Programming Note: Dr. Fred & Sam Morris recorded today's episode for their forthcoming In*Sanity podcast. Rather than wait to release this super-inspiring conversation through In*Sanity, we decided to share it with the WtH family right away. It’s that good. Enjoy!
Today's episode features the most famous cosmetic dentist in the world, yet this is NOT an episode about dentistry. Bill Dorfman grew up poor, with the odds stacked against him.
