    229: Strategic Partnerships That Actually Work: The Pet-Inclusive Economy with PetsVivo's Luis Zamora
    Mar 28 2026
    Recorded live at Global Pet Expo on Day 1 (education day), this episode features a conversation Candace never planned to have - until she sat in Luis Zamora's session and realized this was exactly what Pet Boss Nation listeners needed to hear! Luis presented "Profiting from the Pet-Inclusive Economy Through Strategic Partnerships" at the Pet Summit, and instead of being a sales pitch for his platform (PetsVivo), it was packed with actionable strategies for small businesses to build partnerships that actually work. Because most pet businesses are stuck doing casual referrals - handing out business cards, hoping for the best, never tracking success - instead of building intentional, mutually beneficial partnerships. They discuss: 🙌 What PetsVivo does and how they are helping businesses attract the most in-demand demographic: pet parents 🙌 The difference between casual referrals and strategic partnerships 🙌 Creative partnership ideas you probably haven’t even thought about yet 🙌 Why Luis started PetsVivo inspired by his two dogs, Tuck and Banzo Plus resources from the Pet Inclusive Housing Initiative (PIHI) and why cat parents are getting the short end of the stick on pet fees! ABOUT LUIS ZAMORA Founder, PetsVivo Luis is the Co-Founder of PetsVivo, the pet operating system for housing and hotel properties. Before PetsVivo, he spent 6+ years in the investment world across film finance, real estate, and early-stage tech, giving him a strong perspective on how capital and consumer behavior are shaping the rapidly growing pet economy. He lives in Austin, TX with his partner and two rescue dogs, Tuck and Banzo (short for Garbanzo). When he’s not working in the pet space, you can find him playing soccer or volleyball, hiking with his pups, or out by the lake.
