The Wolf and Bull The Wolf and Bull

Small businesses and big dreams are the backbone of society; without them, society becomes a corporate wasteland. When you buy something, do you consider its origin? How it's made? Who benefits from your purchase? How the shopping experience made you feel? Many of us choose convenience over quality, neglecting our local community. Without local business, there's less opportunity, less community, and less growth in our cities and neighborhoods.

In episode 98 of The Wolf and Bull, we sit down with the founder of Sophie May Boutique, Erika Hilligas, to learn about the inspiration behind the boutique, her journey as a small business owner, and the secrets to creating a welcoming shopping experience for customers.

Sophie May Boutique isn't just a store; it's a destination for individuals seeking personal connection as much as they're seeking their next perfect outfit. Sophie May Boutique is a handpicked collection of women's & young contemporary apparel, accessories, and shoes. Whether you're revamping your wardrobe or searching for the perfect statement piece, Sophie May Boutique has something for everyone.

So, whether you're a local fashion enthusiast or just passing through Gilbert, AZ, don't miss out on the opportunity to experience Sophie May Boutique's unique blend of style, quality, and personalized service. Hit that play button and embark on a fashion adventure with us!

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is equivalent to magic." - Arthur C. Clarke



What do you think of when you consider how your package arrives at your doorstep? Do you consider the size and weight? How long it took to arrive? The various methods of logistics involved in its shipment? How about the security and asset management required to track its location throughout its journey? We would guess that maybe you didn't consider any of those things, and that's exactly the way it should be; less hassle for the consumer means a successful project between a myriad of teams and experts was successful.



Shipping, travel, and the protection of valuable assets (i.e. your package) haven't always been as seamless as they may seem today. In fact, due to advances in technology, it could be argued that it's easier to manipulate, steal, and interfere with shipping than it's ever been. Each shipment is at high risk of interference, especially when the companies sending their product don't have visibility tracking on their asset(s).



In episode 97 of The Wolf and Bull, we had the pleasure of speaking with Ittay "Ty" Hayut, Co-Founder & CEO of Hoopo Asset Intelligence. Hoopo specializes in asset intelligence tracking, providing advanced tracking hardware and software for dry containers, chassis, trailers, ground support equipment, waste containers, and more. With Hoopos products and services, companies can receive real-time results on their bottom line, reducing the cost of operations, and ensuring that their assets (and the interests of their clients) remain protected.



Many of us never consider the work, technology, and behind-the-scenes activities involved in making sure that shipments arrive on time and in good order. That's why we decided to speak with Ty about his background, his company, and the complexities associated with asset tracking and management. We truly enjoyed this episode and we hope you do as well.

Business ownership is a rollercoaster ride filled with struggles and benefits. You're the face of fiscal responsibility, customer service, team management, and brand awareness. The competition is often fierce, and the risks associated with failure can be daunting. Despite the potential negatives, many still embark on an entrepreneurial path, because there's a bright side, which can be incredibly fulfilling.

Business owners enjoy the freedom to make decisions, which can result in building a business that reflects their values. To achieve success, they're responsible for cultivating close relationships with customers and fostering loyalty and advocacy. If done correctly, the business will thrive.

Many who become entrepreneurs do so by following a dream, or interest, or in pursuit of a goal, with minimal experience or guidance, resulting in mistakes and endless questions. Here at the Wolf and Bull, we realize that and have taken it upon ourselves to provide our audience with the stories and guidance of those who have succeeded despite the adversity they faced.

In episode 94 of The Wolf and Bull, we had the pleasure of speaking with Scott Benedetto, owner, operator, and franchisee of Vero Chicago Pizza, located in Queen Creek, Arizona.

In this thought-provoking episode of The Wolf and Bull Podcast, we dive into the intricate web of human connection, exploring the fascinating world of relationship attachments. Join us as we dissect the bonds that tie us to our loved ones, friends, and partners, and discover the psychology and dynamics behind our most important connections.


As entertaining as the Wolf and Bull may be, they're not experts in relationship attachment styles, so they invited their friend, Jason Green, host of the podcast, 'Relationships and Relationshits' to provide some context and guidance on the topic.

We also discuss Jason's work with a new dating app called Blind'a, which aims to change how society engages in online dating.
