EP 296: From Burnout to Breakthrough: The Pivot Protocol That’s Saving Dentists’ Lives

Jumpstart With Jeff

What if your biggest struggle wasn’t clinical, but personal? In this episode of Jumpstart with Jeff, Dr. Jeff Buske opens up a powerful conversation around what it really takes to create a life and practice you love. Burnout, isolation, and overwhelm are silent killers in dentistry, but it doesn’t have to be that way. If you're tired of white-knuckling your way through life or feeling like success is costing you everything that matters, this episode is your wake-up call.

Dr. Buske breaks down the heart of his Pivot Protocol, a practical and deeply personal system built to help dentists get crystal clear on where they are, where they want to go, and what’s standing in the way. But this isn't about lectures or theories, this is about transformation through brotherhood, accountability, and raw honesty. Dr. Buske shares stories of his own failures, divorce, depression, addiction, and how he found his way out by stepping into vulnerability and building a life filled with purpose, not just productivity.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

The 3-step Pivot Protocol for real, lasting life change

Why success starts with clarity and brutal honesty

How small group intensives create exponential growth

The hidden cost of surface-level CE events, and what to do instead

Why dentists are suffering in silence, and how to break the cycle

“I’ve fucked it up every way but Friday, but now I know the way out. And I’m here to show you too.” - Dr. Jeff Buske
