    Paige and Ryan Give Each Other Advice and Share What They Have Enjoyed Doing This Past Year

    In this episode of the Behind the Leash Podcast, Paige and Ryan of Tails and Ales Philly, get to sit down and talk for 13 minutes (with all the dogs in the background) about their dog business plans and share personal advice for each other. When Paige started Tails and Ales she never imagined it would be where it is 1 year later; February and March filled up, she is getting 7-8 new inquiries a week and has had to put meet and greets for daycares on pause. Tails and Ales has been a lot of give and take when it comes to personal time off and focusing on individual growth for both Paige and Ryan. Weekend dinner talk is never complete without focusing some time on talking about dogs or our business and the vision for the future. Tails and Ales is constantly in an upward movement of growth to ensure that we can continue to provide the best care for the dogs. We always have new ideas that we are waiting to share with our community and clients...like merch? parties? group hikes? The ideas are endless and hope we can let you in on some of these plans soon! With that said, Ryan and Paige have a variety of passions that include the dogs (duh!), but also ones that are completely different and don't fall under the pet service industry. These passions are also worth exploring for each of them and ones that you may see pop up a little more often... but don't worry, we aren't going anywhere or sacrificing any of our dog days.

    Ling Phan of the Picnic Palette Co on Not Waiting for Perfection

    It was such a pleasure talking business with Ling Phan, Founder and Owner of Picnic Palette, Philly's first luxury picnic & events consulting  company that specializes in small intimate events for a variety of occasions like micro weddings, engagements, birthdays and "just for fun". In this Behind the Leash Podcast episode, Paige and Ryan have the pleasure of getting to know Ling on a more personal note... like did you know she has 2 dogs?! One she rescued from Saved Me "unintentionally". I only mention this because those pups have some type of magic spell that I am sure a few other listeners can relate to or at least understand. Aside from her pups, Ling opened this business in the midst of 2020. She created a company that offered "normalcy" to her clients. This gave them an escape from sitting at home, ordering take-out and watching TV. Let's dive into what it was like starting an event business during a time events were kind of put on hold. Let's learn about the ins and outs of the business and how creating a stellar event with Ling works. So if you still don't know what Picnic Palette Co is, but you are curious, please listen to this episode, follow them on Instagram and if you live in the Philly area you can even book an event with them!

    Paige and Ryan on Taking a Step Back, Creating Your Journey and 2021 Goals

    In this episode of the Behind the Leash Podcast, co-hosts and owners of Tails and Ales: Dog Walking and Boarding in Philadelphia, Paige and Ryan, talk all about why they disappeared from the podcast world, their 2020 accomplishments and their 2021 goals. In this episode the couple gives out business advice, reminds listeners what The Behind the Leash podcast is all about, and encourages listeners to reach their own goals at their own pace.  After 2020, it's easy to start comparing yourself to others, to wish you "had more drive" or could just do more. But the reality of it all is that what you see isn't always butterflies and rainbows. You can't push yourself. Paige and Ryan pushed themselves in 2020 and it caused a lot of burnout, stress and clouded their judgement. We are happy to have you here with us, along our business and life journey. It's an honor and pleasure to share our stories and our guests stories with you. ________________________________ Remember to follow us on Instagram (@tailsandales_philly), leave a comment online about our podcast (wherever you choose to listen) or DM us feedback! We can't grow or change if we don't know what you as our listeners want or need. If you want to be a guest on our podcast you can go to our website or you can send us a DM on Instagram. I look forward to hearing from all those Philadelphia business owners, entrepreneurs and side-hustlers.
