    Launchpad Reseller Podcast | Season 2, Episode 18 | Paws to Flip

    Can reselling really go from a little extra money to replacing TWO full-time careers in less than a year? 🚀 On Season 2, Episode 18 of the Launchpad Reseller Podcast, we sat down with Lisa & Zack of Paws to Flip, a husband-and-wife reseller team from Wisconsin whose side hustle quickly snowballed into a full-time business for both of them. Lisa started reselling in September 2025 while working as a teacher. Just a few months later, she left teaching and went all-in on reselling. Zack continued working his full-time job until June, when he made the jump too. Both became full-time resellers, building a growing Whatnot business along the way! 🔥 4.5K+ items sold⭐ 5.0 seller rating📦 Less than 1-day average shipping👥 1.8K+ Whatnot followers Their primary focus was baby and toddler clothing, much of it sourced through liquidation, with surprises like Hallmark ornaments mixed in along the way. And the name Paws to Flip? That came from the real bosses of the operation: their four dogs and one cat. 🐶🐱 🚀 IN THIS EPISODE We talked about: ✅ Going from side hustle to TWO full-time resellers in under a year✅ Why Lisa decided to leave teaching for reselling✅ How Zack knew it was time to make the jump✅ Building a business together as husband and wife✅ Why they started taking Whatnot seriously✅ Growing to more than 4,500 Whatnot sales✅ Selling baby and toddler clothing through live auctions✅ Using liquidation to source inventory at scale✅ Whatnot vs. traditional buy-it-now marketplaces✅ Why they saved thrift and garage-sale finds for other platforms✅ Managing inventory, shipping, and live shows✅ The freedom reselling created for their family✅ Lessons learned during their first year in business✅ What's next for Paws to Flip Their story wasn't about building a business overnight. It was about recognizing when a side hustle was gaining momentum and being willing to change the plan when the opportunity became bigger than the original goal. A HUGE thank you to Lisa & Zack for joining us, sharing their journey, and giving our community an inside look at what it took to turn a side hustle into two full-time careers! 🎙️ Season 2 | Episode 18📅 Originally aired September 28th🚀 Launchpad Reseller Podcast Find them across social media: 🐾 Facebook, Instagram & TikTok: Lisa The Flippin’ Puppy Mom🐾 Facebook: Zack The Flipping Puppy Dad🐾 YouTube, Whatnot & eBay: Paws to Flip Whether you're trying to make an extra $500 a month, wondering if reselling could eventually replace your job, or working to scale an existing business, this conversation offered valuable lessons from two people who made the leap. 🚀 Launchpad Reseller PodcastYour Mission Control for All Things Reselling! #PawsToFlip #WhatnotSeller #Reselling #FullTimeReseller #SideHustle #Whatnot #ClothingReseller #ResellerPodcast #eBaySeller #LaunchpadResellerPodcast
