Can gum and mints really help with cavities? Science says yes, if they contain xylitol like the ones from Epic Dental! Joining Irene this week on the podcast are Donald and Monica Bailey, the husband and wife team behind the business. In Part 1 of this interview, hear the story of how Donald started the company, how he met Monica when she was using a competing product, and the amazing synergy that happened when they put their talents together. Their line of xylitol-based products is a game-changer for anyone who struggles with cavities, despite following good dental hygiene, and can benefit young children just starting to develop healthy oral habits as well. Just ask the Baileys’ kids, who are also involved in the family business! Don’t miss this wholesome episode about building on a simple idea, finding the right partner, and work-life balance. Donald Bailey - Founder and Chief Smile Officer, Epic Dental Donald has had a passion for peddling tasty treats ever since he was young, as seen from his first venture into the world of business as a 13-year-old: selling candy out of his backpack to his fellow junior high students. When Donald’s having a bad day, his favourite thing to do is read through our most recent customer reviews as a reminder of the difference our product can create. In addition to his work, Donald loves drone photography and stealing a few minutes to play a round of Golf Clash on his phone. Monica Bailey - Chief of Staff, Epic Dental Donald’s wife and partner-in-crime Monica is passionate about taking Epic to the next level and loves managing the Epic Team. Monica enjoys making caramel apples and crème brulée, was crowned Mrs. Utah America in 2016, and will never be spotted far from a cold can of Coca-Cola (with fresh lime).
