What If the Goal Isn't to Build the Biggest Business?

Featuring Dr. Femi Fadahunsi | Wylie Dentistry Co.

Dr. Femi Fadahunsi built Wylie Dentistry Co. from the ground up, but he intentionally chose a different definition of growth: a practice that lets him do excellent work while still having time and energy for the people who matter most.

He joins Cordell Reynolds to talk about defining what is enough, saying no to opportunities that do not fit, mastering his craft, choosing family intentionally, and building a legacy that gives his children more options instead of more pressure.

“It’s a default no, until proven otherwise.”

About the Podcast

Protect The Play

Protect The Play is a podcast about the decisions, relationships, risks, and lessons behind meaningful success.

Hosted by Cordell Reynolds, each episode is an honest conversation with entrepreneurs, investors, advisors, leaders, and interesting people who have learned something worth sharing.

We talk about how they got where they are, what shaped the way they think, what didn’t go according to plan, and what they’ve learned about business, money, leadership, family, and legacy along the way.

Go beyond the highlight reel for lessons you can use—because success is also what you learn, protect, and leave behind.

This is Protect The Play.

Ep. 01 | How to Build the Courage to Ask for the Life, Business, and Legacy You Actually Want

Featuring Marty McDonald of Boss Women Media: courage, audacious asks, follow-up, reinvention, family, and building a life of possibility.

Read more

Marty McDonald, founder of Boss Women Media and author of Audacious, breaks down the thinking behind bold asks: doing the work first, creating real value, following up, and refusing to let fear write the story before the conversation starts.

She also traces that mindset back to her childhood, explains how her experiences shaped her voice and advocacy, and shares what ambition has given her family — and what it has cost.

Featured moments
  • 04:58–06:29 The audacious ask that led to a $500,000 Amazon programming budget.
  • 08:16–09:55 The origin of her voice, courage, and willingness to ask.
  • 24:20–25:46 The lesson: follow up with clarity, value, and confidence.
Episode 2

Ep. 02 | She Started Selling Phone Cases at 16. Then Her Family Bought the Supplier.

Abby Rosilier, her father John, and her brother Zach on turning a teenage side hustle into a family business built around ownership, growth, and legacy.

Read more

Abby Rosilier started selling phone cases at 16, but the business changed overnight when a behind-the-scenes TikTok from her twin sister helped generate roughly $30,000 in sales in two days. What had been a teenage side hustle quickly became something the whole family had to learn how to build, protect, and scale together.

Abby, John, and Zach unpack how their different strengths shape the family business, why they think about social content as digital real estate, what pushed them to buy their longtime supplier, and how they are trying to build something that can become bigger than any one person or product.

Featured moments
  • 04:35–05:38 The TikTok that helped produce roughly $30,000 in phone-case sales in two days.
  • 22:25–24:17 The call that led the family to buy its longtime supplier and move the company to Dallas.
  • 38:47–41:03 What the family is ultimately working to protect: each other.

Ep. 03 | What If the Goal Isn't to Build the Biggest Business?

Dr. Femi Fadahunsi of Wylie Dentistry Co. on building a business around the life he actually wants, defining what is enough, protecting family time, and continuing to grow without endlessly chasing more.

Read more

Dr. Femi Fadahunsi built Wylie Dentistry Co. from the ground up in 2018 after deciding that the larger-practice model was not the life or working environment he wanted long term. He intentionally kept the practice smaller so he could stay close to his team and patients, keep improving his craft, and still be present for his family.

He and Cordell talk about why more money can become an endless chase, using a “default no” filter for new opportunities, the difference between contentment and complacency, choosing his wife and family above the businesses, lessons from their Broken Bow short-term rental, and building a legacy that gives his children the freedom to choose their own path.

Featured moments
  • 04:08–06:28 Why a bigger number never automatically becomes “enough,” and why he shifted his focus to the process.
  • 07:43–10:49 His “default no” filter for new opportunities and learning to enjoy what he already built.
  • 38:39–39:55 What he is ultimately protecting: his family, his kids, and their sense of purpose.
