In this episode, we’re joined by Kevin Fryer, co-host of the Very Clinical Podcast and longtime Cleveland Browns fan, to share a surprising milestone—after 35 years in dentistry and at age 61, Kevin took his first-ever two-week consecutive vacation. We explore why it took so long, the fears and challenges of hiring an associate, and how he built a practice that allowed him to step away. Kevin opens up about the mindset shifts, logistical hurdles, and benefits of prioritizing rest and work-life balance. His story is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to design a career that works for you.
