Rob talks with Dr. Jeff Waite, a fourth-generation veterinarian from Milledgeville, Illinois, about his family's long history in veterinary medicine and the practice he now helps lead. Jeff shares how the profession has changed, the pressures facing veterinarians today, and the importance of balancing the demands of the job with family and personal life. They also discuss mental health in the veterinary field, Jeff's internship program, and why giving future veterinarians real-world experience is so important. Rob and Jeff wrap up by talking about cattle, agriculture, and why having "skin in the game" gives veterinarians a deeper understanding of the farmers they serve.
