I reached out to Amy Kim from Kindtail when I was on the hunt for the best crate for our new french bulldog, Pickle. All I could see were those horrible cages that look like jail cells. Our old lab, Annie, once literally "chewed" her way out of one of those cages, Jaws-style, blood and guts included. When I saw a review that said, "Our puppy is dead. She got her neck halfway through and suffocated while we were gone for an hour," I know I needed another option.
At that moment, I saw my first PAWD - a beautiful, aesthetically-pleasing plastic crate by Kindtail. It looked like an end table, and it turns out, that's one of the uses Amy intended when she created it.
The pet industry is evolving but some areas are still in the dark ages. Amy Kim is an inventor, a product designer, a woman who sees things through the eyes of love and kindness, not just dollar signs. Her dog saved her life many years ago, and she is committed to creating products that will make his and other pets around the world happier.
Notables:
Amy Kim is a badass :)
How Amy started Kindtail
Faced with being a single parent, Amy found strength and love through her dog, Monkey
No-man's land is worse then learning hard truths
The toughest times can yield the greatest growth opportunities
Mindset reframe: Instead of asking "can I?" reframe to "Why can't I?"
Entrepreneurship is self-discovery: It takes resilience and constant retraining
Intuition & Courage are the key
What's your superpower? Amy's is laser focus (Amy) and that she loves the hardest (Yogi's feedback)
