Rony Jung is one of the most famous implant clinicians in the world. He is the Chairman of the Department of Reconstructive Dentistry at the University of Zurich, which is now graded as about the eighth best dental school in the world but is heading way into the top five and beyond under Rony's leadership. He is an implant surgeon, a restorative clinician, a periodontist by stealth, a disruptive researcher, and an amazing teacher - but this wasn't always Rony's initial plan.
In this chat with Colin, Rony talks through his various occupations whilst always remaining positive and enthusiastic about what each door opens. As well as how he uses storytelling in his teaching, how his family is his biggest achievement and how staying curious is the secret key to life.

Paradigms. In 1596, John Harington, the godson of Queen Elizabeth I and a Royal courtier invented the first water closet, giving the Elizabethans the chance to go to a proper toilet for the first time. So centuries on, why do men continue to stand up when going to the toilet which is designed to be sat down on?
In this episode, Colin explores the in-depth subject of paradigms and the curiosity about why people get stuck in belief systems.

'The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.' George Bernard Shaw
This is the first part of a three-part episode series where Colin explores the meaning of disagreeability in what he understands it to be. It would be nice for us to think that the people who change the world are always lovely, fluffy, cuddly people who are nice to everybody but I am sure a lot of the time that is not the case. It's just not possible to get things done.
In these three episodes, we're going to look at the possibility that we need to harness disagreeability, but I guess first we need to know what disagreeability is.
The Campbell Academy podcast has taken various iterations over the past few years but now we’re settled on what it’s for and what we’d like to do and it’s really about meeting and speaking to inspirational people about the good things and the bad, about overcoming the tough times and how they’ve got to be so great.
It’s not that we don’t have any ideas of who to speak to, it’s that we don’t have enough hours in the day to speak to the people we’d like to. We also have a question that we ask every podcast guest at the end of each episode.
I really hope you’ll join us and contribute and discuss some of the biggest issues in and out of dentistry. We’re going to have a lot of fun doing this and hope you’ll have a lot of fun listening.
