Let's Go Win Podcast

What does it really take to turn a struggling business into a rapidly growing national franchise?

For Tim Vogel, CEO and co-founder of Scenthound, the answer wasn't overnight success. It was nearly two decades of persistence, experimentation, and learning when to slow down before scaling up.

In this episode of Let's Go Win, JM Ryerson sits down with Tim to explore his remarkable entrepreneurial journey, from launching a mobile dog grooming business that struggled to make money to creating an entirely new category in pet wellness and growing Scenthound to more than 170 locations.

Tim shares how he navigated the darkest moments of entrepreneurship, found the right mentors, discovered product-market fit, and built a franchise model designed for sustainable growth. They discuss the importance of patience, surrounding yourself with the right people, creating systems that scale, and leading with purpose rather than simply chasing profits.

You'll also discover why Tim believes routine hygiene is the missing fourth essential of dog care and how Scenthound is helping pet owners better understand their dogs' health.

The biggest lesson? Success isn't about moving faster. It's about having the persistence to keep going, the humility to keep learning, and the patience to build something that lasts.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, business leader, franchise owner, or dog lover, this conversation offers valuable insights into resilience, leadership, business growth, and building a company that makes a difference.

What if one of the most powerful principles for success in business, leadership, relationships, and life was also one of the simplest?

In the inaugural episode of the new chapter of Let’s Go Win, JM Ryerson shares a lesson that has shaped every business he has built, every relationship he has developed, and countless opportunities throughout his career: do what you say you’re going to do.

JM explores why accountability and follow-through are essential for building trust, and why we often keep commitments to other people while breaking the promises we make to ourselves. He challenges listeners to recognize the fears that hold them back, take action anyway, and build courage through consistent follow-through.

He also explains why underpromising and overdelivering can transform the way people experience you as a leader, salesperson, business partner, friend, or family member. When you make a commitment, your actions either strengthen trust or slowly erode it.

This episode sets the foundation for the new Let’s Go Win: practical strategies, mindset shifts, and conversations designed to help you become a better leader, build a stronger business, strengthen your relationships, and create a better life.

Because winning isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up consistently, doing the work, and becoming a little better every day.
