This is the first part of a two-part episode where Alastair, a seasoned financial strategist, unpacks the intricate relationship between power, time, and money, especially in the realm of dentistry.

Money: Alastair delves into the essence of money, advising on curtailing expenses while amplifying investments to foster financial growth.

Time: Contrasting the real-world with the academic realm, Alastair points out that in the professional sphere, the swiftness in delivering results is rewarded, a stark contrast to the collegiate emphasis on taking ample time to perfect tasks. He beckons a reflective question on work-life harmony, urging individuals to contemplate whether their work for their family has the backing of their loved ones. Engaging in dialogue with family before immersing in demanding work challenges is emphasized to ensure a supportive framework.
