Shelter Spaces, Community Care, and Fear Free Thinking with Tori Williams

Thu, 20 Aug 2026 22:07:22 -0300

Today on The Bend, I’m sitting down with my longtime friend Tori Williams for a conversation about shelter work, veterinary operations, community care, and the people who keep showing up for animals every day. Tori brings more than a decade of experience in veterinary and shelter operations, with a heart for building better systems, stronger teams, and calmer experiences for both animals and staff. She has served as Chief Operating Officer at Fear Free, Director of Shelter Veterinary Services at Humane Colorado, Hospital Director at Richmond SPCA, and Founder of Lemonade Coaching and Consulting, where she helped organizations create practical strategies that reduce fear, anxiety, and stress.

Now, as Head of Shelters for Casco Pet, Tori is helping innovate shelter housing solutions that allow pets to show more natural behavior, experience less stress, and ultimately have a better chance at adoption. In this episode, we talk about how far shelter medicine has come, why helping families keep pets matters, how space and systems affect both animals and people, and what we can each do within our own area of influence to make this profession more sustainable.

Curiosity, Conservation, and the Bends That Shape Us with Dr. Rick LeCouteur

Fri, 07 Aug 2026 08:00:00 -0300

In this episode of The Bend, I’m joined by Dr. Rick LeCouteur for a conversation that moves through veterinary medicine, mentorship, curiosity, communication, conservation, teaching, and the many unexpected bends that shape a meaningful life. Rick has lived so many chapters in this profession, from clinical work and academia to neurology, wildlife photography, children’s books, and veterinary expeditions, and I loved hearing how each part of his journey connected back to animals, people, and purpose.

We talked about the importance of staying curious, learning from mentors, listening well, choosing compassion, and remembering why this profession matters even on the hard days. Rick’s stories are thoughtful, funny, honest, and full of wisdom for anyone in veterinary medicine who has ever wondered what might be waiting around the next bend.

Data, Gratitude, and the People Behind the Practice With Jeremy Halperin and Biswa Prakash

Fri, 24 Jul 2026 00:52:39 -0300

Today on The Bend, I’m sitting down with Jeremy Halperin and Biswa Prakash, co founders of MeasureVet, for a conversation about data, technology, and the people doing the real work inside veterinary practices. We talk about how practice data can move beyond reports and dashboards and become something much more useful: clarity that helps leaders make better decisions, recognize strong performance, and support their teams in a more meaningful way.

What I appreciated most about this conversation is that it kept coming back to people. Data is not just about numbers. It can help us see the effort, care, communication, and follow through that often go unnoticed, especially from team members who are making a real difference every day. This is a great episode for veterinary leaders, managers, data curious folks, and anyone who believes that everybody in the practice matters. Go listen or watch, and let me know what stood out to you.

Building, Leading, and Letting Go in Vet Med With Dr. Brian Bourquin

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 13:00:00 -0300

On this episode of The Bend, I’m joined by Dr. Brian Bourquin for a thoughtful and honest conversation about one of the biggest bends a practice owner may ever face: building a practice, growing a team, and eventually deciding when it is time to sell. Brian shares his journey from opening Boston Veterinary Clinic as a de novo practice to growing it into a five location network, all while staying deeply committed to culture, wellness, patient care, and the people who made the practice what it became.

We talk about the emotional side of practice ownership, the responsibility of leading a team, the realities of selling to a larger organization, and what veterinary medicine needs as it moves forward. Brian brings so much heart, humor, and wisdom to this conversation, including a reminder that this is still a people business built around veterinary medicine. Go give it a listen, and share this episode with a practice owner or leader who may need to hear it.

Taking the Fear Out of Pet Nutrition with Dr. Amy Farcas

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 12:19:11 -0300

In this episode of The Bend, I’m sitting down with Dr. Amy Farcas, a board certified veterinary nutritionist and the founder of Full Circle Pet Nutrition, for a conversation about one of the trickiest topics in veterinary medicine: pet food. Amy has spent her career helping bridge the gap between clinical nutrition, veterinary teams, and the pet owners who are trying so hard to make the right choices. We talk about why nutrition conversations can feel so overwhelming, how marketing can muddy the waters, and why many clients are not looking for a quick answer as much as they are looking for a trusted guide.

