In our latest episode of The Daily Groomer, I sit down with my good friend Nick Diamond—aka Nikki Dimes—founder of Chubbs Mobile Grooming in Paradise Valley, Arizona. We dive into his unique path from baseball and the corporate world to launching a successful mobile grooming business inspired by his late dog, Chubbs. Nick opens up about his hands-on business philosophy, creative marketing strategies, and how he built a loyal client base from the ground up. He also shares candid stories, lessons from early missteps, and why he believes grooming is one industry that’s here to stay—no matter how smart AI gets.
