805. Shaped by Struggle

In this episode, Dr. Killeen kicks off with a surprising quote from C-3PO in Star Wars and connects it to a powerful insight from Viktor Frankl, author of Man’s Search for Meaning. The idea is simple but honest. Struggle is part of the human experience, and dentistry is no exception. From canceled appointments to clinical complications, tough moments can either make us cynical or make us stronger. Dr. Killeen explores how choosing our response to difficulty is what ultimately shapes us as leaders, clinicians, and people. While hardship is unavoidable, growth is always a choice.