What I loved about this conversation is that Amy brings so much clarity, patience, and real world understanding to a topic that can easily become emotional or confusing. She reminds us that nutrition is not just about food. It is also about trust, communication, the bond people have with their pets, and helping clients feel confident instead of judged. If you have ever stood in the pet food aisle wondering what really matters, or if you work in veterinary medicine and have felt the tension around nutrition conversations, this episode is one you will want to hear.

Protect Your Body, Protect Your Career: Vet Med Durability With Aaron Shaw, OTRL, CHT, CSCS

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 00:39:13 -0300

Today on The Bend, I’m sitting down with Aaron Shaw, OTRL, CHT, CSCS to talk about something we don’t address nearly enough in vet med: the physical demands of the job and how they quietly feed stress, burnout, and early exits from the profession. Aaron is the founder of Project Vets and the creator of the Durable Vet Blueprint, and I love how he reframes our work as “veterinary athletes” who deserve real preparation, not just pushing through pain.

In this episode, we get practical about durability, the kind that helps you stay strong physically and emotionally while still doing what you love. We talk ergonomics that are hiding in plain sight, small changes that reduce wear and tear, and why taking care of your body is not separate from taking care of your mind. Go listen or watch, and tell me your biggest takeaway.

A People Business: Why Communication Skills Matter More Than Ever in Vet Med With Lori Kogan PHD

Fri, 22 May 2026 01:45:32 -0300

On today’s episode of The Bend, I’m joined by Lori Kogan, PhD, licensed psychologist, professor at Colorado State University, and a true leader in the human animal bond space. Lori’s work sits right at the intersection of what we all live every day in veterinary medicine: the people part.

We talk about why vet med is absolutely a people business, what schools are doing differently with admissions, and the real-world skills that matter most once you’re in practice (communication, emotional intelligence, teamwork, and resilience). And we go deep on something we don’t talk about enough: client aggression. Lori shares research showing how common verbal abuse is, how often physical threats happen, and why this impacts our teams long after the moment is over. We also dig into what actually helps: de-escalation training, leadership support, clear policies, and building systems that protect your people. If you’ve ever gone home replaying a tough client interaction, this conversation will make you feel seen, and it’ll give you practical ways to think about what to do next. Listen to the episode now and tell me what resonated most. And if this one sparks something for you, share it with a teammate who needs it too.

Trauma Informed Veterinary Care Cannabis Guidance and the Human Animal Bond with Dr. Casara Andre

Thu, 07 May 2026 23:56:47 -0300

In this episode of The Bend, Debbie Boone sits down with Dr Casara Andre DVM CVMA to explore the fascinating overlap between animal behavior, human stress, and the ripple effects of trauma across the whole family unit. From working dog medicine and acupuncture to massage, cannabis education, and the growing conversation around emotional contagion, Dr Andre shares how trauma informed care helps pets feel safer, improves outcomes, and supports the veterinary teams who carry so much every day.

They also talk candidly about what happens when well meaning pet parents try cannabis without guidance, why harm reduction and simple journaling can protect pets and budgets, and how better communication can untangle even the most challenging cases. If you work in vet med, support clients, or love a pet who struggles with fear, anxiety, or chronic pain, this conversation will leave you with practical ideas and a lot of hope.

Dr. Jill Clark, Rhonda Bell, and Judy Rose Lanier share the real story behind why we created an association for veterinary receptionists and CSRs, and what we are building to support the people who carry the client experience every single day.

We talk about training, recognition, creating safe community, and why this role deserves real professional development and a clear career path.

Beyond Burnout: Stress, Moral Injury, and the Veterinary Team with Dr. Gershon Alaluf

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 22:24:21 -0300

In this episode of The Bend, I sit down with Dr. Gershon Alaluf, veterinarian, entrepreneur, and doctoral candidate at Pepperdine, to talk about what is really driving stress, burnout, and career disillusionment in veterinary medicine. Gershon has owned and operated hospitals for more than two decades, and now he is digging into the deeper layers of psychological strain, emotional labor, and the body’s stress response that are shaping our workforce in real time.

