The pet industry is booming, which means more competition than ever. It's tough to know how to position yourself, find your ideal clients, and build a business that truly reflects your values and expertise.

In this episode, we're thrilled to welcome our very first guest, Michelle Kline, founder of DogCoLaunch–a powerhouse in the pet care industry. Michelle's journey from accidental pet care business owner to sought-after pet biz coach is nothing short of inspiring.
