Mo of Mo Mountain Mutts: Wilderness, Training & Family - 3-Part Series

Kicking off the first episode of a must-listen 3-part series, I sat down with Morgan (Mo) Thompson to learn about her inspiring journey founding Mo Mountain Mutts in Skagway, Alaska. Mo shares how her story began when she moved from Michigan with her husband, who wanted to escape the restaurant industry and teach in AK, while she boldly proclaimed she needed a puppy and the rest is history.   What started as a small, no-vehicle operation just caring for friends’ dogs on her bike quickly grew into a community staple. Mo describes her early days balancing multiple jobs in the service industry before COVID-19 turned her life upside down. Through all the uncertainty, she and her dogs found new creative outlets, especially with their fun TikTok account, showcasing their goofy relationship and the animal-centered lifestyle they’ve built in the Last Frontier.   This episode gives a heartfelt introduction to Mo’s passion for dogs and her adventures in AK. It’s a genuine look at how taking a leap of faith and following your calling can lead to a fulfilling and inspiring life. Stay tuned for part 2 as Mo shares even more of her story!
