Dog Ranch TV Podcast

What a great time we had talking with Kate Knecht of Tomlinson's, a 4th generation family owned pet store in Central Texas. Kate tells the story of the family biz, their core values, and how she helped carry the family business through Covid and into the next generation by creating their online store. We also learn how they choose to grow and ways they give back to the community. Don't miss the speed round at the end. It's eye popping!
