Sundry Edition

A Biweekly Newsletter by Salt of the Earth Consulting, LLC
Vol. 8 | October 5, 2022

At Salt of the Earth Consulting, we created Sundry Edition as a way to further our mission to be a trusted and beneficial partner within our community. Each newsletter includes a curated list of articles that fit a theme within the financial services industry. And, because all of us at SOTE share a passion for music, we always include a few song recommendations!


Every Dog Has Its Day

With young adults treating their pets like any other member of their family, unexpected companies are spending big money to enter the pet product space. Pet industry leaders like Petco are also embracing the “pet humanization” trend and betting that pet owners will continue to spend more even in times of inflation and economic uncertainty. And have you ever thought about bringing your dog to work with you? Financial Times recently spoke with a financial services professional who says, “in [her] next job [she] will consider the ability to bring a dog to work quite a key feature, [as] it signifies the culture of the company.”

At SOTE, we see a parallel with these changes and how we help financial institutions. Part of what we do is help financial services professionals think about change, innovation, future planning, and risk management solutions. Interested in chatting about our services? You can contact us here.
