    Ep.130 – Authenticity in the Age of AI: Why Business That Feel Human Will Always Win

    AI can write your emails. It can create your social media posts. It can even answer your phone. But what happens when every pet business starts sounding exactly the same? How do you stand out when everyone has access to the same technology? And why might your greatest competitive advantage over the next decade have nothing to do with AI at all… and everything to do with being more human? In this week’s episode of the Pet Boarding & Daycare Podcast, Dom is joined by two special guests to explore what premium pet businesses should be focusing on as AI becomes more powerful. First, customer experience expert Vance Morris returns to the show to explain why authenticity is becoming one of the most valuable assets any business can possess. Drawing on lessons from Disney, Chick-fil-A and his own customer experience philosophy, Vance explains why technology should support great service, not replace it, and why those first few seconds of interaction with a prospective client matter more than ever. Later in the episode, Dom catches up with 2026 Pet Business Marketer of the Year, Kim Buchanan. Kim shares how she transformed her 4,000-square-foot daycare into an enrichment-led, members-only business, increased revenue by more than $125,000, hired a General Manager and Enrichment Manager, and built a premium client experience that allows her to charge significantly more than the competition. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why Authenticity Matters More Than Ever – How AI is making genuine personality and human connection your biggest competitive advantage. The Power of Moment Zero – Why the first few seconds of a customer’s experience determine whether they’ll trust your business for years to come. Customer Experience That Commands Premium Prices – The simple changes that separate remarkable businesses from forgettable ones. How Enrichment Builds Better Businesses – Why Kim Buchanan’s enrichment-first approach transformed both profitability and client loyalty. The Marketing Power of Hospitality – How thoughtful gifts, onboarding and communication create lifelong customers. Why Standing Still Is the Biggest Risk – The mindset successful daycare owners adopt to keep innovating year after year. Huge thanks to this week special guest Vance Morris.

    Ep. 129 – EBITDA Explained: Six Crucial Letters That Will Transform The Profitability of Your Pet Resort

    Are you measuring the success of your business by how many dogs you can squeeze into daycare next week when you should really be asking how valuable your business is becoming? Have you ever wondered why some pet businesses are worth millions of dollars while others, despite generating similar revenue, struggle to make any real profit? And what if the biggest opportunity in your business isn’t finding more customers but building the assets that make every customer more valuable? In this week’s episode of the Pet Boarding & Daycare Podcast, Dom is joined by business valuation expert Teija Heikkilä from Pet Vet M&A to unpack one of the most important numbers in business: EBITDA – Which stands for Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization. It might not be the most exciting acronym you’ll ever hear, but as Teija explains, it’s the figure that determines how profitable, bankable and ultimately valuable your business really is. Whether you’re planning to sell in five years or never intend to sell at all, understanding EBITDA changes the way you make decisions. After the interview, Dom takes the conversation one step further by explaining why you don’t improve EBITDA directly. Instead, you improve the assets that create it. From premium pricing and memberships to marketing systems, automation, client experience and recurring revenue, Dom shares the practical ways daycare owners can build businesses that are more profitable today and significantly more valuable tomorrow. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why EBITDA Is the Number That Really Matters – Teija explains why buyers, lenders and investors focus on EBITDA rather than revenue. The Funnel That Drives Business Value – How every decision you make, from pricing to staffing, eventually shows up in your bottom line. Why Assets Beat Sales – Dom explains why building marketing, pricing and system assets creates long-term growth. The Hidden Cost of Underpricing – Why raising prices isn’t just about making more money today, but building a more valuable business. How Memberships Create Predictability – Why recurring revenue makes your business easier to run and far more attractive to future buyers. Thinking Like a CEO – The mindset shift from chasing more dogs to creating a business that grows in value year after year. Huge thanks to this week special guest Teija Heikkilä.

    Ep. 128 – The Power of the Pet Business Pause: Why Taking Time Off Makes You a Better Business Owner

    Do you ever feel guilty stepping away from your business because you’re convinced everything will fall apart without you? Have you been so busy firefighting that you haven’t stopped to think about where your business is actually heading? And what if the biggest breakthrough in your business this year doesn’t come from working harder but from not working? In this week’s episode of the Pet Boarding & Daycare Podcast, Dom returns from a week away in Menorca with an important reminder for every pet business owner. After completely switching off for seven days — no emails, no social media and not even a laptop in sight — Dom reflects on why recovery shouldn’t be treated as a luxury, but as an essential part of running a successful business. Along the way, he shares a couple of fascinating stories from UK zoos that used creative enrichment to help animals cope with the recent heatwave, before explaining how smart daycare owners can use those same stories to educate clients and reinforce their position as enrichment experts.  Drawing inspiration from some of the world’s greatest sports coaches, including Sir Alex Ferguson, Phil Jackson and Carlo Ancelotti, Dom explores the importance of creating regular opportunities to stop, review, adjust and move forward with greater clarity. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why Recovery Is Business Maintenance – Why holidays, downtime and switching off should be planned into your business, not squeezed in when you’re exhausted. How Trust Protects Your Business – The powerful lesson Dom learned from returning to the same hotel in Menorca, and what it teaches us about client loyalty. What Zoos Can Teach Us About Summer Enrichment – Creative ideas for helping dogs stay cool while positioning yourself as the local enrichment expert. The Halftime Reset – Why the world’s best sports teams stop to review, refocus and adjust before the second half begins. Why 90-Day Planning Works – The psychology behind quarterly planning and why it creates more momentum than annual goals. The Questions Every Business Owner Should Ask Right Now – A practical framework for reviewing the first half of the year and planning a stronger second half.
