This episode on Vet Life Reimagined is with guest, Registered Veterinary Technician Brian Goleman who has found a niche in veterinary bandaging. He went from zoo keeper to emergency technician to the surgery service where he became a bandaging expert, but he noticed that there was no great continuing education on bandaging, so he started his own called Brian’s Bandages. We talk about something really special that you can do with bandaging that will 
make the veterinary staff more engaged, wow your clients, and increase client compliance.

If you are close to the veterinary industry at all, you are aware of the transition of veterinary business models to veterinary consolidation. What’s going on with veterinary consolidators, and are they all the same? What about independent practices is special and needs to be preserved? What could be improved? 
To answer these questions, Vet Life Reimagined invites, Dr. Bill Wagner. Bill graduated from Tufts Veterinary School in 2016 and already early in his veterinary career has experienced quite a few different paths in veterinary medicine. He started a veterinary company called Doc Wags that makes custom pet harnesses to hold medical needs. He also is the co-founder of Associated Veterinary Partners (AVP), a very different veterinary practice consolidation model. 

In this episode,
What makes you unique as a veterinarian? Why would someone request YOU specifically to be their veterinarian? How some entrepreneurial endeavors do not go well and what to avoid.How Associated Veterinary Partners is taking a different approach to vet practice consolidation.

Have you ever had trouble finding where you fit in? Or maybe found it difficult to be yourself? I have and so has our guest today. Our guest is Dr. Bill Tancredi. We met at VMX this year as we were both invited to a small dinner that Instinct Science put together. And we’ve become really good friends. If you know of Bill’s writing in his SubStack called Doc’s FIRE, you may find him a little ... direct in his writing style.  But Bill and I get along so well because we love to learn, love the veterinary profession, and both strive to do things that matter in this world. 

No matter the challenges we face including people who disagree with us or finding a place where we fit in, when you find the thing worth fighting for, you find your purpose. Now, Bill owns a solo doctor practice, which also won a NAVC Vetty award last year, which he shares how they achieved. In this episode, we talk about finding your authentic self and how there’s no such thing as a one-fits-all leadership style.
