Naren Arulrajah is a self-made entrepreneur. His vision for Growing Dentist podcast series does not stop with professional growth. Naren is equally invested in personal success for dentists who often forget or ignore their personal lives for professional success.   Service and excellence are the cornerstones of Naren’s entrepreneurial journey. But he also believes, success is best enjoyed only when you know what failure looks like. He fully believes that success does not happen in isolation. Its effects are far reaching and far more wholesome when it impacts the lives of not only an individual, but also his relationships.   His passion stems from his unique ability as a visionary. Naren’s association with leading dentists spans more than a decade and during this time he has had the unique opportunity to work closely and understand the specific challenges that dentists face in their work and in their lives. This is what drove him to envision and create GrowingDentist.com.   Naren’s vision for Growing Den
