436: You can do anything, but not everything: How values-driven veterinarians find joy now

I love that.

Yeah.

I love that so much.

I think, uh, another value that we should talk about to a lot of listeners is time.

I think I really, really honor and cherish the T word more than ever, uh, just because no matter what we do for a living, I ...

You hear it all the time, "I'm so busy.

I'm so busy." I feel like you should never be too busy for those that you love and care about.

I think everything else can wait, you know? And I just ...

Right? I just feel like sometimes you get so stuck in the weeds on things, and I, I need to kind of say to myself, "Adam, is this worth it?" Like, I can stop what I'm doing, this, this meeting, and then reach out to a person or visit them.

I'll share a story with you.

You mentioned your circles and friends and everything, and I think it was so important for me as a veterinarian to have my gym family.

And for 20-plus years I've always had a gym family.

Aw.

And they, they check in on each other.

We're, we're ...

We hold each other accountable to check in, family, life, mental health, all of the things.

And we recently lost one of our gym family members a few days ago.

Mm.

Tragically too, and it really crushed all of us.

But you know what, though? We're all there for each other, you know?

Yes.

I've just gotten texts just before we got on.

Just got a couple texts, "Adam, just checking in on you.

How you doing? You doing okay?"

Aw.