We get honest about why the word burnout has become a catch all, why client facing emotional labor is such a heavy load, and how concepts like moral injury can help explain what so many teams are feeling but cannot always name. If you have ever thought, “The numbers look fine, but something is not,” this conversation will help you see what is happening under the surface, and what leaders can do next.

The Bend Podcast With David Servodidio

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 20:24:54 -0300

I am excited to share this episode of The Bend with my guest, David Servodidio, CEO and Co-Founder of VetVerifi. If you have ever worked the front desk, you already know the pain of last minute vaccine requests, frantic pet parents trying to board in two days, and the constant chase for records. David and I talk about how VetVerifi is helping remove that friction by connecting the dots between veterinary clinics and the places pets go every day like grooming, daycare, and boarding so care can be verified faster and clients are not stuck in panic mode. We also talk startup reality in a profession that is busy and protective of its data for good reason. David shares how they approached integrations, why trust and security matter, and what entrepreneurs should focus on when they are testing a new idea.

David shares how a major life pivot brought him from the world of finance and tech back to Michigan, and why he chose to put his energy into an industry that has real heart and real stakes.

We also dig into the tough stuff that teams face every day, especially the money conversations, the emotional load at the front desk, and the reality that clinics do not have time for extra steps. David talks about literally putting on scrubs to shadow in clinics, what he learned from the people who do this work, and how Snout is helping practices offer wellness plans in a way that is simpler, smoother, and more sustainable for both teams and pet parents.

The Bend Podcast With Meghan Burns, DVM

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 18:46:46 -0400

In this episode of The Bend, I sit down with Dr. Meghan Burns, veterinarian and fractional veterinary growth strategist, to talk about what is really happening behind the numbers in veterinary practice. Meghan shares what she is seeing across both independent hospitals and corporate groups: revenue that looks “okay” on paper, teams that feel exhausted, and a quiet softening of retention that does not show up until it is already affecting stability and practice value. We dig into why most growth problems are not actually marketing problems, but misalignment between demand, operations, and economics, and how to think differently about new clients, visit frequency, and compliance.

We also talk about the power of CSRs as the true brand of the hospital, the value of networking outside your usual bubble, and what practice owners should focus on if they are even thinking about selling in the next few years. Meghan walks us through early warning signs to watch for, simple ways to make revenue more repeatable, and how to design a client experience that attracts and keeps the right pet owners for the medicine you want to practice. If your numbers look fine but something feels off, this conversation is for you.

I’m excited to share a new episode of The Bend with my guest, Michael Cody, Founder of ReviewTree. Michael has more than 35 years of experience helping businesses from major healthcare systems like Cleveland Clinic and Sloan Kettering to thousands of local practices and small businesses. He has seen every phase of marketing from yellow pages and phone books to social media, pay per click, and online reviews and he has helped save over $50 million on marketing that did not work.

In this conversation, we talk about why customer experience is now the foundation of effective marketing in veterinary medicine. Michael and I dig into how reviews, word of mouth, and everyday client interactions shape your reputation long before any ad can, and what veterinary teams can do to create consistent, trust building experiences that support both great medicine and healthy practice growth.

The Bend Podcast With Donna Recupido, CVPM

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 22:20:00 -0400

In this episode of The Bend, I sit down with my longtime friend and colleague Donna Recupido, CVPM, a seasoned veterinary professional, hospital administrator, and certified health and mindset coach to talk about what really happens when life and work knock you flat… and how you come back stronger.

Donna shares how she “drank the Kool-Aid” of veterinary medicine starting as a receptionist, moved into leadership in general practice and specialty medicine, and what it was like to walk into a new hospital where no one even knew she’d been hired. We talk about catching embezzlement, navigating messy leadership dynamics, the fear of leaving a six-figure job when you’re the only one paying the bills, and being told “it’s just stress” while your body is clearly saying otherwise.

