Can you become a better leader and learn something from your pets?  Absolutely!  Shawna Schuh is an executive coach and expert in the pet industry.  She is also the founder of Women in the Pet Industry and is a Certified speaking Professional, and Master Neuro-Linguistic Practitioner. She also owns a horse boarding facility and lives in rural western Oregon with horses, dogs, and one old cat.  

Women in the Pet Industry Network was a passion project for Shawna where her mission was to unite women pet leaders worldwide. This is how I came to know Shawna personally and to call her a friend.  Sometimes I truly believe we were twins separated at birth we have so many common interests and beliefs.    Read more

What an interesting show!  Our guest was Caleb Gilmore, President of Suzie’s Pet Treats.  Suzie’s was co-founded by Richard Squire and Caleb Gilmore.  Richard was a family friend of the Gilmores and entrepreneur who encouraged Caleb to leave college and pursue a career as an independent business owner.  Caleb took the leap and has never looked back.  

Suzie was Richard’s dog and the inspiration for Suzie’s Pet Treats.  After Richard had a back operation and some experience with prescription opioids, he discovered that DBD provided relief from the pain and inflammation.  Suzie was aging and having difficult getting up sometimes.  Richard started giving her a CBD treat and the results were amazing – for both of them!    Read more

How do you avoid buying pet products that contain toxic chemicals?  I asked myself this question recently and found our show’s guest, Leigh Matthews with LeafScore.  LeafScore is a website devoted to fighting climate change by helping consumers make greener purchasing decisions.  This has never been more important than now.   

At LeafScore, they believe that quality follows sustainability.  As a result, generally the best and longest lasting products are almost always made with sustainable, natural, nontoxic and organic ingredients and materials.  When you purchase from companies that support the planet, you “vote with your dollars” by putting pressure on manufacturers to factor in the environment, not just their bottom line.    Read more
