Ep 50: Mike & Scott Remember Their First Time

Do you remember your firsts? Mike and Scott take a walk down memory lane as they remember their first time. They recount their first year at a veterinary practice and the important “stick-with-you-forever” lessons they learned as new, fresh-faced grads. Sit back and take a sip, whether you’re an old vet or a new grad who is about to head into their first day at a practice, this episode full of firsts is a gentle reminder that everyone starts somewhere, and that education is a never ending quest. (And yes, Mike and Scott share their first cocktails too.)
