Episode notes

When Qadir Muhammad was a kid, he had a list of things he wanted to be when he grew up, including inventor, movie actor and veterinarian. Slowly but surely, as he grew up he eliminated careers from the list, until veterinarian was the last one standing. 

Qadir is now working in Chicago as a vet tech, and applying to vet schools now. He will also be the new host of this podcast!

He tells us about his time in Maui caring for monkeys, dealing with heavy conversations and tough clients, microchipping your pets and his side passion of photography.

What he's learned working in a vet’s office so far:

[15:40.48] I've always thought myself to be a patient man, but I'm learning that there are levels of patience that I have to discover. Working with animals, like you have to be patient with them in order for it to work. And you have to be patient with the clients too.
