The Chief Psycho Podcast

Welcome to The Chief Psycho Podcast with Jonathan Bonanno a.k.a. Chief Psycho, where we cut through the noise and get real about everyday humans charting to leave others better than they found them.

Each episode, I sit down with extraordinary leaders, disruptors, and truth-tellers who are shaping the future by sharing unfiltered stories about their wins, struggles, and what it really takes to drive change.

No fluff. No scripts. Just candid conversations that dive deep into the messy, powerful, and often overlooked experiences behind innovation.

If you want to understand the heart behind healthcare transformation and maybe get a little uncomfortable along the way - you're in the right place!

What happens when you refuse to let your career stay in one lane?

In this episode of The Chief Psycho Podcast, I sit down with Michelle Strange, MSDH, RDH, a clinician, educator, entrepreneur, and practice owner whose 25-year career spans assisting, hygiene, graduate education, infection prevention, mobile care, teledentistry, public health advocacy, speaking, and ownership.

Michelle shares how she built a career rooted in curiosity, continuous learning, and strategic reinvention. We talk about infection control as leadership, expanding access through mobile and teledentistry, and what it means to move from clinician to owner without losing clinical integrity.

In this episode, we explore:
• Mobile and teledentistry as access and innovation tools
• Infection prevention as a leadership responsibility
• Clinical education and advocacy in modern dentistry
• Practice ownership and value-based care
• Designing a career that evolves with intention

This episode is for clinicians who want range, ownership, and a career that grows as they do.
