In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Kelly Cooper. Dr. Cooper is working to empower veterinary leaders to achieve success through purpose, planning, and process. She's been a practice owner, worked in various leadership roles in corporate medicine, and worked as an associate via relief work. Her industry overview is unique, and we unpack each of those areas.

• Her update from VMX and VetPartners
• Her veterinary story from early practice ownership to feeling burned out and the various transitions.
• Why do so many veterinarians lack community and support?
• We discuss if too many veterinary students are being selected to be great students vs. great veterinarians.
• How private practice and corporate both have given her so much.
• The three traits she looks for in team members - self-awareness, coachability, and alignment w/mission and vision.
• Her journey to better understand the business of veterinary medicine and how she is passionate about that today.
• Why she wants to encourage ownership within veterinary medicine.
• And so MUCH MORE!
