Listen Later

When’s the last time your dog taught you something about life — or even about money? 🐾

In this heartfelt episode of The Prosperity Lounge, host Joey Ruffalo sits down with Samantha Spoto — Licensed Veterinary Nurse, Accredited Claims Adjuster, and host of Tell Me About Your Dog — for a powerful conversation about planning, purpose, and prosperity from a pet lover’s perspective.

From the real costs of pet ownership to the lessons of loyalty, preparation, and love, this episode dives deep into what our four-legged friends can teach us about emotional health, financial planning, and even leadership.

💬 Topics include:

  • Why budgeting for your pet is part of true financial wellness

  • The surprising link between emotional support animals and prosperity

  • Pet insurance 101 — when to get it, how it works, and what to avoid

  • The mental and emotional rewards of caring for animals

  • How compassion connects leadership, caregiving, and community

    Whether you’re a pet parent, a business owner, or someone simply looking to live more intentionally, this conversation reminds us that prosperity isn’t just about profit — it’s about purpose.
