Podcasts about grooming

In this episode, we speak with Groomit co-founders Sohel Kapadia and Lars Rissmann about building a mobile, on-demand pet grooming platform designed for convenience, quality, and scale. Unlike typical marketplace models (e.g., Rover/Wag), Groomit vets groomers, provides fully outfitted mobile vans, manages logistics/technology, and delivers a consistent standard of service—for both pet parents and groomers.After bootstrapping for years, Groomit has achieved $7.4M in 2024 revenue (up from $5.8M in 2023), with over 150,000 pets groomed and an average rating of 4.8 stars. The company now operates in 17 states and 50+ cities, with a repeatable playbook for entering new markets and building recurring revenue, including auto-scheduling that now accounts for ~30% of bookings.Groomit's hybrid model—supporting independent groomers with vans, bookings, payments, and software—has unlocked earnings potential for groomers (often earning ~$117 per appointment) and a premium, convenient service for pet owners. The vans are third-party investor-owned, minimizing Groomit's capex, and groomers operate as independent contractors who can keep vans at home for efficiency.If you're interested in how to scale a premium services marketplace with high operational complexity, tight quality control, and strong unit economics, this episode offers a clear blueprint.

We adore our furry friends—whether they're cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, or even gerbils! Who wouldn't want a playful buddy to share their lives with?   When it comes to how much a pet will cost you, there can be a big range. Some pets are quite affordable, while others may stretch your budget a bit. But don't worry—with some planning and a little research, you can get a good feel for the expenses that come with your new furry family member, making budgeting a breeze!   So, what should you keep in mind when considering costs?   First up is the purchase price. For dogs, you might find yourself spending anywhere from a couple hundred to a few thousand dollars for certain breeds. Cats typically come in a bit lower, but you should still budget a few hundred dollars. Smaller pets like rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters can be more budget-friendly both in terms of purchase price and ongoing care.   Remember, where you get your pet can make a difference in cost. Breeders often charge more, while adopting from a shelter can be a wonderful and economical option. Plus, when you adopt, you're giving a loving home to an animal in need, and many shelter pets are already vaccinated and treated, saving you those initial costs. If you're considering adoption, check out your local humane society or petfinder.com to find animals looking for forever homes.   Next, let's chat about medical expenses. If your new furry friend needs vaccinations, treatments, or surgeries, it's good to know what to expect. Procedures like spaying or neutering are quite common; you might pay around $130-$500 for dogs and $60-$370 or more for cats.   Grooming is another consideration. Some breeds need regular grooming, and while you can definitely take this on yourself if you're up for it, a professional groomer can do wonders too. Expect grooming costs to be around $30-$90 for dogs and about $50-$120 for cats per visit.   Food is a big part of your pet's budget, and there's a wide range of options out there. Whether you go for dry food, wet food, or even fresh scraps (just make sure they're safe for your pet!), you'll want to budget accordingly. Some pet owners even get creative and feed their pets fresh veggies or other kitchen scraps—just be sure to keep their nutritional needs in mind!   Let's not forget about supplies and toys! Depending on your pet, you'll need to stock up on some essentials. For dogs, think about getting a leash, tags, a comfy bed, and plenty of toys. Cats will need a litter box, a few toys, and a cozy place to sleep. Smaller pets like rabbits or guinea pigs will need cages, bedding materials, and a water bottle. Make a checklist of what you'll need and hunt for good deals so you can save a little!   If you're bringing a dog into your life, training is a worthy investment to consider. Some pups benefit greatly from professional classes, with the average cost of classes being $300 per course. But if you're up for the challenge, you can train them at home, too!   Planning to travel? You'll need to consider boarding costs, which for dogs averages $40-$100 per night and for cats $30-$70 per night. Many facilities offer package deals, which can help you save a bit.   Lastly, let's touch on pet insurance. Having coverage can be a lifesaver when unexpected costs hit. Routine vet visits might average a few hundred dollars, but emergency care can quickly add up to thousands. If you think you might struggle to cover those bills, pet insurance might be a smart move.   That's all for today!

