Episode 439: Behind the Scenes at IMPACT 2026, The Disnify Your Pet Business Success Summit

from The Poodle to Pitbull Pet Business Podcast · host Dom Hodgson

What really happens when you get 60+ ambitious pet business owners in a room together and get to work? Can two days away from work genuinely change the direction of your business? And why do so many owners leave events like IMPACT 2026 with clarity – and the action plan – they've been chasing for years? In this episode, I'm recording LIVE from Orlando after an incredible week that included a mastermind meeting, theme parks of both the Disney and Universal varieties, and — most importantly — IMPACT 2026: How to Disnify Your Dog Daycare. After months of preparation, ticket pushing, and speaker sorting-out, the event delivered in every possible way. You'll hear directly from attendees as they share their biggest takeaways such as launching induction programmes that are guaranteed to boost retention, finally understanding the keynote speaker's EBITDA framework to prepare their businesses for sale, and the importance of stepping out of "worker bee" mode and into true CEO leadership. The room was packed with engaged, growth-focused owners who truly committed to taking action on what they learned. I also share details about the launch of the Dog Daycare Success Academy, the next evolution of my coaching programme, and why this new structure is designed to help serious daycare owners build stronger, more scalable, systemised businesses. In this episode, you'll discover: The Induction Programme Breakthrough – How better onboarding increases retention and revenue. From Operator to Owner – Why stepping into the CEO role unlocks growth and freedom. EBITDA and Exit Strategy Thinking – How building for sale makes your business stronger today. Systems for Everything – Why documenting what's in your head is critical for scalability. The Power of the Live Event Room – What happens when ambitious pet pros challenge and inspire each other.
