Warning … This episode contains a lot of swearing so it is not appropriate for all age groups/audiences.

Today we are discussing the negative comments we see online about our industry, they are not helpful because I feel they put people off attending events and therefore contribute to blocking ,them from making connections, continuing education & allowing the person to develop as a groomer.

My guests are Tanya Sala’s, experienced and successful competitor and organise of the Irish competition ‘Groomers Got Talent’ and Jo Silk Smith who is our English Groom Team Silk Coat Handstrip member for the second term running!
