  • Not just for management!

    Love the podcast. Each episode is so helpful and provides guidance and clarity on the struggles I face as an associate vet in GP. Advice is always sound, kind, explained thoroughly, and prioritizes the business and the people. Wish I could have Steph and Andy in my back pocket everyday - I’m not in management but still fall into a leader position. This podcast helps me understand the management team, the support staff, and supports my position as someone in the middle.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

419 - I'm a Veterinary Team Lead, Where Do I Go From Here?
Q: How do you figure out whether practice management is right for you, and what other career paths exist for someone who wants leadership and education without giving up patient care?
There are many routes beyond the traditional manager track. Start with self-work to identify what you love, what you're good at, and what you don't enjoy. Build a portfolio through coaching, training, speaking, and volunteering. Seek on-site education roles, coaching opportunities, and part-time ventures that align with your strengths, then grow from there as opportunities arise.
417 - How Much Financial Transparency Do Support Staff Need?
Q: How should an associate ask for more financial visibility without sounding accusatory?
Frame the request around helping the practice improve, tailor the ask to the owner's motivators, and start with a smaller, incremental data point before requesting full P&L access.
416 - Planning to Exit on Your Own Terms
Q: What practical steps can a vet take today to prepare for a future sale or transition?
Start by systematizing leadership roles, communicate financial and service metrics with the team, encourage younger vets through management training and CE, and schedule vacations to test delegation. This builds readiness and preserves legacy when the time comes to exit.
416 - Planning to Exit on Your Own Terms
Q: Dan, what do sunsets look like for different vets in practice ownership, and how do you approach those two archetypes?
Sunsets vary: some owners want to stay involved and mentor, while others want to fade away. The approach is to progressively delegate medical director duties, empower a capable successor, and align emotionally and financially so the owner remains engaged at the right level without controlling every decision.
404 - How To Let People Go When The Team Likes Them
Q: How quickly should you move from announcing the termination to sharing the plan for moving forward?
Move promptly enough to curb gossip and negativity, but allow brief space to validate emotions before outlining the steps and schedule for coverage and changes.
