The Leadership Duel: Fair Wages and Healthy Practices with Josh Vaisman

What does “fair” pay actually mean in vet med And can a practice pay people what they deserve while still staying healthy and profitable In this episode, Rhys sits down with Josh Vaisman from Flourish Veterinary Consulting for a candid conversation that started with a spicy LinkedIn thread and turned into something way more useful. They unpack what positive leadership really is (hint: it is not fake smiles), why accountability is part of compassion, and how practice owners can think about technician wages in a way that respects both the humans and the business. They also get into what most people avoid The money The model The reality of what a practice can sustain And what has to change if we want wages to rise without burning teams out If you are a practice owner, manager, RVT, or anyone tired of the same debate with zero progress, this one is for you.
