Hooked on Growth: Why Dr. David Bowen Calls Sunrise Addicting (In the Best Way)

When Guidance and Community make Growth Irresistible.

For Dr. David Bowen of Bozeman Family Dentistry, the first taste of Sunrise wasn’t just inspiring — it was addicting.

He laughs about it now, but looking back, it’s clear why. 

“Every call with Tony felt like a new challenge,” he said. “You’d finish one system, and immediately you’d be asking, ‘Okay, what’s next?’ It just kind of becomes an addiction — in the best possible way.”

When David and his wife started their practice in Bozeman, Montana, they were building everything from scratch. Two ambitious minds, one big vision!

But then came the opportunity to buy a second practice.

“It sounded exciting,” David remembers. “But suddenly I was managing two locations, two front desks, eight hygienists — and that’s when I realized, this is a lot.

Enter Sunrise! 

With Dr. Anthony Feck’s coaching and the Sunrise systems, David found structure, clarity, and direction. The disorganized chaos of rapid growth started to turn into rhythm. Each conversation wasn’t just advice — it was momentum.

And that momentum was electric.

The Sunrise “High”

That high isn’t just about numbers. It’s about access to community, to mentorship, to possibility.
David describes it like having an open door to a world where people get it — other doctors, just like him, facing the same challenges, sharing what works.

“At Sunrise, you’re surrounded by people who actually want to help you,” he said.

That kind of access is rare. It’s energizing.

It makes you want to keep showing up, to keep learning, to keep leveling up.
For all the adrenaline of growth, Dr. Bowen’s journey is grounded in humility.
When he looks back at where he started — from $400,000 in early revenue to joining the Seven Figures Club — he doesn’t talk about ego or status. He talks about gratitude.

That’s the balance: addicted to progress, but anchored in perspective. Excited for what’s next, but thankful for how far he’s come.

Still Climbing

Sunrise didn’t just make David’s practice more successful. It made him a better leader, a better communicator, and a better visionary for his team.
He laughs recalling one of Tony’s jokes: “If at first you don’t succeed, do what Tony told you to do the first time.”
That’s the kind of humility and humor that defines the Sunrise way — real, relatable, and relentlessly focused on getting better.

Hooked for All the Right Reasons?

Yes! But for Dr. David Bowen, it’s not an obsession — its purpose.
The systems, the mentorship, the community, they’ve become part of his rhythm. This is not the kind of addiction that burns you out. It’s the kind that builds you up.
