How to Protect Your Practice, Your Family, and Your Future | Andre Pennington
Most families think estate planning is only for the wealthy.
What if waiting is actually one of the most expensive financial mistakes you can make?
In this episode of the Ask the Dentist Podcast, I sit down with estate planning attorney and wealth strategist Andre Pennington for an eye-opening conversation about protecting your family, your business, and the wealth you work so hard to build.
As a pediatric dentist, I spend my career helping families protect their health. But financial security is just as important. That's why we discuss the strategies every family—not just high-net-worth households—should understand long before they're needed.
Whether you're raising children, growing a business, or planning for retirement, this episode will help you think differently about your financial future.
This isn't just about legal documents.
It's about protecting the people you love.
