Shortly before recording this podcast, Justin was informed of a 192% price increase from his insurance company for his group policy. One nearly viral Facebook post and many swear words later, Justin decides to voice his frustrations on our latest episode.
This podcast contains more adult language than normal.
Enjoy, folks!
From Cory Glenn, himself: "It has been said that if you do something you love, you’ll never work a day in your life. I can honestly say that I have found this to be true of dentistry. As a dentist in Winchester TN, I feel blessed to be able to combine my love of science and artistic expression into a career that can change people’s lives by restoring their smiles.
I was born in Jonesboro, AR where I lived until completing my undergraduate studies in biology and chemistry at Arkansas State University. I then attended dental school at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. Following graduation in 2008, I went on to do an additional Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency with a focus on comprehensive care and dental implants. My love of dentistry and desire to excel in it has led me to become a continual student, taking far above the state required 20 hours of education per year (in 2012, I took over 380 hours).
I enjoy collaborating with other dentists on various dental topics and I lecture frequently across the world on the topics of CAD/CAM, conebeam technology and guided dental implants, dental photography, digital smile design, complete dentures, and complex full mouth rehabilitation.
I also hold active memberships in the following organizations:
As much as I love dentistry, the role I’m most proud of is being husband to my beautiful wife Amanda and being Daddy to our 3 precious daughters, Allie, Audrey, and Leah. Amanda is a dental hygienist and maintains an active role in the management of the practice.
On Dec. 26th of 2015, I got news that forever changed me. I was diagnosed with Leukemia. There's nothing like thinking you're going to die to make you really understand what's important in life. For me, that was my faith and my family. I spent the next 8 months doing chemotherapy fighting cancer. Thankfully, my treatment was successful and I'm now in complete remission but the experience has given me a renewed and much deeper perspective on life.
We are members of Winchester First Baptist Church where I enjoy playing guitar and singing in the praise and worship band. Outside of family and dentistry, I love to spend time outdoors cycling, fishing, hunting, woodworking, and doing photography.

Part Two continues with David Harris explaining more about the process of prosecuting an embezzler.
It's a fact: two-thirds of dentists will be embezzlement during their career. Over 6,000 dentists will be embezzled, resulting in over $180 million in losses. That's pretty scary, right? Think it can't happen to you? Think again. We take a break from our normal shenanigans (and lack of content) to talk about something serious.
