#10: Change, balance, and the doing the things you love. Dr James Greenwood

James Greenwood is a practicing veterinary surgeon living and working in Bristol in the UK. Originally from a farming family in Yorkshire, James inherited the family trait and devoted himself to a life spent in the company of animals. Since graduating from Bristol University in 2007, James has worked in mixed, equine and then for the last few years in companion animal practice.

Throughout his life he has shared his passion for science with his passion for art. Although taught originally to paint, James’ creativity has developed into a deep love for ceramics. He was invited to compete on the first series of BBC2’s 'The Great Pottery Throwdown’, which led to further television work, including the hit CBBC children's television series 'The Pets Factor'. He has also developed his own ceramics business, writes for various platforms and delivers talks on how his passion for science and art have influenced his life.

Gerardo spent the day with James and Oliver, the famous one-eyed Labrador, in their home. We had a great time picking his brain about his early work experiences, about finding himself out of his depth and dealing with imposter syndrome, and how he tries to achieve that ever-elusive balanced life. He tells us how he took stock of his career and how he made veterinary science work for him. We also talk about competence, confidence and courage, his life as a TV vet, and the absolute necessity of having things in your life that you love doing.

We had a lot of fun recording this episode, and I think you’ll have the same experience listening to James’ with his infectious enthusiasm.

Please enjoy - Dr James Greenwood.
