Calling all pet parents! This week on the show, we're diving deep into the world of Doodles — and not the sketchbook kind. We're joined by Elina Panteleyeva and her adorable tri-colored mini Bernedoodle, Oscar, to talk all things Doodle hair care.
Forget your shampoo — this episode is all about those curly, fluffy, sometimes-matted coats that Doodle parents know all too well. As a proud Doodle mom and founder of DoodWoof, Elina has lived the tangle struggle. She’s taken that experience, combined it with serious research and chats with countless other Doodle owners, and built a brand that's become a grooming game-changer.
From the breakout success of her detangling spray to the new 5-in-1 miracle shampoo, Elina's business is growing fast — and she’s just getting started.
Tune in as we talk about grooming hacks, her journey from pet parent to product innovator, and why DoodWoof is quickly becoming every Doodle’s best friend (next to you, of course).

Listen to Albert tell how he and three friends decided to start a tequila company, not just your run-of-the-mill tequila but a high-quality sipping tequila.
They took a unique approach, inviting the consumers to determine which of their 28+ flavor profiles would be the one they took to market. This inclusive strategy not only gave the consumers a voice but also made them feel a part of the tequila creation process.
After many gatherings with friends, family, and the community, they narrowed it down to 4 specific flavors, packaged them up in a sampler and tasting box, and sold them online with one request: after you try all of them, go to their website and complete the survey.
From these results, the consumers' voices were heard loudly and clearly, as one of the four tequilas was crowned Tequila de la Gente (the Tequila of the People). This decision was a testament to the integral role the consumers played in shaping the tequila company's future.

We are getting personal on this episode. Darrin talks to his mom about her entrepreneurial journey, her lessons learned, and watching her child (Darrin) blossom into a thriving business owner.
Beverly Bethmann's first business venture was selling sunglasses to gas stations/convenience stores. She bought a box of 100 pairs for $5 and sold them for $5 a pair(!) That colossal success led her to sell women's accessories and open a jewelry store in Alexandria Bay, NY. Not satisfied with playing it safe, she leap-frogged with a partner to sell a clothing line at Costco.

During COVID, Llyod Thompson realized he wanted to avoid spending his time driving to the office. What he really wanted to do was surf every day. That desire led him to market his skillset as a fractional director of operations by starting his business, Virtual DOO www.virtualdoo.com
As Llyod's business grew, he realized he needed extra help. His lightbulb moment came after hiring his first employee. As it turned out, many companies require a director of operations but need more time to be ready to hire a full-time employee. Necessity is the mother of invention, and now he employs multiple individuals to serve as fraction directors of operations to fill the need within his client's companies.

Necessity is the mother of invention - or at least that's what Lei Lydle believed in the late 1990's when preparing for her wedding and discovered no comprehensive planning and information resource for brides and grooms. Well, she fixed that by creating AtlantaBridal.com - a free online self-serve wedding planning resource designed to help engaged couples and party planners plan their weddings and events in Georgia. While it is similar in nature to The Knot and Wedding Wire, AtlantaBridal is the only comprehensive, locally owned and operated resource of its kind and has been helping engaged couples plan their weddings and parties in Georgia since 1998.
