<p>This week, Payman sits down with Adeel Ali, an implantologist who&#39;s taken the kind of risks most dentists only talk about. Seven years qualified and he&#39;s already built multiple UK practices, mastered full-arch implantology including zygomatics, and most recently moved his family to Qatar to open a clinic from scratch—all whilst flying back every three weeks to maintain UK commitments. </p><p>The conversation reveals someone refreshingly honest about not being naturally gifted clinically, instead crediting a relentless work ethic inherited from his father&#39;s 40-year retail career. They discuss marrying at 24, having kids young, and deliberately choosing to excel in every domain simultaneously rather than sequentially. </p><p>Adeel&#39;s approach to business follows a simple framework: character-assassinate potential partners for integrity, find the best person doing what you want to learn, and when uncertainty hits, pray five times daily and trust it&#39;ll work out. </p><p>From explaining why people should die with fixed teeth rather than dentures to how his wife rewired his mindset about Qatar, this episode offers an unfiltered look at making bold moves work through spiritual conviction and practical ruthlessness.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>In This Episode</strong></p><p>00:01:20 - Work ethic and retail roots</p><p>00:04:25 - Teaching kids about money and work</p><p>00:09:10 - Family dynamics and sacrifice</p><p>00:13:50 - Marrying young and choosing fatherhood</p><p>00:16:50 - Struggling through dental school</p><p>00:22:15 - Life-changing full arch work</p><p>00:23:25 - Finding mentors and the Tatum course</p><p>00:26:25 - Three-tier training programme</p><p>00:29:10 - Advice for aspiring implantologists</p><p>00:33:45 - Aha moments in implantology</p><p>00:43:15 - Mentorship beyond clinical skills</p><p>00:46:50 - Choosing business partners</p><p>00:51:15 - Practice acquisitions and growth strategy</p><p>00:53:20 - Comfortable in the uncomfortable</p><p>00:56:25 - Faith, religion and rating people holistically</p><p>00:59:35 - Prayer and God consciousness</p><p>01:05:50 - The Qatar move</p><p>01:09:35 - Building London Implant Clinic from scratch</p><p>01:12:35 - Wife&#39;s all-in mentality</p><p>01:14:10 - Flying lifestyle and health concerns</p><p>01:18:40 - Fantasy dinner party</p><p>01:30:35 - Full arch consultation process</p><p>01:36:25 - Cultural differences treating Qatari patients</p><p><br></p><p><strong>About Adeel Ali</strong></p><p>Adeel Ali is an implantologist who recently relocated to Qatar whilst maintaining UK practices.
