In this eye-opening episode of the Smarter Vet Financial Podcast, hosts Tom Seeko and CJ Burnett sit down with Dr. William Anton, founder of CEOeffectiveness.com, for a powerful discussion on personal development and the often-overlooked importance of mental health—especially among high-performing professionals.

Dr. Anton challenges the outdated stigma around therapy and psychological coaching, describing it as the “emotional equivalent of graduate school” for those seeking to live and lead more effectively. He unpacks how early life experiences shape the way we see ourselves and the world—and how many of those beliefs quietly limit our potential.

From redefining mental health beyond clinical labels to embracing a holistic, strengths-based approach to growth, this episode dives deep into what it truly means to become your best self. Whether you're a practice owner, team leader, or simply striving to grow, this is a must-listen for anyone ready to confront their inner barriers and unlock lasting personal and professional effectiveness.
