How VMG is like the Giant Redwood Tree

Most of you will recognize this wonderful image of the great California Red Wood trees. These are among the oldest and tallest trees in the world.

And when it comes to trees this is the perfect image of a tree. This is “treeness” in its greatest form. The maple, the pine, and even the oak…they’re fine as far as trees go. But they are not California Redwoods!
Here is the interesting thing about the Redwood trees – any tree expert (AKA arborists) will tell you that the physics of the giant redwood trees doesn’t make sense. In fact, it’s amazing they just don’t fall over because relative to the enormous size of these trees, the roots are too small and shallow below the surface to support their massive size above the surface.
And they are right, they would fall over, if they grew alone.
But these trees, under the surface, are interlocking their roots with the other trees and together making deep connections with one another, allowing them to grow to amazing heights and stand tall, even when the storms of life come.
They are literally holding each other up.
For me, this is the perfect analogy for what VMG is all about and how our membership is so much more than a collective of veterinary practice owners. VMG is a community entrenched in a culture of collaboration.
And the collaboration that is seeded across the VMG community grows and fosters a shared learning experience through their peer study group experiences, expanding every member’s intellectual capital and enabling them to achieve success in their practice.
