The Real Hustle Podcast

In this episode, we sit down with Kaival Patel, dentist and founder of the Kana Health Group in Milton Keynes, to explore how he went from working as an associate dentist to building a multi-practice business alongside his wife. Kaival shares the real story behind the leap: the failed purchase two weeks before his wedding, the hard lessons of buying an existing business, and the eye condition during COVID that made him realise he needed to take control of his future before life forced his hand.From navigating NHS dentistry's frozen budget to mastering the identity shift from clinician to business owner, Kaival brings honest, practical insight that goes well beyond dentistry. Whether you're a healthcare professional, an entrepreneur, or anyone thinking about taking the plunge into business ownership, this conversation is packed with the kind of hard-won wisdom that no university course will ever teach you._______________________________________________________________________Follow Kaival:LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/in/kaival-patel-12a1931b0/Kanahealthgroup.comFollow Dylan Russell:LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/in/dylan-russell-b33512163/ Instagram - @_dylan_russell_______________________________________________________________________See you next week,DylanDisclaimer: This podcast provides general educational information only, not professional advice.
