S1/E13: Doing Good: Innovation, Persistence, and Passion with Cindy Dunston Quirk

Cindy believes that doing business differently is the only way that works for her. She was inspired to start Scout & Zoe’s because her dogs had allergies and struggled to find great treat and chew options. She knew that she could make a better chew, so she did. It wasn’t long before she was using her background in sales - and her experiences of being fired from previous jobs - to launch Scout & Zoe’s. Her passion for high-quality products and better choices in pet nutrition sparked an entrepreneurial journey and her drive to deliver nutritious treats to pets worldwide.Cindy discusses her business philosophy and how values influence her business, her attitude towards life, business growth, and making sure to turn off your work at the end of the day. She also talks about the importance of being flexible and patient in the face of challenges, and how she remains passionate, innovative, and persistent after fifteen years of business. You don’t want to miss her latest project, 'Scouting for the Cure', an initiative to fund research into hemangiosarcoma, which she founded in honor of her dog, Scout.
