“I’m opening a pet boutique myself and was turned on to Candace and her amazing podcast.”
Teresa Turner
“I started wondering what it would be like to run my own business and this is when I found your podcast. I started developing a vision for what I wanted to see in a pet store,…and this past February I started putting my plan in motion, all the while listening to the podcast. Your approach to business ownership never felt unreasonable or intimidating, but being in an industry that can largely be driven by emotions everything you said was grounded in reality. And as a perpetual daydreamer, that’s what I needed to keep me going. Almost two years later, I opened my store.”
Ashley Smiley
