Show Notes

I had a chance to sit down and talk with Dr. Ben Schultz at this recent Inventures 2023. Ben is a large animal vet and recent graduate of the Central Alberta Regional Innovation Network's Catalyst Incubator.

Large animal veterinary medicine is a fascinating practice that Ben describes as being a fertile ground for innovation.

I hope you enjoy our talk. Welcome to Shift!
