Ep. 44: Shiny Object Syndrome: Entrepreneurial Chaos, Delegating, and Why Medical Records Suck!; Meet Drs. Phil Zeltzman and Jeremy Wentz

Dr. Jeremy Wentz has been a veterinarian for 20 years living in Eastern Pennsylvania.  He has owned three brick-and-mortar practices. The first was a 24-hour emergency/referral practice, the other 2 are brick-and-mortar GP practices, of which he sold two of them. He is currently enjoying owning only one practice and continuing to run Chronos with his partner and great friend, Dr. Phil Zeltzman. 

Dr. Phil Zeltzman is a board-certified surgeon in Pennsylvania. He used to be a GP and a house call vet in his former life. Today, he is a serial entrepreneur with a severe case of Shiny Object Syndrome, an international speaker, consultant, blogger, and a ridiculously long list of other fun stuff. He is also the co-founder of Chronos, which provides remote employees to vet practices nationwide.
