So, if I learned that sooner, I think live in a better place. [Erika from Team Protrusive]Hi guys! This is Erika from Team Protrusive. Jaz is sick with man flu and Ishaan has chickenpox. Please enjoy this episode from the Ultimate Dentist Podcast with our friend, Dr. Devang Patel. And we will be back next week for a protrusive episode. Enjoy! [Dev] Main EpisodeHi, everyone! So today we have famous Jaz Gulati with us. He is actually my mentor. When it comes to doing podcasting, and learning other skills. I've learned a lot from his SplintCourse. And I would like Jaz to elaborate on that as well. But Jaz, there are very few people who doesn't know you, could you please just introduce yourself as to who you are, what you do, and you know how you divide your time? [Jaz]I'm a guy who's wearing his scrubs in his conservatory holding a Thano's mug. That's who I am. Dev, thanks so much! My name is Jaz Gulati. I'm a general dentist. And I guess what I'm about is learning, sharing, and having a good time making people fall in love with dentistry all over again, and having a good time. And that's essentially my mission statement. [Dev]Okay! So Jaz, as we discussed, when I started this journey, I thought you were the first person, I contacted you. Because your podcast is really inspiring. This podcast, I want it to be for people who are graduate or who are, whatever time in their journey. They want to now up their skill. And then they're looking forward to emulate or model someone else's success. And what I'm trying to do is I'm trying to capture those people's journey. So, someone can look at and listen to the podcast and say, 'Okay! you know, what, Jaz did this.' And in general, if you do that, if you put in that hard work, you do tend to reach that goal. But my aim is not to reach that goal in that time. Probably you reach your goal in 20 years time. I would really like to get some tips from you. So the journey is shorter for the newer dentists who are listening to this podcast, and they pick up on things and you know, they learn faster. So how does that sound? [Jaz]Dev, it's such a great idea! Because essentially, you're journaling everyone's experience, and you're going to fast track everyone. So you know how they say, stand on the shoulders of giants. Essentially, that's what you're doing. What you're going to be doing with this podcast, and I can't wait to see it watch and grow is helping people to be the best version of themselves...
