  • TikTok for Groomers: How to Get More Clients Without Dancing
    Apr 10 2026

    Think TikTok isn’t for you? Think again.

    In this episode, Bill is joined by Ciara Attwell to break down how pet groomers can actually use TikTok to grow their business – without feeling awkward or overwhelmed.

    Ciara shares her journey from complete beginner to building a strong online presence, and explains how groomers can do the same using what they already do every day in the salon.

    They cover:

    • Why TikTok is a powerful tool for attracting new clients
    • The importance of posting consistently (even if it’s simple content)
    • Why engagement matters more than follower numbers
    • How to turn everyday grooming into content ideas
    • Using trends and current topics to boost visibility

    The key message? You don’t need to go viral or be “perfect” – you just need to show up regularly and be real.

    For groomers, TikTok can be one of the easiest ways to build trust, showcase your work and stand out locally.

    If you’ve been unsure where to start with social media, this episode will give you the confidence and clarity to give it a go.

  • Simple Systems, Better Salon: How to Run Your Grooming Business More Efficiently with Marianne Page
    Apr 3 2026

    Do you feel like your business depends on you for everything?

    If you’re constantly firefighting, answering questions and dealing with the same issues over and over again, the problem might not be your team… it might be your systems.

    In this episode, Bill is joined by business coach and author Marianne Page, to talk about her book Simple, Logical, Repeatable and how systems can completely change the way you run your grooming business.

    They break down:

    • Why most grooming businesses lack clear systems
    • How simple routines and checklists can reduce daily stress
    • What the MC Freedom System is and how it works
    • How to build a team that doesn’t rely on you for every decision
    • Why consistency improves both client experience and business growth

    Marianne shares lessons from her time working with McDonald’s, showing how even small grooming salons can benefit from structured, repeatable processes.

    Because when your business runs on systems instead of memory, everything becomes easier – from training staff to delivering a consistent service to every client.

    If you’re feeling overwhelmed or stuck in the day-to-day running of your salon, this episode will help you step back and start building a business that works without you being involved in everything.

    As always, I'd like to thank the podcast sponsor, Lopay, the low-cost payment platform that helps you keep more of the money you earn.

  • From Electricians to Groomers: Building a Better Life Through Dog Grooming
    Mar 27 2026

    What if switching careers could give you more freedom, better income and a lifestyle you actually enjoy?

    In this episode, Bill speaks with Amey and Matt, who made the bold move from working as electricians to building a successful dog grooming business.

    Their story will sound familiar to many groomers, starting fresh, learning on the go and figuring out how to turn a skill into a profitable business.

    They share:

    • Why did they decide to leave their old careers behind
    • The reality of starting out in the grooming industry
    • How they approached pricing to make the business work financially
    • What they did to attract and retain clients
    • How they’ve created a better work-life balance by working smarter, not harder

    One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is that grooming doesn’t just have to be a job – it can be a complete lifestyle upgrade when done right.

    Amey and Matt’s journey shows what’s possible when you’re willing to take a risk, adapt quickly and build your business with intention.

    If you’ve ever thought about changing direction, growing your current business or creating more freedom in your life, this episode will give you both inspiration and practical insight.
