#199- To Hell and Back with Pav Khaira

Host Prav Solanki and implant impresario Pav Khaira have been fast friends for around 15 years. But only today did they realise they have a shared history growing up and grafting hard in corner-shop family businesses. Things have come a long way for our guest since his days helping dad shift cigarettes in the shop.  These days, Pav is a leading implantology educator whose Academy of Implant Excellence is helping a generation of clinicians get their start in the field.  But it wasn’t an easy road.  This week, he chats with Pav about their shared upbringing, life lessons, and inspirational figures.  He also talks candidly about the dark days following the folding of his practice, bankruptcy,  and what he learned from the experience.  Enjoy!     In This Episode 01.58 - Backstory 14.15 - Life lessons and the next generation 21.16 - Academic life 26.19 - Granddad 31.15 - From VT to ownership 37.41 - Dark days and recovery 53.48 - A love story 01.01.15 - Teaching 01.13.10 - Last days and legacy 01.15.08 - Fantasy dinner party About Pav Khaira Pav Khaira graduated from the University College of London and King’s College in 2002 and then gained a diploma and master’s degree n implantology at the City of London University.
