Today, I’m joined by Rebecca Egger, co-founder & CEO of
Little Otter. 


Filling a gap in mental healthcare, Little Otter caters
specifically to the needs of young children. Co-founded by
Rebecca and her mother, a child psychiatrist, the company takes a
whole-family approach to kids’ therapy.


In this episode, we discuss Little Otter’s pediatric mental
health platform.


We also cover:


• Scaling direct-to-consumer and B2B channels
