The Greatest Profession
The Greatest Profession is an interview-style investigation of the humanity of veterinary medicine. In each episode, our host, Matt Asciutto, has a conversation with a different veterinary professional he has met along the way. Together they examine what leads us to this field, how we are surviving, what we think comes next, and whatever other philosophical meanderings that may inspire them. Join us to find out if this truly is The Greatest Profession.

34. Unapologetically Unbalanced, ft. Christine Staten
Monday Feb 05, 2024
Monday Feb 05, 2024
On this episode of the podcast we are joined by almost OBGYN and college student landlord, Dr. Christine Staten. Matt and Christine discuss word problems, Halloween costumes, and what a ‘switch box’ is. Dr. Staten is the owner of Adobe Veterinary Center in Tuscon, Arizona and Dr. Veterinary MBA herself.
Over the course of conversation we meandered through many topics such as community, creating a business based on values, how to run efficient team meetings, and the beauty of collaboration.
In the conversation Matt found himself thinking “man, I would work at this place...” - but that was met immediately by extreme anxiety of resistance to being employed by others. So, turns out, even in the most ideal situation, Matt is like “nope - don’t you dare hand me a W2!”
