Solving Ownership TENSIONS
Unique to 3+DVM practices
You've built something most veterinarians never will. But at this size, new challenges show up that no one really prepares you for.
I make good money...
but it feels more fragile
than it should.
Revenue is flat. Costs are up.
Margins are tighter. And one unexpected event could set you back fast.
I’m growing...
but it’s not creating the freedom I expected.
More locations. More staff. More complexity. But somehow, more still lands on me, not less.
I have the numbers...
but I’m not confident in the next move.
Too much data. Too many opinions. Not enough clarity on what will actually move the needle.
That’s Why the Owner Exchange Exists.
Not for more numbers.
For more clarity.
Not for more content.
For better decisions.
Not for more noise.
For real perspective.
Not for more effort.
For more control.
Not to tell you what to do. But to make your real options clear so you can act when you’re ready.

What is the Owner Exchange?
It’s an inner circle of owners of 3+ DVM practices with revenue between $3 to $10 million and over.
The last thing a busy owner of a multi-DVM practice needs is another drain on their time…but the Owner Exchange is so much more than just another high level meeting. It’s an exclusive, peer-to-peer community for owners of larger practices who face a unique set of complexities and challenges.
For top performing owners this is not just another conversation, it’s the right conversation.
Who Is This For?
The Owner Exchange isn’t for everyone. It’s for the few who know they’ve outgrown the usual conversations.
Are you:
- At the top of your game but still asking yourself "What's Next?"
- Craving sharper insights, higher-level conversations, and a community of peers who challenge you to think bigger.
- Wanting to go beyond just looking at benchmarks —you want the power to define them
- Aware old playbooks are broken—and ready to help write new ones
- Wanting your legacy to be more than an amazing practice—you want to shift the trajectory of independent veterinary medicine
- Needing a place where people truly get what it means to be in your seat and will help you move the needle—personally and professionally.
How Does it Work?
There are 2 dimensions to the Owner Exchange –
Dimension 1
- Small, carefully curated Mastermind groups (PODS) facilitated by an experienced veterinary thought leader.
Dimension 2
- A private online Forum where owners can interact more asynchronously (posing challenges as they arise, seeking support or advice, searching the knowledge base, sharing intellectual property and insights…).

What Members Say
“The clarity I gained here changed how I lead, how I grow, and how I think about what comes next.”

— Dr. T. Whitman
“I see this as a private boardroom where sharp owners talk strategy — no fluff, no vendors, no noise.”
— Dr. L. Davis
“Now, instead of feeling like we are drowning in a pool of corporate veterinary hospitals, it feels like we are rising above them in a way we never thought possible, and that’s 100% down to how we tackle this together.”
— Dr. S. Gorman
“This community didn’t just grow my practice. It shifted how I see my role, my future, and what kind of life I can design around the business.”
— L. Trovato
If you own a multi-doctor practice and you’re not in this room, you’re probably working harder than you need to — and not just leaving money on the table, but making more sacrifices you have to. This makes ownership so much more fulfilling”
— Dr. A. Bhan
Interested in Joining?
This isn’t just any group, it’s a carefully curated owner led community where every member adds real value. To maintain the highest quality of connections and insights, we have a selective approval process to ensure true alignment among members.
A new group of just 12 practice owners is currently forming, and if your practice’s revenue exceeds $3 million annually, you could be a potential fit.
Take the next step and schedule a brief call to discuss whether this community is the perfect match. With availability extremely limited and the group filling up quickly, reach out right away to secure your spot.
To express your interest, complete the waiting list form below. This could turn out to be one of the best decisions of your professional career, and if it were a fit we will be thrilled to have you as a valued member.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I join the waiting list?
Easy! As soon as you apply for membership (join the waiting list) our team will contact you and set up a 15 minute call with one of our founders (Dr. Warren or Melani Seymour). On that call you will have an opportunity to ask questions and we will both get a sense of whether this is a good fit.
What types of veterinary practice owners join?
The Owner Exchange is open only to owners of larger practices (3+ DVM’s and grossing a minimum of $3M p.a.).
Practice owners who tend to find this community attractive tell us they did not get to where they are without aligning themselves with the most forward thinking and progressive movements at any given time so they tend by definition to be the real gamechangers and trend setters in vet medicine.

How is this different from other organizations?
Unlike typical groups, The Owner Exchange focuses exclusively on high-performing veterinary practice owners, providing meaningful, relevant, and confidential interactions.
Is there a time commitment required for participating in The Owner Exchange?
We understand how busy practice owners are so participation is flexible, working around you and the other members’ schedules to make sure engagement happens. That said, the minimum would be 1 x 90 minute Mastermind session per .month (hopefully the most valuable 90 minutes of each month!), and beyond that how much you contribute to offline chats, the Forum, additional Masterminds is entirely up to you).
What kind of support can I expect from this community?
You’ll find a safe space for honest discussions, advice on financial, HR, operational, profit, culture strategies, insights into industry trends, and most importantly the chance to spend time and develop real relationships with other top 5% practice owners.
The forum will also be moderated and questions answered / resources supplied as they arise.
If and when needed you can also request time to discuss more pressing matters with individual members or the founders if you believe this would be valuable.

How often do meetings or interactions occur?
We host regular meetups and discussions, but the community chat is active 24/7 online, allowing you to connect whenever it fits your schedule.
Will my business information remain confidential?
Absolutely. We operate on a premise of ‘radical confidentiality’. The OE is a safe space to share in a way that you may otherwise never feel comfortable doing, knowing that what is ‘shared in the room stays in the room’. As they say, the lessons we discuss can be shared, but the stories and meeting details can never be disclosed.
Can I invite other veterinary practice owners to join?
Yes! If you know other practice owners who would benefit from The Owner Exchange, feel free to share the opportunity. However, all potential members must meet the eligibility criteria and go through our approval process.
What topics are typically discussed?
Conversations range from growth strategies and staffing challenges to navigating industry changes and maximizing practice value. Members are encouraged to bring their own topics, ensuring discussions are always relevant and valuable.
What if I decide the community isn't the right fit for me?
There's no pressure or obligation. If you find it’s not what you expected, you can step away at any time—no hard feelings!
How is this different from other meetings, memberships, or professional involvement?
Unlike more typical groups that a successful owner may be involved with, the Owner Exchange is committed to bolder thinking and really moving the needle when independent practice owners ask “what’s next?”.
It is also focused exclusively on the larger practice - top performing owners are often highly connected but felt something was missing with their existing professional networks and the OE aims to fill that gap.

If this is a new group, how can there be Owner feedback?
The Owner Exchange is based on one aspect of its sister organization — DVMelite—which has had an incredibly successful veterinary Mastermind Community for over 15 years.
The members of the DVMelite community tend to be slightly smaller (1-3 DVM) practices but we asked owners of larger practices who had participated in those POD groups for insights and feedback!
