In this episode of the Smarter Vet Financial Podcast, Tom sits down with Dr. Bob Murtaugh—founding dean of Rocky Vista University College of Veterinary Medicine, boarded internist and criticalist, and long-time leader in both academia and corporate practice.

Dr. Murtaugh shares how saying “yes” to unexpected opportunities—from running a teaching hospital in his 20s to helping scale a hospital group from 15 to 350 locations—shaped his career and impact on vet med. They dive into what it really takes to scale without losing culture, how to navigate consolidation with an open mind, and why the best corporate or independent fit comes down to values, leadership, and communication.

You’ll also hear his perspective on “preferment” instead of retirement, why veterinarians are spelled L-E-A-D-E-R, and the soft skills that matter most if you want a fulfilling, financially strong career in veterinary medicine.
