Episode 19. Jess Trichel (part two)
This episode of the podcast is part two of our conversation with Dr. Jess Trichel. Together, Matt and Jess discuss losing track of time, good ideas, and single-serving friends.
In this part two of a two part conversation with Dr. Trichel, we lean on Dr. Trichel's vast experience within veterinary lending and higher corporations to provide insight into where we are as an industry.
Jess Trichel is a veterinarian who, after her equine medicine internship, spent many years on the road teaching veterinary finance to us lowly vet students. After transitioning out of that role and working within a larger veterinary corporate entity, she has recently decided to see what this whole small animal medicine thing is all about. She is currently filling a variety of small animal relief / locum needs outside of Wilmington, NC. That is, whenever her horses allow her to leave the farm.
A great many topics were brought up in this episode.
The most telling conclusion is that Jess Trichel sure does read a lot.
Marcus Buckingham’s work and “red threads”
“If you are unsatisfied with the “quilt” of your work life, look for the “red threads”—the tiny elements that bring you joy—and determine how to weave more of those throughout your day.”
Here’s a Forbes article on ‘red threads’ or you can go to the source (Marcus Buckingham’s website).
Johann Hari: Lost Connections
“The book is part personal odyssey... and part scholarly reflection, where he sifts through the varying perspectives of scientists (on depression)”
Here is a review article for the book; and here is the book itself.
Daniel Pink: Drive
“The book is short, punchy, energetic and not subtle.
It is a counterblast against the idea that extrinsic motivation — often financial incentives — is more effective than intrinsic motivation, which is the desire that comes from within.”
Here is a review article for the book; and here is the book itself.
