    Dr. Ryan Robinson should have been a statistic. Instead, he became a successful owner of multiple dental and medical practices—all before the age of forty. In 2015, with his first practice thriving, it looked like he already had “the life.” But inside, despite the external success, he had hit a personal rock bottom, burned out on dental work, and he realized he wasn’t truly passionate about the work. After asking himself, “Why am I here on this earth?” he recalibrated to find the answer and think bigger than ever before.
