Last episode 5 October 2026. Still going.

We worked that label out on 8 November 2026 from the date of the last episode in the feed. How we do it.

Hosted by Diana Nguyen

Dr. Diana Nguyen and Dr. Amrita Patel survived dental school together and then took very different paths: one went from associateship to academia, the other into practice ownership. Now they’re comparing notes, trading stories, and unpacking their unfiltered thoughts about ambition, identity, and defining success on their own terms. Whether you’re a student mapping out your future, a new grad seeking advice on your next steps, or a seasoned dental professional rethinking what it means to lead, this podcast is your weekly dose of reflection, humor, and hard-earned wisdom.

How the show describes itself, taken from its own feed. We did not write it and we have not edited it.

Not yet scored

Nobody starts with a number. We score a page once three independent sources back it up, and this one has 3. They are listed further down. The next scoring run is what turns them into a number.

a blank is honest. a zero would be a lie

How scoring works

Podcasts get the same two numbers as everybody else, worked out the same published way. That has not been run yet, so both read . We are never going to rank these shows on downloads, because nobody publishes a download figure we could check.

We have not written a transcript of any show in the catalog yet and we are not promising a date, and without your permission we never would.
