Success Without Burnout: A Seasoned Specialist Reignites Growth in His Fourth Decade

What if your best years weren’t behind you—but just getting started?

What if you were already successful, already leading a respected practice, and still discovered there was another level—one that didn’t require grinding harder, but instead felt more natural, energizing, and inspired? That’s exactly what Dr. Mark Sutor, a highly respected periodontist in the Midwest, discovered. Mark had already built a thriving, well-respected practice, complete with a talented associate and strong referral relationships. His patients trusted him. His practice was stable. Life was good. And yet… After nearly four decades in the profession, Mark still felt the quiet pull of something more—not out of dissatisfaction, but out of curiosity, growth, and love for the craft.

The Challenge: Growth Without the Grind

Mark wasn’t looking for a reinvention. He wasn’t trying to “fix” anything. What he wanted was deeper connection—with his patients, his associate, and his referring doctors. He wanted to evolve as a leader without losing the joy of practicing. That’s when he was invited to join the Moonshot Program.

The Moonshot Transformation: Curiosity, Clarity, and a New Spark

With a mindset of openness and humility, Mark stepped away from the day-to-day for a few days of learning, reflection, and immersion with peers. What he found was not just affirmation—but activation. “I thought I’d come just to recharge… but I ended up reimagining what’s possible.”

At Moonshot, Mark experienced:

• A high-performance community that inspired him to think bigger.
• Tools and frameworks that offered clarity on how to lead at an even higher level.
• A reconnection to his purpose, reinvigorating his love for the profession.
• A fresh lens on mentoring his associate, with powerful impact.
• A strategic growth path that didn’t feel heavy—it felt natural, exciting, and fully aligned.

The Result: His Strongest Month Ever

After the workshop, Mark returned not just inspired—but equipped. Within weeks:

• His practice had its best month in history.
• New patient flow and referrals surged.
• Practice growth jumped nearly 15%, something he never imagined at this stage.
• His associate flourished, fueled by a new level of coaching and leadership.
• And Mark found himself loving the work even more—with more joy, more energy, and more connection.
