Life in Focus 025: Dr. Bill Dorfman - Persistence and Practice Makes Permanent
Oct 15, 2019
After this episode, you will never again be afraid of going to the dentist.
In my interview with Dr. Bill Dorfman, best know for his starring role in the ABC hit series, Extreme Makeover, and Emmy Winning daytime CBS talk show The Doctors. Dr. Dorfman is a celebrity cosmetic dentist, author, creator of ZOOM whitening, and the founder of LEAP Foundation.
Having a beautiful smile is not only a matter of vanity, it relates more to health, confidence, and self worth. When someone's teeth are in poor condition they are very self aware, lack confidence, and more often than not are in pain.
Dr. Bill is a living example of tenacity. He tells us how he went against all odds to get his first job to, landed a hit television show with zero acting experience, and how he became a mentor to students all over the world through LEAP Foundation. One thing Dr. Bill has mastered is the ability of persistence.
For him, the most rewarding thing is life is making people's lives better, and that's why he keeps up his practice even after his dental company, Discus Dental, Inc., sold for over a billion dollars making him a multi millionaire!
