What if one bad decision completely changed the course of your career?
In this exclusive, members-only episode, Jaz sits down with a fellow dentist from our community who shares his raw, honest story about a moment of misjudgment — committing fraud — and the painful lessons that followed.
This isn’t about blame. It’s about insight, accountability, and redemption.
From the shock of investigation and court hearings, to the struggle of rebuilding trust and identity, this conversation shines a light on what really happens behind closed doors when things go wrong.
The aim of this podcast was to hopefully deter colleagues from temptation which can affect anyone at any time.
