In this first episode, Bill Schulz shares the real, winding path that led him to launch Commonwealth Transitions—a dental brokerage firm born from hard lessons, strong mentorship, and a relentless drive to work for himself. From selling dental supplies out of a thick catalog to designing dental offices and ultimately brokering million-dollar practice deals, Bill walks us through the pivotal moments that shaped his journey.

He opens up about getting fired at the peak of his career, the mentors who believed in him, and why working for himself was the only way forward. Whether you're in dentistry, sales, or just navigating your own entrepreneurial path, this origin story sets the tone for a podcast that’s all about business, ownership, and betting on yourself.
