In this episode of the Summer Series, I'm doing a refresher on your dog's energetics, after a lovely listener reached out after trying to figure out her own dogs' energetics. I give some tips and tricks on how to identify your dog's primary element of their constitution, as well as whether or not they run more towards cool or warm, and how you can then balance this with food. I also share ways to check your dog's behavioural quirks, and how the time of day they do them might point us to areas of imbalance.

Kimon and Richard speak with Christian Arno, founder and CEO of Pawprint, about how companies can effectively achieve sustainability goals. As a young child growing up in Aberdeen, Christian was interested in pursuing entrepreneurship. His first venture was in comic book sales, and his first clients were his parents and schoolmates on the bus. When his father learned more about the finances of Christian's venture, he shut the enterprise down, an early lesson in “regulation.” For university, Christian attended Oxford, where he studied languages. At around this time, the Dotcom boom began, and Christian created a website advertising translation services. He began to receive customer inquiries, and soon enough, was able to establish a revenue stream from recurrent clients. The most important thing that Christian learned while building Lingo24 was how to take advantage of SEO (search engine optimization). Christian was able to land bigger companies despite a lack of experience. Searchers would find his professionally-created website, purchase services, eventually leading Christian to start hiring employees to accommodate the growing demand. In the 20 years of running the company before exiting, Christian was able to grow Lingo24 to a maximum size of 230 people with a peak revenue of around $50 million in a year. Despite this success, Christian felt it was time to move on to another venture. In the mid-2010s, Christian's father, formerly an oil and gas entrepreneur, reversed course and became a climate activist with Extinction Rebellion. Through conversations with his father, Christian came to believe that the second act of his career should attempt to address the environmental issues that threaten him, his father, and billions around the world. Christian's new company is a software platform, Pawprint, that educates, motivates, and aligns employees of companies around sustainable development goals. The CEO of a company signs up, creating accounts for employees. The employees are placed into teams where they compete to reduce their CO2 emissions. The CEO is able to set various financial or non-financial awards for the best-performing employees. Pawprint doesn't just track the results. It also gives employees various actions and pieces of advice, over 500 in total, to improve their environmental impact. Christian talks about his passion for Pawprint and the excitement of working on project with social impact. His big piece of advice for entrepreneurs: Start doing what you care about as early possible. Don't wait!

YUP!  Crickets. They are the primary ingredient in Chippin dog treats.  Crickets are also more kind to the environment.  Consider this, it only takes 1 gallon of water to produce 1 pound of cricket protein.  But it takes 2,000 gallons of water to produce 1 pound of beef protein.  Crickets are also remarkably healthy for dogs (and humans, but we won't push that idea too hard). In this episode of the pawdcast, Karen and Jean chat with Kathleen Wojtowitz, head of marketing for Chippin, a woman-owned small business that's hellbent on providing delicious and nutritious dog treats and food while reducing the pet food industry's carbon pawprint.Headquartered in the Washington, DC area, Chippin products are available in stores nationwide and through its website www.chippinpet.com In addition to crickets, products are made with highly sustainable ingredients like spirulina and the horribly invasive silver carp.  Crafted under the supervision of qualified veterinarians, many of the products provide pre and pro-biotics and antioxidants.Go to https://chippinpet.com/discount/PAWDCAST and use the code PAWDCAST for 10% off your purchase.PawsGo has not been compensated for this episode.  In fact, we purchased the products and had our focus group of dog friends try them.  Eight out of 9 dogs went buggy over the treats.  The outlier is super picky, Kathleen thinks she might have the perfect treat for him, so we will happily try again!

Emily and Greg also discuss fundraising practices, regulatory compliance in the pet care industry, other interesting companies in the pet health space, and whether or not it's a good idea for a dog to eat vegan.

Greetings, Gamers! Coming off of our cat-stravaganza with Dusk last week, we are excited to finally bring you our interview with Ryan Steel, VGMVGM patron and composer of Catlandia: Crisis at Fort Pawprint! This is just such a diverse, well-made soundtrack, and we had a blast talking about it! Ryan is a Sound Designer and Music Composer from Canada. Playing video games were some of his earliest memories, and he grew up loving the music, learning a variety of instruments growing up and trying to play all those sweet VGM tunes on them. When he moved out to the farm he decided to stop playing in metal bands and started writing video game music because everything he was writing already fit the bill. Thanks as always to our amazing patrons and the artists who made our show art and theme song. Links to their content can be found below the playlist on our YouTube video! You, too, can become a patron at patreon.com/vgmvgm, and you can reach out to us one of these ways: Discord: https://discord.gg/qpbXPdCf2N Twitter: @VGMpod and @Shootkapow E-mail: verygoodmusicvgm@gmail.com Voicemail: Anchor.com/vgmvgm.

The long-serving Saudi oil minister Sheikh Ahmed Zaki Yamani has died in London aged 90. Mr Yamani was the public face of the 1970s oil embargo, and Julian Lee of Bloomberg, who worked with Mr Yamani at the Centre for Global Energy Studies in London, considers his legacy. Also in the programme, as the latest UK government figures show more young people have lost jobs as a result of the pandemic, the BBC's Sarah Corker visits Blackpool in northwest England to hear about youth employment prospects there. There is concern that millions of discarded face masks as a result of Covid-19 eventually end up as plastic waste in our oceans, and the BBC's Tamasin Ford investigates what can be done to help tackle the problem. Plus, a range of apps now promise to make tracking or calculating our personal carbon footprint easier, with a view to helping minimise our environmental impact. Christian Arno from Pawprint explains how his firm's app works.

