In this Interference Cast episode, Jaz sits down with Dr Sunny Marwaha — a dentist completing part-time specialist training in prosthodontics at Guy’s, who became a father right in the middle of it. It’s not a clinical episode. It’s an honest conversation about doing the hardest career stretch (training, buying practices, building a name) at the exact same time you’re raising young children — the sleep, the money, the guilt, and the strategies that actually help. Two dentist dads, comparing notes.\n\nWhat You’ll Take From This Episode\n\nPriority management, not time management — Decide what this season of life is for, and protect it; priorities shift as the kids grow.\nLeave the day at the door — both directions — The driveway is dad mode, the clinic is showtime; you can’t take work home or home to work.\nRun the family like a small business — Regular family meetings and a “mind like water” system can help carry the load without living in your head.\nUse AI to buy back time — Make use of dictated notes, auto-drafted letters, and turning papers into audio for the commute. This is leverage, not cheating.\nSpecialise or self-direct? — An honest filter for whether a structured training pathway or private courses and mentorship suits you better.\nHighlights of This Episode\n\n00:00     Teaser\n00:42     Daddy Dentist: Balancing Fatherhood and Dentistry\n03:42     Should You Specialise or Learn Through Private Courses?\n10:12      How to Time Having Kids Around Specialist Training\n13:32     Paternity Leave for Dentists: What's...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/hLSIeRiYSp0oTfIk0BzEukFutShD18hH3f6fq4QHsWw/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lZmM0/ZTNjYzdiZDJhNGFj/MzBiYmU2NTUwNmM2/NzQ2My5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
