The Bulletproof Dental Podcast: Bonus Episode! HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden & Dr. Craig Spodak GUESTS:  Chase Howard   DESCRIPTION BREAKING NEWS! Join us as we welcome Chase Howard for an impromptu bonus episode to discuss the recent news surrounding the FTC and non-compete agreements.    TAKEAWAYS The FTC is attempting to ban non-compete agreements, which could have a significant impact on the dentistry industry. Existing non-compete agreements will still be enforceable until the employee leaves the practice. Non-solicitation agreements may become more important for protecting patient and staff retention. The ban does not apply to the sale of practices or certain high-level executives. Dentists should consider revisiting their associate agreements and focusing on other protections such as training costs, non-disclosure agreements, and protecting intellectual property.   CHAPTERS 00:00 - The FTC's Attempt to Ban Non-Compete Agreements 06:54 - Exceptions to the Non-Compete Ban: Sale of Practices and High-Level Executives     REFERENCES Bulletproof Summit Bulletproof Dental Practice Chase Howard