With the threats of environmental crisis rising, sustainability is more than just a consumer trend. Today we talked with Haley Russell, founder of Chippin, about creating a sustainable brand. Haley discussed with us the importance of a sustainable approach and what things entrepreneurs should consider when making their business more environmentally friendly.

Howdy Bookshelvers!In this episode of Barks From The Bookshelf Nat and Steve get to have a good ol' chin waggle with their good buddy Karen WildKaren is a force of nature in the Dog World (not to mention other furries). We focus on her awesome Book 'Being a Dog - the world from your dog's point of view'. First published in 2016 this is a truly fact filled book on the subject of what its like to be a dog. Written from the dogs point of view it is charming and a fabulous reference book which you'll end up returning to again and again!Nat and Steve then delve deep into some of the topics (and there are plenty to pick from) featured in 'Being a Dog'. Look out for the new segment called The Gregg Wallace Moment and also brace yourselves for when Steve decides to get "sciency" with hilarious results.Karen's bio from the Paw Print Pets Website Karen Wild: As part of my commitment to high standards, I am a Certificated Clinical Animal Behaviourist (CCAB), Animal Behaviour and Training Council Clinical Animal Behaviourist (ABTC-CAB) and a Full member of the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors (APBC) and I am an ABTC (Animal Behaviour and Training Council) Registered Animal Training Instructor I am also a graduate member of the British Psychological Society (MBPsS). I also qualified as a dog training Instructor (First grade, Honours) with the British Institute of Professional Dog Trainers in the days before the APDT even existed and have kept my skills and knowledge up to date ever since attending regular training courses including a recent Certificate of Excellence from Dr Susan Friedman’s Living and Learning with Animals course. I write on dog behaviour and training for Dogs Today, Pet Product Marketing, PETS International, Dogs Monthly, Pet Gazette and Pet Focus. I have written three best-selling books on training and behaviour, published by Hamlyn, translated into several languages worldwide. I’m also a guest blog writer for Dr Ian Dunbar’s revolutionary website, Dog Star Daily. I also lecture on Behaviour practice, practical training and consultation for the Professional Diploma for Clinical Animal Behaviour at Central College for Animal Studies (CCOAS) and was guest instructor for Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, U.K. I speak regularly on this same subject in webinars and seminars, most recently in Dublin, Ireland and Shrewsbury, Shropshire and addressed the APBC Annual Conference in 2014. Over the years my work has ranged from class teaching, obedience, flyball, agility and working trials competition to running a popular dog display team. When I started my family I realised there was a genuine need for one-to-one help for family dogs; I formed Pawprint for behavioural consultations and training. My passion is to create and rebuild the ‘enjoyment factor’ that can come from owning your pet dog.

Sophie Gamand is a French award-winning photographer and animal advocate living and working in New York.  Since 2010, she has been focusing on dogs and our relationship with them. Sophie travels around the U.S. photographing shelter dogs for free, to help bring awareness to their fate, and help them get adopted. Her most known series are Wet Dog and Flower Power, Pit Bulls of the Revolution.  She has won several prestigious photography awards for her work (including a Sony World Photography Award in 2014), as well as advocacy awards for her dedication to animal rescue and adoption. Sophie's work has been published in the press worldwide, online and in print (Buzzfeed, Huffington Post, Oprah Magazine, ....).  Her first book, Wet Dog, came out in October 2015. Full shownotes: http://yourcreativepush.com/sophiegamand In this episode, Sophie discusses: -How her overly critical father killed a lot of her creative drives. -Her time spent in Art Law, opera singing, and creating a photography magazine. -Moving to New York and starting with a clean slate. -Deciding to tackle the thing that scared her the most – taking photographs of strangers. -Her visit to a vet clinic and the photography of a bulldog that was the catalyst for her new body of work. -The way in which we come full-circle back to the things we were interested in as children. -The question of where she would be had she been encouraged to do exactly what she loved. -Learning to ignore the destructive voices in your head, yet still trust the kind voices. -How she was mauled by a dog when she was younger and how she confronted that fear. -The bad reputation that Pit bulls have and how she is attempting to change that with Pit Bull Flower Power. -Being rejected by publishers for her book despite the enormous amount of traction that it received on social media. -Using Kickstarter to fund Pit Bull Flower Power. -The power of social media, especially for female artists. -How working with shelter dogs has affected her creative process. -The other creative outlets that her photography lets her tap into such as writing and making flower crowns. -Being frustrated with feeling like she doesn’t belong in a specific type of creative box. -The importance of that easy/difficult first step. -Taking a step back and getting perspective of the impact of your creative contribution. -The positives and negatives of the goalposts constantly moving for creative individuals. Sophie's Final Push will remind you to be kind to yourself and realize that all of those little steps you are taking are actually brining you towards something wonderful!   Quotes: “I had a clean slate and all the room to spread my wings and figure out what am I going to do now?  Who am I going to be?  That was scary as hell but also very exciting.” “The Universe just handed this to me on a silver platter with a little bow on it and I chickened out and walked away.” “We should trust our inner child more when it comes to our creative process.  As children, we know where our truth is.” “It was shattering to spend all those months being rejected when I thought this was going to be a walk in the park.” “As a creative, especially when I am in a darker mode, I cry and I think why can’t I know what I want to be?” “That first step is the easiest, most difficult and most important step.” “Art is about harnessing our fears.” Links mentioned: Pit Bull Flower Power by Sophie Gamand Sophie Gamand on the Pawprint podcast (talking about Frida) Youngman Brown on the Pawprint podcast Sophie's exhibit at The Invisible Dog Art Center Connect with Sophie: Website / Facebook / Instagram / Twitter On the next episode: Fieldey : Website / Instagram Join the discussion in the Facebook group!
