Who they are
Matt Doherty hosts Dental Business Made Simple. The feed holds ten episodes, the newest from September 2026.
They are on the program at Dykema DSO Conference in Denver, CO in July 2027. One roster carries that, so it stays marked unverified until a second source turns up.
They turn up by name on two episodes of other people’s shows, across two shows we index. The most recent is “Driving a Championship Culture” on Raving Patients Podcast, June 2026.
Every line above comes from a page somebody else published, and each one is linked below.
Where they stand on a stage
One roster carries the lines marked single source, and one roster is not two. They still count toward Influence, and the Score Report says which is which.
