Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 9: Dr. Link Wellborn on Building Nine Practices, the Origins of VMG, and the Coming Capacity Crisis
Q: Why are you so bullish about independent veterinary practices?
Wellborn says experienced owners can partner with associates to buy smaller practices that corporate consolidators may overlook, provide back-office support, and gradually transfer ownership to younger veterinarians while sustaining the practice's legacy.
Episode 9: Dr. Link Wellborn on Building Nine Practices, the Origins of VMG, and the Coming Capacity Crisis
Q: What are the headwinds and tailwinds that you're seeing for people like yourself who are independent hospital owners?
Wellborn identifies remote initiation of the veterinarian-client-patient relationship, mid-level practitioner proposals, and impending excess capacity as concerns. He also points to affordability challenges and sees AI as a tool to reduce administrative work and improve efficiency.
Episode 7: Are You Leaving 70% of Your Medicine on the Table?
Q: What is the future of business education in veterinary schools and how can it be expanded?
There isn't a single global answer, but expanding funding, sharing curricula, and building demand among deans and boards are essential to broaden access to hands-on business education for more students.
Episode 2: Navigating Complexity: What Independent Practices Need to Thrive
Q: What keeps you up at night?
Professionally, Matt describes that ideas and projects keep his mind busy, but he stays focused by controlling what he can and recognizing that he often has many potential initiatives but limited time to pursue them. He emphasizes balancing creativity with clear execution and prioritization.
