In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Paul Repenning, a mixed animal veterinarian and Maryland native with a remarkable story to tell. At just 14, Paul headed west, beginning an unexpected journey that would eventually lead him back home—via a winding path through vet school and beyond.
We dive into his philosophy on work-life balance, shaped by years of experience in both conventional and deeply traditional settings. Paul also shares his unique perspective working within Amish and Mennonite communities, where veterinary care meets old-world values.
From unexpected detours to unforgettable encounters in the world of work horses and buggies, Dr. Repenning’s stories are equal parts insightful, heartfelt, and downright entertaining.
Here on Valeo Mentis, the goal is to shrink the veterinary world by connecting people together through stories and helpful resources. So listen closely and enjoy…
