I started the GrowOrtho podcast for one reason. The orthodontic business conversations I was having behind closed doors with the country's fastest-growing practice owners were the conversations every owner needed to hear.
Most ortho podcasts are clinical. They're great if you want to dig into bracket systems, aligner technology, or treatment planning. GrowOrtho is different. It's about the business of orthodontics: how the top 1 percent of practice owners build, scale, lead, and exit. The mindset. The systems. The hard decisions.
If you're an orthodontist who wants to think bigger about your practice, your team, and your life, this is the show.
What You'll Hear
Every episode goes deep on one of four themes:
- Growth. How practices broke through the $3M, $5M, $10M, and $20M ceilings. What changed and what stayed the same.
- Leadership. The mindset shift from clinician to CEO. How owners learn to delegate, hire A-players, and build culture.
- Marketing and conversion. Real conversations about what works in 2026 (and what doesn't), from Google Ads to TC scripts.
- Mindset. Why most growth ceilings are inside the owner, not inside the practice. Frameworks for breaking through them.

Who I Talk To
Most guests fall into one of three buckets. Practice owners who've broken through a major growth ceiling and want to share what worked. Industry operators (TCs, COOs, marketing leads) who run the systems behind 8-figure practices. And outside-the-industry experts whose lessons translate cleanly to the business of orthodontics.
I keep the conversations real. No sponsored softball questions. If a guest is doing something I disagree with, I'll say so on tape. The result is a show that respects the listener's time and tells the truth about what it takes to grow.
About the Host
I'm Luke Infinger. I'm the CEO and co-founder of HIP Creative, the agency behind some of the fastest-growing orthodontic practices in the country. I'm a four-time Amazon best-selling author of the Orthodontic Practice Growth Series, including Front Desk Secrets of the Nation's Fastest Growing Orthodontic Practices.
I'm not an orthodontist. I've never worked inside a practice. That's the point. I bring an entrepreneur's lens to a profession that has been doing things the same way for decades, and the practices willing to think differently are the ones running ahead of the field.
