Today, Stacy and Crystal chat with fellow co-host Robin Greubel. She, alongside her husband Joe, co-own and manage Dog Day Acres Land & Cattle Company. Robin also is the CEO of the K9Sensus Foundation which coaches the human end of the leash. 

Robin has been involved in detection work since 2001, yet remains an avid student who always aims to stay on the cutting edge by learning from groups that cover subjects beyond her expertise. In Robin’s own words, “Some of the most valuable information can’t be learned in my circle.”

As a certified Executive Coach, Robin understands that, “You can’t help anybody unless you’ve created a safe environment for them. Unless they feel safe, they can’t learn, they can’t explore who they need to be, and they can't ask questions.” It’s a philosophy that permeates everything that she does, whether she’s consulting with executives heading fortune 500 companies, faculty at Tier 1 research universities, or doing bucket training for her cows at the farm.

Join us for a lot of laughter and some insight into how she balances all of the different aspects of her life, along with some new puppies!
