A Podcast for Animal People Who Take the Business Side Seriously

Creatures: Where Animal People Talk Business is a new podcast for breeders, farmers, breed associations, animal nonprofits, conservation organizations, and anyone building something around animals. We're not afraid to talk about money, what things actually cost, what animals sell for, and what it takes to make the numbers work. We'll also dig into the topics many people avoid: controversial breeding practices, regulation, industry politics, and the real tensions between conservation, commerce, and animal welfare. Host Elliott Garber is a veterinarian, Army officer, and small-scale breeder of highland cattle and miniature donkeys in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. He's also the founder of Creatures, the software platform to help animal businesses. Each episode features conversations with breeders, farmers, rescue founders, conservationists, and animal entrepreneurs who've figured out how to find buyers and donors, grow an audience, and turn their passion for animals into something that supports their mission. Topics include livestock marketing, animal sales, breeding programs, farm business strategy, fundraising for animal nonprofits, wildlife conservation, social media for breeders, and building a brand in the animal world.
