Today’s guest is a remarkable individual whose career spans decades, continents, and disciplines. Meet Rick LeCouteur—a trailblazer in veterinary neurology and neurosurgery, an educator who has mentored generations of veterinarians, and a passionate advocate for wildlife conservation.

Rick’s story begins in rural Australia, where his love for animals was ignited. Over the years, his relentless pursuit of knowledge led him to teach and lecture in more than 70 countries, transforming lives and veterinary practices along the way. From pioneering advancements in veterinary neurology to developing innovative surgical techniques, Rick’s career is a testament to the power of curiosity and resilience.

In his “retirement”—a term he redefines as “what’s next?”—Rick has become an acclaimed wildlife photographer, conservationist, and children’s author. His latest book, Nasty Names Are Hurtful: An Australian White Ibis in the City, combines his passions for storytelling, education, and the natural world. Tackling themes of empathy, resilience, and environmental conservation, Rick continues to inspire the next generation of animal lovers and environmental stewards.

In this episode, we explore Rick’s incredible journey from rural beginnings to global impact. We discuss the evolution of veterinary medicine, the art of mastering multiple careers, and how a simple belief—“What’s next?”—can fuel a life of purpose and joy. Whether you’re a vet, a wildlife enthusiast, or simply curious about how one person can make such a lasting impact, this conversation is for you.

So, grab your favorite beverage, settle in, and prepare to be inspired by the one-and-only Rick LeCouteur.
