Zonram Liao grew up as a parachute kid in California leaving high school with a 2.4 GPA, but something important happened where he knew that he could give back to the community that took care of him. Right after vet school at Ross, Dr. Liao helped build thriving start-up Banfield hospitals and recently opened his own clinic in his hometown called, Sunshine Veterinary Care. During the pandemic, he started over-the-counter health solutions (Wellnergy Pet) to support pet parents who couldn't get in to see the veterinarian.

This is a story of community, a circle of giving and finding ikigai in veterinary medicine. Ikigai is a Japanese term that means "a reason for being" or "a meaning for life". It can refer to something that brings joy, value, or fulfillment.
