In this episode of Business Under Fire , we sit down with Dr. Mark Haverkorn — a rare dual-credentialed DDS and MD — who runs River City Oral Surgery in San Antonio, TX. Dr. Haverkorn breaks down what oral and maxillofacial surgery actually covers (spoiler: way more than pulling teeth), shares his path from a self-described math-team nerd to a surgeon who reconstructs faces, and gets real about the business side of running an independent medical practice — including the wild "cupcake marketing" story that helped generate $1 million in referrals, and why his practice refuses to take insurance and posts every price on its website.

Whether you're in healthcare, running your own business, or just love a good entrepreneurial story with some surgery talk mixed in, this one's got it all.

In this episode of Business Under Fire, Tommy Bonner sits down with leadership coach, speaker, professor, and talent development expert Dr. Colby Jubenville for a wide-ranging conversation on leadership, confidence, coaching, culture, personal growth, and what it really takes to build successful organizations and successful lives.

Together, Tommy and Colby explore why so many people feel stuck, how great leaders build trust, why culture matters more than most organizations realize, and how anyone can create momentum by taking ownership of their personal development.

Whether you're a business owner, manager, entrepreneur, coach, or someone simply looking to become the best version of yourself, this episode is packed with practical wisdom and powerful stories.
