Paws Ptbo with Beka Foote | FlowCast # 47

Beka Foote is the founder of Paws Ptbo, a pet care and dog walking service. This conversation was a lot of fun and Beka has great energy. We talk about some of the unique skillsets and challenges to caring for animals, how to support local businesses the right way, and why acknowledging mental health is just as important in the business world as it is for individuals.