We also dig into why women in veterinary medicine need strength, boundaries, and support more than guilt and hustle, and how small, realistic changes in movement, food, and daily habits can protect your health and your career long-term. This conversation is part career story, part wellness wake-up call, and part love letter to the humans who keep veterinary practices running. If it resonates, hit subscribe, leave a comment about your own “bend in the road,” and share this episode with a friend in Vet Med who needs to hear they’re not alone.

The Bend Podcast With Shannon Cameron, CVPM

Thu, 15 Jan 2026 00:26:54 -0400

In this episode of The Bend, I sit down with someone most of you don’t see on the big conference stages, but absolutely should: Shannon Cameron, CVPM. Shannon is a pricing and profitability strategist with over 30 years in veterinary medicine, starting as a kennel kid and working her way up to technician, manager, and now consultant with Profit Solver. We talk about how to stop guessing at your fees, stop chasing “the guy down the road,” and start pricing based on your actual costs so you can pay your team fairly and still sleep at night.

Shannon shares real-world stories from the trenches, like helping a beloved, AAFP/A AHA-level practice swing from negative profitability to positive in just six months by adjusting only a slice of their fee schedule. We dig into why underpricing services hurts your team, your clients, and your future sale value; how to think differently about labor, COGS, and “the COVID blip”; and why independent practices are more agile (and more powerful) than they think. We also wade into uncomfortable but important territory: embezzlement, time theft, payroll taxes, and the danger of trusting without verifying.

If you’re an owner or manager who secretly “hates numbers,” this conversation is for you. My hope is that after listening, you’ll feel less intimidated by your P&L, more confident in raising fees with integrity, and more committed to leveraging both your people and your tech to build a practice that’s financially healthy and emotionally sustainable.

I am so excited to share this episode of The Bend where I spoke with the incredible Sarajenie S. Smith, MS IMC, M Ed.

Sarajenie is a multi-hyphenate marketing executive, content creator, and founder of SheCarries2 and Paw Bleu, two beautiful lifestyle and pet centric brands rooted in soft luxury, travel, and authentic storytelling.

In this conversation, we talk about creativity, resilience, ADHD, pet lifestyle, soft living, and how she turns real life into meaningful content that actually serves people. It is honest, warm, and full of the kind of inspiration that makes you believe you can build a life that fits you, not the other way around. If you love pets, branding, or stories of women carving their own path, this is an episode you will not want to miss.

The Bend Podcast With Adam Wysocki

Wed, 03 Dec 2025 19:17:20 -0400

Today on The Bend, I had the pleasure of sitting down with someone who’s quickly becoming an invaluable resource in veterinary medicine: Adam Wysocki, founder of Vet Software Hub. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed choosing practice software (and who hasn’t?), this episode is for you. Adam and I dive into the challenges, myths, and must-ask questions surrounding software selection, from evaluating workflows to preparing for demos to avoiding costly pitfalls with integrations and tech stacks. His insight comes from decades in software engineering and fintech, plus a whole lot of time spent inside veterinary practices listening to what teams actually need.

We also talk about the future of AI, data ownership, integrations, training, hardware compatibility, client communication, and how to make technology actually work for your team instead of against it. This conversation is practical, candid, and full of the kind of wisdom that could truly change how practices make technology decisions. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it. And if you’ve ever wished someone would help you navigate the software maze, Adam is absolutely someone you’ll want to hear from.

The Bend Podcast with Adam Greenbaum 2

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 21:28:24 -0300

On this week’s episode of The Bend, I had the pleasure of speaking with Adam Greenbaum—visionary marketer, tech founder, and passionate advocate for the veterinary profession.

From rescuing dogs to reshaping how veterinary clinics show up online through WhiskerCloud, Adam has spent over a decade using technology to serve over 10,000 veterinary professionals and millions of pet parents. But in 2024, his journey took a deeply personal turn with the loss of his beloved dog, Baxter.

