In this episode, Dr. Itsuki Mueller shares her inspiring journey to becoming a veterinarian — from her childhood on a rice farm on the outskirts of Osaka, to emigrating to New Zealand, earning a PhD in Veterinary Anatomy, and becoming a mother along the way. It was her drive to solve a key challenge for her clients — and her willingness to invest in herself — that ultimately transformed her into a businesswoman and her own boss.
