Hi, I’m Ryan McCostlin

I’m the founder of Tailwater, the best partnership in dentistry.

I’m not a dentist, but I help lead a team dedicated to helping dentists build and grow practices they’re proud of. Thriving dental practices focused on clinical excellence, personal balance, and clear paths toward long-term wealth for the dentists who lead them.

I also write online.

A few years ago, I started writing for myself and a small circle of friends and family members. I shared ideas I found and tested. Ideas that helped me prioritize the right people and projects.

Today, The Weekly(ish) Idea arrives in thousands of inboxes all over the world every Friday morning. Always short and thoughtful. Always featuring one idea.

If you’ve read this far, connect with me on Linkedin.

And Twitter.

When I’m not writing or helping dental practices thrive, I also teach as a lecturer and adjunct professor at Vanderbilt University.

I live in Nashville with my wife, Elizabeth, and our three children.
