Niche Podcasts in Vet Med at the Veterinary Innovation Summit 2023
What is it like being a podcaster in a niche inside a niche? Four different podcasters come together in this episode all with podcasts about the veterinary medical field have different styles and unique perspectives. The Veterinary Innovation Council helped us attend the Veterinary Innovation Summit organized by the North American Veterinary Community (NAVC), so we could learn and meet to talk about innovation in vet med and podcasting, which I like to think is a little innovative in the veterinary industry as well.
We talk about what we learned about the Veterinary Innovation Summit and why we are podcasters. We also talk about some podcasting strategies, so I hope this very special episode is useful to other podcasters who may not even be veterinary or animal-related.
This conversation still highlights a mission of the Vet Life Reimagined podcast and that’s about being curious about possibilities and finding things that allow you to thrive and enjoy what you do. One thing I love about podcasting is the many people I get to meet and the relationships I am building.
