And that's true of a lot of private practices. They don't want to do Saturdays. They also don't want to do Wednesdays or whatever. So whenever people ask me, I always say go and find, go and research 5, 10 practices in your area that look fantastic. And just go to them say look, do you want someone to work on a Saturday because probably they do. Jaz's Introduction:Hello, Protruserati! I'm Jaz Gulati and welcome back to this interference cast, where we take a slight non clinical ditto it's with our friend Dr. Rupert Monkhouse from #impressionclub. Listen, if you don't follow this guy on Instagram, you are missing out. This guy is like making removable prosthodontics sexy again, and you may remember him way back in episode 73, where we discuss lower complete suction dentures, right? So this guy is a wizard, you need to check him out. And today we talk about something a little bit different. Rupert actually works quite close to me. So we met up and I like to hear stories of how he got his first or not his first associate position. But where is that at the moment, a beautiful practice. And it very much covers this theme, which is a question I get a lot of how do I go about getting my first associate position. And just if you scroll down on Apple or Spotify or wherever you're listening, if you're watching on YouTube, I did an episode recently how to get an associate position in four minutes. Okay, so if you haven't seen that, please check it out. But essentially, this is a story of how I got my first associate position, his story of how Rupert got his first associate position. And how the relevant theme here is to be proactive. Nothing will happen if you're reactive. So if you're reactive, you wait for things to happen, and then you will respond. Whereas when you're proactive, you are forcing change, you are a force to be reckoned with. You are actually a master of your own ship. You're in charge of your own destinies, does that makes sense? This is what it's all about. So the message and the lessons from this episode will hopefully inspire you to change the way you look at the world and look at dentistry and look at your career options to hopefully put yourself in a better position going forward. Let's catch the main interview with Rupert and I'll catch you in the outro. Main Interview: [Jaz] Rupert #impressionclub Monkhouse.
