In this episode of The Bend, I sit down with Michael Raphael, founder and CEO of IndeVets, to talk about how his winding career path—from investigative journalism to veterinary staffing—led to a mission that’s reshaping the veterinary industry.
Michael shares how his early passion for journalism (he was even nominated for a Pulitzer!) gave way to a surprising turn into business and eventually, animal health. Through personal experiences—like working the front desk at a veterinary hospital—he discovered just how deep the staffing challenges ran in our profession and how critical it is to support not just pets, but the people who care for them.
We dive into the importance of meaningful relief staffing, why leadership and communication matter more than ever, and how burnout and lack of work-life balance are hurting our teams—and what we can do about it.
Whether you’re a practice owner, veterinary professional, or someone who’s just navigating your own career bends, you’ll find so much insight (and heart) in this conversation. Michael’s story reminds us all that failure can be a turning point, and that the right mission can grow from the most unexpected places.
