Seth Williams is the mastermind behind Vet School Unleashed and a DVM who plays by his own rules. After graduating with a music business degree Seth went back to veterinary school when he realized his passion could bring him closer to a job he could never have dreamed of.

Tackling everything from looking on the positive side of a career change to the importance of work ethic and investing in your future, Seth is here today to share his perspective on the veterinary world. If you have ever been curious of what goes on behind the scenes of some of your favorite veterinary social media accounts or podcasts, are hoping to gain insight from those who have come before you, or just want to join in the conversation of sharing both your good and bad days in the field, this is the episode for you.

By having confidence in yourself and the work that you are doing you can help the animals you seek without taking everything so personally. Instead of living a life full of the status quo, which eventually will lead to boredom and burnout, Seth wants to encourage you to take each opportunity to stretch yourself and grow as a person.

You are not alone, and Seth is here to let you know that you shouldn’t be afraid to fail. Stocked with advice for everyone from a new grad to a seasoned clinic owner, Seth’s attitude and dedication to self-improvement is something you can’t miss.
