This week, David was joined by Brett Podolsky, Co-Founder of The Farmer's Dog, one of the nation’s fastest growing pet food brands. Brett's philosophy is all about clean and healthy food for dogs as opposed to the traditional kibble that most pet owners feed their dogs. What started as just an idea between two friends has now turned into an established brand with a large and loyal following.
We talk with Brett about starting entrepreneurship, company culture, raising capital, his favorite books, where he draws inspiration and the best advice he has ever received as a business owner.
