In this powerful episode of the Veterinary Business Podcast, host Don Adeesha is joined by Dr. Phil Richmond, a leading voice in veterinary workplace wellbeing and founder of Flourishing Phoenix Veterinary Consultants. Together, they explore why burnout can't be solved by self-care alone—and why we must shift the focus from fixing individuals to fixing systems.

Dr. Richmond shares his personal journey through burnout and recovery, the distinction between surface-level wellness programs and genuine cultural change, and how leaders can begin creating environments that enable teams to truly thrive. If you've ever felt overwhelmed despite doing "all the right things," this episode will hit home.
