Ever wondered what happens when you put three pet business owners on stage with rapid-fire business scenarios and let a live audience judge their answers?

Pure magic! 🎯

This special episode was recorded LIVE at Super Zoo in Las Vegas – one of the largest pet industry trade shows with over 22,000 pet professionals and 1,100+ exhibitors. We created the first-ever “Pet Boss Showdown” – a game show format where real pet business owners battled it out with their best business advice.

What you’ll hear:

✨ Lightning round responses to crisis scenarios (angry Yelp reviews, dog bites, supplier price hikes)

✨ Deep-dive business challenges 

✨ Pet Boss vs. Hot Mess judgment calls (emergency funds vs. renovations, closing during holidays)

✨ Expert advice on enrichment activities, competing with big box stores, managing inflation

✨ Real talk about hiring, customer loyalty programs, and first-year business mistakes

This isn’t your typical interview – it’s unfiltered, unscripted business wisdom from the trenches, with audience participation and real prizes on the line!
