Today's episode is a little different. Instead of me interviewing our guest, Dr. Bilal Saib of The Passionate Dentist podcast, we interview each other about the highs and lows of our careers and the joys of podcasting. 

Dr. B is a fellow dentist and podcaster based in North Carolina. He's also a frequent missionary to the West Bank, where he performs free dental work on communities in need. In this episode, we talk about how our shows have given us a greater sense of community with other dentists, and dig into our careers.
