Quotes
“We don't talk about our failures out loud, but I think it is really important in veterinary medicine, especially when you are talking to students… our failures shape us and allow us to figure out who we are and what we want to do. I think our failures are as important than our successes.” (8:36)
“I am always trying to balance family with work, and my personal life with work, self-care and things like that.” (21:24)
“You will be lucky if you find a job that brings you such joy. There are so many people that don't love their jobs, and they don't love going to work, they just go to work.” (26:13)
“I always say its not about me, it is about the people I am trying to serve. And that to me is the secret to success, consistency and trying to solve the problem of the people I am trying to help.” (32:00)
“I just want to create information for veterinarians to share with pet owners and for pet owners to find that is reliable, good information. Because you and I can complain that there is no good information, or we can do something about it.” (36:40)