That experience inspired the creation of Love, Baxter, a first-of-its-kind support system for grieving pet parents. In our conversation, Adam shares how Baxter’s legacy now lives on through a platform that offers 24/7 resources, a national directory of end-of-life care providers, grief support, and the world’s largest pet memorial store.

We dive into Adam’s life, his work, and his mission to make sure no pet parent ever faces loss alone.

The Bend Podcast With Michael Raphael

Thu, 03 Jul 2025 03:50:36 -0300

In this episode of The Bend, I sit down with Michael Raphael, founder and CEO of IndeVets, to talk about how his winding career path—from investigative journalism to veterinary staffing—led to a mission that’s reshaping the veterinary industry. Michael shares how his early passion for journalism (he was even nominated for a Pulitzer!) gave way to a surprising turn into business and eventually, animal health. Through personal experiences—like working the front desk at a veterinary hospital—he discovered just how deep the staffing challenges ran in our profession and how critical it is to support not just pets, but the people who care for them. We dive into the importance of meaningful relief staffing, why leadership and communication matter more than ever, and how burnout and lack of work-life balance are hurting our teams—and what we can do about it. Whether you’re a practice owner, veterinary professional, or someone who’s just navigating your own career bends, you’ll find so much insight (and heart) in this conversation. Michael’s story reminds us all that failure can be a turning point, and that the right mission can grow from the most unexpected places.

Thu, 19 Jun 2025 00:57:22 -0300

🎙️ A new episode of The Bend is out now, and this one’s close to my heart. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Marc Daniel, a veterinary practice owner who’s leading with compassion, integrity, and purpose. After witnessing firsthand how corporate ownership impacted a once-thriving hospital, Dr. Daniel made the bold decision to start fresh. He bought a struggling practice right before the pandemic hit—and transformed it into a thriving, people-first environment where the team truly comes first. We talk about how he built a culture rooted in care, why he covers 100% of his team’s health insurance, how eliminating weekend shifts changed everything, and how his faith and values guide every decision. From beekeeping to boundary-setting, his story is a reminder that veterinary medicine doesn’t have to burn you out—it can lift you up.

The Bend Podcast With Dr. Kate Boatwright

Wed, 21 May 2025 23:44:13 -0300

In this episode of The Bend, I get to chat with someone I truly admire—Dr. Kate Boatwright! Kate is a vet, writer, speaker, and all-around advocate for mentorship and realistic veterinary care (aka spectrum of care). She’s also one of the kindest, most thoughtful voices in our profession.

We talk about her journey—from dreaming of oceanography as a kid to becoming a vet, hitting burnout, and finding her groove in mentoring others. She shares the ups, the downs, and some very relatable “been there” moments (like mistaking an anal gland abscess for a tumor—hey, we’ve all had those!).

We also dive into how important it is to support new grads, the power of honest conversations with clients, and why it's okay to try, stumble, and keep going. Oh—and she’s a Disney race runner too, so we had a little fun with that!

If you’ve ever questioned your path, needed a little encouragement, or just wanted to feel less alone in this crazy world of vet med—this one’s for you.

The Bend Podcast With Maria Morgan, CVPM

Thu, 08 May 2025 00:15:15 -0300

In this episode of The Bend, I’m thrilled to sit down with fellow CVPM and kindred spirit, Maria Morgan. Maria and I connected over a LinkedIn post, and I quickly realized she was someone who absolutely had to be on the show.

We talk about her unexpected career path—from receptionist in her uncle’s veterinary clinic to co-owning a successful small animal practice in Orange County, California, and now launching Passppaw, a smart new workflow solution to help veterinary teams navigate the often-overwhelming process of international health certificates. And y’all—it’s a game changer.

Maria shares how her time at the Ritz-Carlton shaped her deep understanding of hospitality and how those same client-service principles now influence her approach to veterinary care. She’s passionate about empowering her team (especially CSRs!) and delivering exceptional experiences for clients and their pets.

Whether you’re a practice owner, CSR, or just someone who’s ever wrestled with the headache of an international health certificate, I promise this episode will inspire you to embrace the “bends” in your own journey.
