"Blood. Sweat. Tears. But it’s OURS."

Rod and Jodi Ruch of Pawsitively Spoiled dropped wisdom, grit, and heart into our morning.

From launching a daycare in the ‘90s to now owning 30+ rental properties, two Airbnbs, a heating & cooling company, and a pet care business, they’ve built their life around hustle, smart pivots, and taking risks with purpose.

“Mistakes will be made… but you recover. How you handle them is what matters.” – Rod
“If you want someone to invest, show them a plan that makes them feel confident.” – Jodi

Their story is proof that side hustles can become the main hustle, that you don’t need experience to start — just conviction, research, and relentless work. And above all, that nobody will care for your business like you do.

Plus, let’s be honest, having pups in the room made this guest speaker day an instant favorite. We’re walking away inspired to think bigger, work smarter, and bet on ourselves.

🐾 Thanks for sharing your journey and showing us that joy, legacy, and impact can all live under one roof.
