Three young associates took me out for dinner last week, to pick my brains on opening their own squat dental practice.
They gave me full permission to extend tough love - and I held nothing back in exposing the naivety and flaws in their plans.
That's in no way a criticism - we all start from the same position of inexperience and we research, learn and grow.
I've no doubt that a recording of earlier versions of me would have me cringing in embarrassment at my highfalutin and grand designs.
Credit to my three hosts:
For identifying me as one of the experienced dental folks they should talk to;
For having the good grace to accept my very direct feedback;
For having the hunger to make a difference in the world and the humility to see their lack of knowledge;
For their enthusiasm - as always, infectious.
I'd like to think that, 25 years from now, someone asks them out for a working dinner.
