3 ::: The Danger of Playing It Safe: Unleashing Your True Potential in Dentistry

In this podcast episode of Innovations in Dentistry, host Shawn Zajas discusses the concept of safety and the illusion of it. He starts by emphasizing the importance of challenging one's beliefs about their worth, capability, and potential as a visionary entrepreneur.

He describes the belief system as a seedbed in the heart, which can either be fertile or have thorns and rocks due to misinterpretations of life events. Shawn encourages listeners to acknowledge their strength, competence, and resilience, and to divorce the feeling of comfort and safety they get from external factors.

He emphasizes that the safest place to be is in the center of one's identity, and it is important to be true to oneself and embrace the wild. Shawn challenges listeners to stop playing it safe and enter the wild, to be pioneers in their field and to not be afraid of discomfort and uncertainty.

Zajas invites listeners to reach out to him if they need practical help with entrepreneurship. The podcast concludes with an invitation to step up and step out of the boat, and to enter the wild where fulfillment and success lie.
