Are you using AI in your pet business? If so, your content might be coming off as robotic and generic—and your clients can tell. In this episode, I break down how AI is both helping and hurting pet business owners, the biggest mistakes people make, and how to use AI the right way to keep your voice authentic. AI is an incredible tool, but it should enhance your brand, not erase your personality. Too many pet business owners rely on AI for website copy, social media posts, and emails without realizing their messaging starts to sound the same as everyone else. When your brand voice disappears, trust and connection with clients suffer. In this episode, I’ll share the biggest red flags that show AI has taken over your content and why authenticity is critical in the pet industry.

You don’t need another Google rabbit hole stealing your time—you need AI to help you work smarter, faster, and with way less stress. That’s why understanding ChatGPT vs Google for pet business owners is a total game-changer. In this episode, I’m breaking down ChatGPT vs Google for pet businesses—why they’re NOT the same, why it actually matters, and how using AI the right way is a total game-changer for your business (and life).

If you’re frustrated with flaky employees and high turnover, this episode is for you! The truth is, employees don’t quit because they’re lazy or because you’re hiring the wrong people. They quit because they feel lost, overwhelmed, and unsupported. And most of the time, your training system is to blame. If you’ve ever said, “I just need someone with common sense!” or found yourself answering the same questions over and over, it’s time for a change. In this episode, I’ll break down why employees leave and give you the real solution to keep them engaged, confident, and sticking around longer. Hit play now because you don’t want to miss this!

You didn’t start your pet business to be a firefighter… so why does every day feel like you’re putting out flames?  If you’re constantly answering the same questions, fixing mistakes, and making every decision yourself, that’s not leadership—that’s survival.
