• 737. Why the Underdog Energy Still Matters

  In this episode, Dr. Killeen talks about why people naturally root for those who stay humble—and quietly pull away from those who forget where they started. Using an unexpected example (yep, Taylor Swift), he unpacks how “underdog energy” builds trust, loyalty, and support long after success shows up. The takeaway for dentists and leaders is simple: remember the grind, stay grounded, and never lose the humility that helped you earn the win in the first place.

• 735. When Inner Alignment Matters More Than Approval

  In this episode, Dr. Killeen shares a powerful and unexpected story about G. Dep, a rapper who carried the weight of a single decision for nearly two decades—and what happened when he finally chose honesty over comfort. The conversation isn’t about crime or punishment, but about the quiet stress that comes from living out of alignment with yourself. Dr. Killeen reflects on why sometimes it’s okay to disappoint others if the alternative is disappointing yourself, and how unresolved inner conflict can quietly drain your energy at work and at home.
