About this episode
Gina Lamay shares her inspiring journey of building G Dogz while navigating personal challenges and mental health.
In this episode of Business Over Beer , I sit down with Gina Lamay (Coach G) — the owner of G Dogz out in Denver, Colorado (Central Park neighborhood) — for a conversation that’s equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and straight-up inspiring. We talk about her 10-year hustle building G Dogz, how her background in mental health shaped the way she coaches dogs (and supports the humans attached to them), and why “ it’s okay to not be okay ” isn’t just a phrase — it’s a way of life. Coach G also shares the wild story of breaking her neck early in her business journey… and how community, mindset, and asking for help helped her push through. Oh — and yes… she shows up with Spotted Cow . Because Wisconsin finds you no matter where you run. 🧀🍺 Follow Coach G Instagram: @g_dogz Website: gdogz.com X: @bizoverbeer Instagram: @bizoverbeerpodcast TikTok: @bizoverbeer Follow Ben: @ben_surratt on Instagram Follow Passages to Success: @passagestosuccess. https://linktr.ee/Bizoverbeerpodcast www.bizoverbeer.com #BusinessOverBeer #SmallBusinessStories #PodcastEpisode #WisconsinVibes #DogTraining
