How She Scaled to 12 Vets Without Burning Out | Veterinary Practice Growth

47 minutes

Most healthcare practice owners dream of growing — but very few talk honestly about what growth actually feels like. The 80-hour weeks. The burnout. The fear that scaling will break you before it pays off.

In this episode of the Financial Beast Podcast, Eric Miller sits down with Dr. Ashley Tuma, who did what most vets only talk about: she built a thriving 12-doctor veterinary practice — without sacrificing her sanity in the process.

She reveals the exact systems, hires, and mindset shifts that made it possible.
