What happens when the veterinary professionals struggling most aren’t lacking commitment but instead are quietly running on empty because they are working in systems that weren’t designed for them? In this thought-provoking VetFolio Voice podcast, Ron Sosa returns to join host Dr. Cassi for a candid conversation about building workplaces where everyone can thrive. Drawing on his book “Rewriting the Rules,” Ron unpacks how high performers mask their way to burnout, why time blindness and executive function challenges are often mistaken for laziness, and why psychological autonomy goes a step beyond psychological safety. The throughline is universal design: When you redesign a system to work for the neurodivergent people in it, you make it better for everyone. Honest and grounded in lived experience, this episode gives leaders the language for what has been draining their teams and a first step toward building something more human.
