We have a very special episode for you today. As you probably know, one of the tenants of Productive Dentist Academy is Doing Good While Doing Good. We believe that one of the benefits of productivity is having the time and resources to give back to others. We are so excited to bring you today’s guest, Tom Latourette, and a creative way to do good and help people out in your community, while creatively marketing and branding your office.
Regan has known Tom for the better part of 10 years and invited him on the show today to share a unique opportunity for all PDA dentists. Twenty years ago, Tom and his brother Bill founded the BTB (Beat Tom and Bill) Foundation to help raise money for local Chicago families fighting cancer. As part of his efforts to channel his creativity and support local families, Tom has written several children’s books - I Had a Runny Nose & I Had an Upset Stomach - where 100% of the sales go to the BTB Foundation.
Tom’s newest book, I Had a Rotten Tooth, follows the hunt for Billy Bicuspid, a good tooth who has gone bad. “I wanted to give dentists a unique way to help share good dental education with their littlest patients,” says Tom, “while also giving dentists a unique way to help their local communities.”
For every copy of I Had a Rotten Tooth you buy, Tom will not only donate all proceeds to BTB Foundation but will also donate a copy of the book to a local hospital helping kids through cancer. Each donated book will contain a label noting the book was donated by your dental office.
So we invite you to join in on this very special episode where Regan, Chad, and Tom chat about I Had a Rotten Tooth and:
- How the book, and you, help local families fighting cancer
- The historical dental inspirations for some of the character designs
- How you can participate in your local community
