Hi Vaulted Viewer,

I hope this message finds you well! I'm excited to share my latest podcast episode featuring local Rancho Bernardo dentist, Dr. Kam Ghandehari, DDS!  

In this episode, we explore Dr. Ghandehari's fascinating and successful life journey as a Iranian immigrant to becoming an award-winning local dentist at Rancho Bernardo Dental Arts. I promise, this interview is nothing like going to the dentist. We had a great time sipping bourbon and talking business as Kam gives us a peek behind the scenes of the dental industry.  You might be surprised by what he shares about the different dentistry business models, the types of products used and how that may impact the quality of care you receive.  

Here are some highlights you won't want to miss:

The Journey: Kam recounts his incredible path from a British boarding school in India to dental school at USC, and how his family's legacy in dentistry shaped his career. Fuhgeddaboudit! He even spent some of his childhood in New Jersey.

HMO vs. Private Practice: It’s interesting to hear Kam discuss the stark contrasts between working as a dentist in an HMO setting and running a fee-for-service private practice. I can’t help but think that the business model of the dentist may have a significant impact on the service patients receive. Clearly not all dentistry business models are equal.  

Concierge Dentistry: Do you ever get the run around when you need to speak with your healthcare professional? Not in Kam’s world. Learn about Kam's approach to patient care and how he strives to create a personalized experience for everyone.

A Wild Request: Kam shares a hilarious story from his dental school days about a patient with a rather extravagant request for a denture!

Tune in now to hear Dr. Kam Ghandehari's inspiring journey and gain a deeper understanding of the world of dentistry!

In this episode, Kam and I were sipping on Frey Ranch Straight Bourbon Whiskey. This 116.88 proof bottle is velvety and unique, with oak and citrus aromas followed by vanilla, caramel, banana chips, and dried hay on the palate.

Vaulted Advice
For the Investor

I can’t but help that deep down I am and always will be a financial advisor. From time to time I plan on sharing financial strategies and concepts that I feel will be valuable to our subscribers.  

Vaulted Advice
For the Advisor

I have learned a lot over the years about the financial services industry. Financial advisors are small business owners balancing two roles, first being a financial advisor to their clients and second being a responsible business owner for their family, staff and their community. I plan on sharing financial industry content and my experiences to this select group of subscribers here.

Vaulted Advice
For the Connoisseur

We all have vices. Mine are fine whiskeys, cigars and thoroughbred horseracing. So if you are in to that, I will share what I'm up to recently to relax and enjoy my time away from the hustle.

Thank you for being a part of this journey. Together, we’ll unlock the secrets to success in money, business, and life.

Warm regards,

Ray Lucia Jr.
