historic Ryman Auditorium. This is a concert that host in conjunction with our Annual Event whenever we go to Nashville and he not only shared the stage with Dolly Parton but introduced and opened for her - dream come true status unlocked!  
Jon has his own podcast called “All It Takes Is a Goal” that teaches many of the principles we will talk about today, but one thing that will make today special is our own special application of the “Soundtrack” principles to a dental office.  We are hoping to help you make sure your dental practice’s culture, which is a collection of agreed upon soundtracks, is setting you up for success.

Greg & Steve Anderson "How Did The Crown Council Begin?"

In 1996 a group of forward-looking dentists were searching for a group where like-minded dentists seeking continual improvement could come together. Their goal was to raise the overall standards of dentistry together by creating a culture of success personally, professionally and in their respective communities. Those dentists with the help of Steve and Greg Anderson where the beginning of the Crown Council community.The Crown Council, more than two decades, later has grown to a community of over 1,100 dental professional. Our mission is to provide an organization where dental teams can come to learn, share, grow, serve and profit by creating a successful practice culture. This is a community of “like-minded” dental teams who are continually seeking to raise the standards of dentistry and who look out for each other. This is not a passive experience. There is an expectation that you will bring your very best to the community and share it.

Dr. Guy Gross says the best part of every day is when he gets to help patients restore their smiles and their health by replacing and rebuilding teeth. “I spend most of my time placing dental implants and doing cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry, and I love what I do!” he says. “I get to work directly with patients and my team members to solve problems in an environment where I can be responsible for the way patients are cared for and served.”
Dr. Gross founded the New Horizons group of dental practices with his wife, Kathryn Gross (Kate), also a dentist. “We have a consistently amazing group of people to work with and a great culture of service, teamwork, and excellence.”

He says the dental profession has been an ideal fit for his interests and talent. "Dentistry is a wonderful hands-on health profession where I can diagnose, solve problems, and deliver solutions for my patients. It’s an amazing feeling when patients see their new smile for the first time, or experience the ability to eat their favorite foods again as the outcome of a wonderfully restored bite from dental implants."
Dr. Guy was inducted into Dental Hall of Fame in 2018. He has been teaching Dental Implant surgery courses to other dentists since 2014, in addition to teaching courses on 3D Imaging, Communication Skills, Practice Management, and more.
