023: How To Build LGBTQ+ Inclusive Pet Businesses- An Interview with Barbara Mundis

LGBTQ people own more than 1.4 million small businesses in the United States, and those companies bring in an estimated 1.7 trillion in revenue. Those numbers continue to rise, which we love to see, but we want to stress creating an overall inclusive world always. 

June is Pride Month, and as an ally to the LGBTQ+ community, we’re kicking things off with an interview with a member of that community who also happens to be a thriving member of the Pet Boss Club™️!
