In this episode, host Brendan Howard interviews veterinary consultant Josh Vaisman. Josh Vaisman has been a member of the veterinary community since 1995 and in 2009 became the practice manager and owner of two small-animals veterinary practices.

Running the two practices, Josh found himself burnt out and made the decision to step away from practice management. Since then he has been on a mission to help veterinary professionals create positive work environments and avoid getting burnt out as he did. This is why, in 2018, Josh co-launched Flourish Veterinary Consulting. Flourish Veterinary Consulting helps veterinary professionals create positive work environments. Using positive psychology techniques, they aim to revolutionize the veterinary field by promoting self-sustaining, flourishing work environments. As well as being the co-founder of the company, Josh is their lead consultant and positive psychology practitioner.

Josh has a master’s degree in Applied Positive Psychology & Coaching psychology and has also gained certificates in Positive Psychology, Workplace Culture, and Building Effective Teams. In this episode, he discusses the philosophy of the four P’s in order to be a successful and positive leader in veterinary medicine.
