In this episode, Franchise Interviews speaks with Anthony Amos, founder of the mobile dog-grooming brand HydroDog. Anthony launched the concept in Australia at age 21 alongside his career as a professional rugby player, scaling it into a massive franchise success before launching in the United States.
To introduce HydroDog to the American market, Anthony and his family embarked on the nationwide, 50-state BatheToSave.com Tour, hosting public dog-washing events to raise funds for local shelters and drive rescue adoptions at a critical time for shelter canine populations. That mission now lives on through HydroDog's rapidly expanding U.S. franchise network, where local owners regularly host community dog-washing events to support rescue pets across the country.

Dr. Martin McDermott is also the author of Rock Star MBA, a book that explores the lessons learned from rock stars, musicians, actors, artists, and other creative professionals. Drawing from decades of interviews and research, Dr. McDermott discovered that many successful performers have developed valuable insights on leadership, entrepreneurship, marketing, creativity, and personal growth. Many of the insights featured in Rock Star MBA originated from conversations and interviews conducted through Franchise Interviews. Rock Star MBA challenges readers to see art and business not as opposites, but as complementary ways of understanding innovation, value creation, and human connection.
