What It's About
A howling good update from a business selling frozen dog treats.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1265
Welcome to Throwback Thursday / “Where are they now?” where we take an in-depth look at someone who’s story has evolved considerably since we first featured them. Last week we featured a Washington, DC attorney with a course to help new parents return to the workforce. Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from Matt Meyer, co-founder of a business that provides frozen treats for dogs in the form of healthy (yet delicious, supposedly) ice cream. A lot has happened since we first featured this canine-loving business back in Ep. 384! Listen to today's episode to hear Matt's updates...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
- The Bear & the Rat: See what all the barking is about and learn more about Matt, Meg and their products on their website!
- Frozen Pup Treats Are No Barking Matter: Frozen yogurt for dogs? Yep. It starts as one couple’s hobby, expands to a farmer’s market, and eventually earns a million dollars in sales.
- Electrical Engineer Rides Demand to Dog Collar Empire: A short-term holdover project between jobs becomes a seven-figure empire, all built on dog collars.
- That’s the Spot! Dog Lover’s Hustle Becomes Fur-ever Biz: A customer service agent engineers a side hustle trans-fur-mation to full-time dog training business.
