Do you have a word of the year that inspires your pet business or your life with your pets? My word of the year for 2025 is inspired by hard times I'm currently going through with my dog Lucy. It's important for me to be present and not try to multitask. 

By living my word of the year, I'm already seeing positive impacts on my stress level and how much I can enjoy every day with Burt and Lucy. After you listen, tell me about your word of the year and how it's driving your pet business success for 2025!

In this episide you'll hear about:

• Tori's challenging December: Lucy's health issues and the vet's diagnosis of a splenic mass, which usually means cancer.

• Decision-making: Opted for no surgery, focusing on Lucy's quality of life and holistic care.

• Tori's 2025 word: "One thing at a time" to simplify, focus, and live in the moment.

• Wear Wag Repeat Society: New features, including office hours and monthly member spotlights. Join now to book a kick-off coffee chat with me: https://wearwagrepeat.com/society 

• Podcast goals: Focus on solo episodes, consistent releases, and insights into Tori's pet business growth.

In this episode, I’m talking with super-connector Stacy Pong. It’s a funny story… we met through a virtual networking event, and I found out that she’s a networking expert and even runs a membership about it! So it felt like it was meant to be for her to be the final podcast guest to wrap up the networking and collaboration theme of this quarter here at Wear Wag Repeat.

I loved talking to Stacy because she’s not directly in the pet industry - although she does have an adorable corgi named Hashbrown! I’ve found that getting business and marketing ideas from people outside of our industry can be very inspiring.

Stacy shares actionable tips for how to make the most of networking as an introverted pet pro including example questions that you can use the next time you find yourself in the middle of some awkward small talk. Check out her W.I.N. framework below!

I also love her advice about being “sticky”! That will get your brainstorming wheels turning. If you want to talk about any of the ideas here and how to best apply them to your business, that’s what we do every month in Wear Wag Repeat Society.

In the span of 5 years, Liz Wilcox grew and sold a successful blog, got bought out of her second company, and built the third into a multiple six-figure businesses where she teaches entrepreneurs to simplify the whole “email marketing thing”.

She’s best known for her 4500+ user email marketing membership (I’ve been a member for 3 years), her 20 Minute Newsletter technique, and the Email Staircase framework she’s taught to tens of thousands of creatives, freelancers, ecommerce shop owners, and small businesses across the globe.

In this interview, Liz goes along with my Networking Theme of Q4 and highlights how email is an amazing tool for collaboration and connection.

We talk about:

• How to use email to build real connections with your subscribers
• How sharing other people’s content in your emails builds your trust and authority

Liz also told me the story of her first digital product. It was a collaboration with other RV travel bloggers back when she had her first website. While telling this story, Liz invites you to steal her idea for a pet-inspired twist! I’m so in… wait until you hear it and reach out to me if you want to collaborate on this idea!

I’m so excited to have Lashonda Geffrard, the founder of Black Pet Business Network as my first podcast guest of Q4. This quarter is dedicated to learning about collaboration and networking. Something Lashonda is an expert at!

In this conversation, she shares how she came up with the idea for the Black Pet Business Network. It was born from a desire to connect with grooming shop owners during the pandemic to see how they were running their businesses amidst shutdowns and quarantines.

It's Q4 and here at Wear Wag Repeat the theme is collaboration. All podcast episodes, work in Wear Wag Repeat Society and other resources are dedicated to supporting your networking, collaborations and partnerships. 

Here's what I have in store for October to help you grow your pet business:

Expert Interview with Lashonda Geffrard, CEO of Black Pet Business Network and owner of The Paw Shop, a grooming salon in Orlando, FL. We're talking about networking and how to diversify your community with real action steps. I'm already implementing her advice!

Wear Wag Repeat Society Lesson: Going live today, in my membership for petpreneurs we're looking at how to make the most or virtual networking, how to find networking calls or local events and how to make sure people can figure out how to contact you (an essential part of finding new collaborators!)

Speaking of virtual networking… you’re invited to my Petpreneur Virtual Networking event on October 9th. RSVP for this free event!