In this ground breaking and deeply moving episode, Sula joins to share for the first time publicly the harrowing truth about how her childhood therapist was not a healer but a programmer. Beginning at just 3 years old, Sula was subjected to hypnosis, soul-fracturing abuse, and constructed inner worlds as part of a broader scheme of spiritual and psychological control. Dan and Sula uncover the disturbing intersection of ritual abuse, occult initiation, and Disney-themed programming—including false safe places and sexualized internal constructs. Sula opens up about how this foundation of trauma made her vulnerable to further trafficking, spiritual assault, and end-times programming. But her story does not end in trauma. Sula boldly testifies to the power of Jesus Christ to redeem, restore, and deprogram the most shattered soul offering not only insight but hope to survivors and those working in trauma-informed care.

From a childhood love of animals to studying behavior and building a thriving grooming salon, her journey is anything but ordinary.

RiotsUK #GroomingGangs #MigrantHotels #EppingRiots #DissProtests The UK is at breaking point — so why are MPs disappearing for six weeks? While Parliament prepares for its summer recess, communities across Britain are under immense strain. This week alone, serious unrest has erupted in Epping and Diss, sparked by growing public anger over migrant hotels and allegations of sexual offences. Even Labour's Angela Rayner has acknowledged the rising risk of riots. Meanwhile, Keir Starmer branded the Epping protesters as “thugs” — dismissing legitimate fears from local residents. Is this political detachment or something worse? Over in France, GB News' Patrick Christys did what our security services have failed to do: he tracked down and interviewed three people smugglers operating openly on the French coast. If a journalist can do it, why can't the Home Office, MI5, or even local police? And next week marks the anniversary of the Southport riots — a grim reminder of what happens when authorities ignore public pressure and let tensions boil over. This is no time for a holiday. The public wants answers, not out-of-office replies.

Es ist der wahrscheinlich verstörendste Missbrauchsskandal in Großbritannien der letzten Jahrzehnte. Die sogenannten Grooming Gangs: organisierte Gruppen von Männern, die über Jahre hinweg gezielt junge Mädchen ins Visier genommen, ihr Vertrauen erschlichen – und sie dann systematisch sexuell ausgebeutet haben. Besonders erschütternd: Viele dieser Fälle wurden lange ignoriert – von der Gesellschaft, den Behörden, der Politik. Oft wurde den jungen Frauen die Schuld gegeben für das, was ihnen widerfahren ist. Warum hat niemand rechtzeitig eingegriffen? Warum wurde so lange geschwiegen? Erst jetzt finden die Betroffenen endlich Gehör.

Es ist der wahrscheinlich verstörendste Missbrauchsskandal in Großbritannien der letzten Jahrzehnte. Die sogenannten Grooming Gangs: organisierte Gruppen von Männern, die über Jahre hinweg gezielt junge Mädchen ins Visier genommen, ihr Vertrauen erschlichen – und sie dann systematisch sexuell ausgebeutet haben. Besonders erschütternd: Viele dieser Fälle wurden lange ignoriert – von der Gesellschaft, den Behörden, der Politik. Oft wurde den jungen Frauen die Schuld gegeben für das, was ihnen widerfahren ist. Warum hat niemand rechtzeitig eingegriffen? Warum wurde so lange geschwiegen? Erst jetzt finden die Betroffenen endlich Gehör.

Trump still hasn't released the Epstein client list, the very list he promised to expose during his presidential campaign. He said the swamp would be drained and that the elite pedophiles would face justice. But the victims are still waiting.This isn't oversight. It's betrayal.Why is Trump suddenly acting like an Israeli ambassador? Why are American leaders more loyal to a foreign state than to their own people, and their own children?Justice delayed is justice denied, and we need to keep the pressure on until Trump becomes even more of a "panican" about this.No more Kash Patel. No more hiding behind “ongoing investigations.” No more delays. Fire Pam Bondi and whoever else is obstructing the truth.Epstein's victims deserve justice. And if Trump won't deliver it then, again, we will.—https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Orca Allokelping is the newly documented behavior where southern resident killer whales use bull kelp as a tool to rub against each other—possibly to remove dead skin and soothe irritation. Captured via drone, this social spa-like behavior, known as allokelping, reveals a rare example of cooperative tool use in the wild. Scientists believe it serves both physical and social functions, strengthening bonds within pods and supporting skin health. Kelp grooming is more than just orca hygiene. It highlights the intelligence and cultural complexity of these endangered whales. The discovery comes with a reminder: kelp forests and Chinook salmon are essential for these behaviors to continue. As habitat and food sources decline, so too may the traditions that define this population. This episode breaks down the science behind the behavior and why it matters for conservation.
