Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Just one I was seven to one is celebrating Women's
History Month with another female owned local business. Good morning
that We've been celebrating female entrepreneurs through the month of March,
and I'm excited to introduce you to Sydney and Maddie,
who are co owners of Bubbles and SuDS, our very
first dog grooming business on the show, located in south Gate.

(00:21):
Good morning, ladies, Good morning. So Maddie, we'll start with you.
How long did it take you from like, ooh, I
had this idea to ooh, now the idea is in motion.
I had the keys to the front door of my
dog room, our place.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
So I'd say it probably took us around a year
from the time we thought about opening our business to
the time we actually opened it. But yeah, around a year.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
And how old are you, guys?

Speaker 2 (00:45):
I'm twenty two, I'm almost twenty five.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Wow, in your young twenties. You're the second and third
female entrepreneurs that I've talked to this month about opening
a business and starting a business before you really have
a ton of life ex experience. If there is a
gal listening right now that might be in her young twenties,
it's like I think I have this really cool idea,
but all these butts come up, right, But I don't

(01:08):
have the experience, but I don't have the money, but
I don't have someone holding my hand. But Mattie, let's
start with you, or Sydney with you with as far
as like advice that you would.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Give, Definitely do your research. It's it is stressful and
it's a lot to think about, and it's a lot
that goes into planning it, which is why it took
a full year. I mean we've been in the business
for at least five years and we never really even
thought about going on our own because it is a
lot to handle. But I mean, once you get all

(01:37):
those little parts kind of situated and you have all
your research done, like when it comes to you know,
licenses and certifications you have to get and all that
to even open a business. Once you have it all down,
do it.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
Dude. I know, I really want you guys to so
you ladies to speak to the age thing too a
little bit, because I think when we think business owners,
we think are well established adults in their adult life
and you're like, well, guess what not that not here?
I am in my twenties, so what would you tell
a girl that was listening right now, Maybe Maddie.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
I'd say, just because you're young, it doesn't matter that
you can't do it. I mean, both of us went
into this. We barely had any money on our bank account.
We did have a lot of support from our parents,
so that helped a lot, but we had a lot
learn a lot about occupational license and it helps that
we're young. I mean, we have all this technology and
we're so young. We know how to use it. We

(02:30):
grew up with it, so we utilize the crap out
of technology. The system we use every day is very
high tech. I have to teach my mom about it
every day, but it's It's definitely the most rewarding thing
I think I've done in my entire life. I mean,
I'm graduating college and I still think the business is
more rewarding.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
That's good insight. So how do people find Bubbles and
SuDS outside of it being in Southgate? Do you have
an Instagram account?

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Our Instagram is at Bubblesandsuds dot llc, and then we
have a Facebook page. It was just Bubbles and SuDS.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Okay, awesome, Well, thank you so much for coming in
and being a part of this on Tiff in the Morning,
