When Eric Kwon was a boy, he watched his father suffer a dental infection that left him paralyzed for months. That experience piqued Eric’s interest in dentistry.
He opened his own practice in 2015 with no business training and no real plan, just the belief that he could build something of his own. It grew faster than he could have imagined, from a single room bursting at the seams to a thriving practice with his wife Grace working alongside him. But the growth came at a price. The paperwork piled up. He spent his evenings going through insurance claims long after the kids were in bed. His evenings were filled with staring at stacks of paper until the numbers made him delirious.
Somewhere in that journey, his idea of success quietly shifted.
Then he found a way to hand off the admin, and he started to get his life back. He now had the time to coach his sons' teams, to be at their games, to be present in a way the work had never allowed. Somewhere in that journey, his idea of success quietly shifted. Early on it had been about achievement, about wealth, about what he could build. Now it was about service, relationships and the family he had been working for all along.
