On this week’s episode of Don’t F*ck this Up, Lauren sits down with the incredible Jess Rona, entrepreneurial powerhouse and founder behind the multidimensional brand that is Jess Rona Grooming. You might have always wondered, what happens when you’re both a top improv talent and an award-winning groomer? Well, in Jess Rona’s case, you make a web series, film a library of educational content, open a brick and mortar, attract some amazing A-list clients, make incredible content, write a screenplay, create a product line, and win the hearts of LA’s cutest dogs - and their owners. No biggie.

Jess and Lauren discuss finding focus - and making up for lost time, the challenges of hiring good people, and why diversifying your revenue stream matters (a lot!). Jess also dishes on her upcoming product line and what else she’s manifesting in 2024. Come for the inspiration, creativity and hard work, stay for the ASMR dog baths, signature slo-mo blowouts and stories of the grooming olympics.
