Time capsule alert! Back at the end of May, right before the Synergie Leadership Summit, we sat down to record our thoughts, our excitement, and our plans for what we’d be sharing with other veterinary leaders. From team cohesion and consistency to training tools and culture building, this episode captures us in full “pre-summit hype mode.”

Here’s the kicker: life got busy, and we never hit publish. 🙈 But instead of letting it collect dust, we’re sharing it now—because the tools and strategies we talk about are just as relevant today as they were back then.

And stay tuned… we’ll also be dropping a follow-up episode with our “after the summit” reflections. Spoiler: we learned a ton, had some unexpected takeaways, and maybe even survived a little chaos along the way.

Let’s be real: brachycephalic pups are adorable little gremlins who can’t breathe for shit. 🤷‍♀️ This week, Amanda and Dr. Olson talk about what’s going on inside those squished-up snoots, the surgeries that actually help, and why timing is everything. 

Bonus: plenty of side snorts, jokes about grandpas in recliners, and the phrase “dog nose job” said way too many times.
