Matt Evans: Chomping at the Bit

What happens when you mix the high-stakes world of equine veterinary medicine with the sharp wit of stand-up comedy? Step out of the everyday world and join hosts Trish and Rob MacGregor as they sit down with horse doctor, artist, and comedian Matt Evans. And take a journey into the hilarious, heartbreaking, and deeply unique life of a Texas equine vet. Inspired by the legendary British author James Herriot, Matt shares his journey from a non-horse background to co-founding a thriving practice outside of Austin, Texas. He opens up about overcoming imposter syndrome, the intricate realities of horse dentistry, and how writing his upcoming memoir, Chomping at the Bit, kept his creative gears turning when comedy clubs shut down during the pandemic. Beyond the laughs, this episode dives into a poignant, necessary conversation about compassion fatigue, the mental health crisis in the veterinary industry, and how shared humor serves as a powerful neurological tool for psychological resilience. https://www.simonandschuster.com/authors/Matt-Evans/265194806
