Introducing FlightPlan: Quick Consults — A New Podcast for Veterinary Leaders

Jan 2, 2026

In consulting, we hear a lot of great questions. 

Some are complex and strategic. Others are straightforward but urgent. Many don’t require a full playbook. They just need thoughtful input from people who have been there before. 

That’s what inspired FlightPlan: Quick Consults, a new podcast from Encore Veterinary Consulting.

A Different Kind of Podcast

Each episode of FlightPlan: Quick Consults is centered around just a few practical questions…the kind we hear every day while working with veterinary practices. 

Those questions are then posed in a round-robin style conversation to several experienced veterinary leaders. Each guest shares their perspective, shaped by years of leadership experience in the industry. 

Rather than a single “right answer,” listeners hear multiple approaches, ideas, and insights. Much like you would during a real consult with trusted peers. 

Why We Build It This Way

Veterinary leaders are busy, but they also value perspective. 

By keeping episodes short and focused, and by featuring multiple voices in each conversation, FlightPlan: Quick Consults delivers: 

  • Diverse viewpoints on a shared challenge 
  • Experience-backed insight from seasoned veterinary leaders 
  • Clear takeaways you can apply immediately 

No fluff. No long theory dives. Just practical perspective.  

Who It’s For

This podcast is designed for: 

  • Veterinary practice owners 
  • Practice managers and administrators 
  • Medical directors and leadership teams 

If you’re responsible for guiding people, decisions, or direction in a veterinary practice, FlightPlan: Quick Consults was built with you in mind.
