About this listen

 “I had to withdraw all my subjects.”Jack Berry has changed my life. There have been challenges in his life many of us will never understand.He didn’t have a stable upbringing and he dropped out of school in year 8.When he was 15 years old, he looked up at the ceiling and had an epiphany. “I wanted to do something with my life.” He opened his QTAC book and saw Vet Science OP1. He didn’t know what a vet did, but he wondered “What is the kind of person that would get an OP1”. From that moment Jack decided he would take care of himself, would be dedicated, work hard for something that is purposeful, and wanted to make something of himself. He wanted a challenge.For Jack, it was vet OR a life of no purpose. A life of no substance. A life that was making him unhappy.Now he has a purpose and a passion… for lower-income communities and servicing people who would otherwise have no hope.Listen to Jack’s journey and flip your perspectives on your Vet life. We also cover:
  • Social anxiety and whether what we reflect onto others is what we want to reflect on them.
  • Jack explains why he doesn’t feel safe at vet school.
  • That the key to loving the vet industry is to stop breaking it down in the first place.
  • The importance of having clear personal goals. “Without a clear goal, I wouldn’t have gotten out of bed when I was 15.”
  • Looking back on your challenges and using them as a source of pride to know that you CAN do vet science.
Jack feels a deep sense of value by saying “I’m here with you guys”. I get a deep sense of value by saying “Jack is here with us”.Enjoy this ep,TCV <3
