You might not like me for building this
But I’ve never met a dentist who enjoys hearing
“I’ll think about it” after presenting a treatment plan

If you’re in dentistry
Running ops at a DSO
A dental owner with 5 or more clinics and plans to acquire or build more
Prepping a clinic for sale
Coaching doctors on production

This was built for you — and it’s working.
Much more than I thought it would

Like, tag someone in dentistry, and retweet
I’ll DM you a case study that even AI won’t know

The time has come to invest in a new laptop.

If you’re knowledgeable, I’m considering the MacBook Pro M4 Max (36GB / 1TB)

Is it worth the hype?

Open to suggestions.

Gentlemen at Costco was trying to sell me on the Lenovo Slim 7i (32GB / 1TB).

Real talk: Nothing about success feels successful while you're building it.

You'll feel behind.
You'll doubt yourself daily.
You'll want to quit.

But the truth is, every winner felt this way. You're in good company.

Once again, a bullet has silenced the most eloquent truth teller of an era. My dear friend Charlie Kirk was our country's relentless and courageous crusader for free speech. We pray for Erika and the children. Charlie is already in paradise with the angels. We ask his prayers for our country.

@TwilioHelp @twilio Thanks for the reply. The ticket is #22235969. We're in a live beta and blocked from sending SMS due to the delay. Would really appreciate your help getting this reviewed.

[TNT @TonyNTate]

Hey @twilio — our toll-free SMS number has been stuck in manual review for 6 days with no response from support (ticket #22235969). We're in the middle of a beta rollout and completely blocked from delivering messaging features. Can someone please escalate this?

Can any suggest an alternative to @twilio ?

[TNT @TonyNTate]

@SuccessWithJake I would take the $1M, acquire 10 businesses worth $1M each. Hire operators and incentivize their comp based on a 15% CAGR and collect mailbox money. Then I would sell courses about buying companies with zero money down, build a media company for deal flow and distr. 100x the $1M.

[TNT @TonyNTate]

@twilio Our product launch is blocked waiting on ticket #22235969 (manual business profile review). Any way to speed this up? Really appreciate your help 🙏

[TNT @TonyNTate]

@patrickdichter Long way to go, but thank you. Appreciate the introduction.

How one coffee shop convo turned into my next startup

Sunday, March 16th
I was sitting in a coffee shop.
Second deal of my search died during diligence. I felt like shit.

Started poking around my pipeline again, just trying to stay in motion.
Next to me, two sharp guys were venting about a major pain point in their industry.

I couldn’t help myself. Jumped in, started asking questions.
90 minutes later, I had heard enough to be curious.

That Monday, I called a few people who fit my ideal customer.
Validated the problem, mapped the landscape, and realized no one was solving it well.

That moment kicked off the journey I’ve been on for the last few months.
Started with what I know best: sales and GTM.

Spoke to 30+ business owners. By convo #4, I wasn’t doing research anymore—I was selling the vision.
I’d ask every owner to roast it. Tell me what sucked. What would make it a no-brainer.

A few calls later, I had real interest and a clearer product.

Built the first proof of concept in Replit.
That became my live demo. I used it to start networking my way up the food chain.

Today, I’ve got access to owners across 1,700 clinics.
30 beta testers locked in.
I’ve been building the product side-by-side with future customers through biweekly check-ins to make sure we’re solving the right problems.
V1.1 of my MVP goes live in the next couple weeks.

Found a scrappy young dev on Reddit to bring the vision to life.
Also teamed up with an experienced backend engineer to scale what’s next.

Still building in stealth.
But I’ve pitched this to billion-dollar companies and gotten 2nd, 3rd meetings.
No revenue yet. Just momentum, clarity, and a roadmap.

I’ll report back after beta trials with results.

I left out a lot of details. I’ll save that for later.
Been documenting everything because I believe this playbook is repeatable across industries.

Lately I’ve realized something.
Because of AI, I feel like there are no limits to what I can figure out.
That belief has kept me going.

Pursue your curiosity.
Even when the path isn’t clear.
Especially when things fall apart.

Cheers to whatever comes next.

PS: Might be looking for a sharp designer or UX mind to help shape the next phase.
Just be exceptional before reaching out.

@bradsmith Would love to see it

The most successful people I know are violently allergic to pessimistic people.

@LeilaHormozi I get told I’m too obsessed and that I need to work less.

@ClintFiore What industry ?

[TNT @TonyNTate]

What’s the difference between AI generated agreements vs using real attorneys?

If you use a template from a reliable law firm, attach it to a chatGPT pro and asked it for specific inputs to customize, shouldn’t this work or be at least comparable to what you pay for with a law firm?

I’m getting quoted $8k for basic agreements that look and feel similar to what ChatGPT or Claude produces.

Basic agreements like IP Assignments, OA’s, equity vesting, advisor agreements seem straight forward.

Who’s credible in this area that can chime in?

[TNT @TonyNTate]

@_jameslincoln Definitely an opinion based on your risk tolerance, mindset and belief.

Anyone can create any business at anytime in their career. Success will vary based on several variables.
