In this deeply personal episode of The Iron Rangers Podcast, the Rangers respond to the recent loss of a fellow small business owner—a tragedy that has shaken our community and brought to light the heavy burdens many of us carry in silence.

Steve and Chris open up about their own mental health struggles—PTSD, panic attacks, depression, substance abuse, and anxiety—and what it feels like to constantly navigate the roles of father, husband, business owner, and community member. While they are not mental health professionals, they discuss some of the tools and approaches that have helped them cope and keep moving forward.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, isolated, or like you’re falling short—this episode is for you.

You’re not alone. If you or someone you love is struggling, please reach out for help. Call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

In this episode of The Iron Rangers Podcast, we sit down with Sadie Rumberger, the founder and owner of Canine Clubhouse, a popular dog daycare and boarding facility with locations in Harrisburg and Mechanicsburg. Both Steve and I are loyal customers of Canine Clubhouse, and we loved having Sadie join us to share her journey. Sadie talks about her lifelong passion for animals, how she turned that passion into a thriving business, and the extensive research that went into opening her first location. We explore the unique challenges of running a business that serves both people and pets, from the technical demands of managing hundreds of dogs daily to navigating the complexities of COVID-19. Sadie also shares her thoughts on entrepreneurship, the lessons she's learned, and, of course, her favorite dogs at Canine Clubhouse. If you love dogs, business stories, or just want to learn how passion can turn into a successful venture, you’ll enjoy this conversation.
