The Owners of Baily's Daily Pet Care join our show and share an uplifting story about their journey. Owner Bailey Roberts and Danny Brindisi went to high school together at Whitesboro. Bailey immersed herself in an animal science program, while Danny played football where he was a standout for coach Tom Schoen.

Bailey hit the ground running, working at a salon, she groomed and rode horses growing up which contributed to her love for dogs. She learned how to groom dog's as well, which was the start of her original business. Doing home visits for grooming, walking, staying overnight babysitting dogs, along with watching them at her house.

Danny is a natural specimen who started at offensive tackle for Whitesboro as a junior and senior. Recruited by SUNY Morrisville, he studied computer engineering and played football for two years before realizing he wanted more from life.

Good friends in high school, Bailey and Danny became a couple after graduation. When Danny visited, he would help Bailey with the dogs, and they became a great team. Bailey already was thinking about starting her own business when Danny came to her and said let's do it!

Bailey always had an entrepreneurial spirit, and everything fell into place, from finding a building, securing finances, insurance, and retaining her existing clients. Opening in January 2021 presented obstacles because people didn't feel safe leaving home and they had 5 dogs a day for an entire month.

Bailey bet on herself, has full confidence in her talent and has grown the business into an incredible success in 3 short years. Danny is polite, personable, happy, and maintains a positive attitude along with being a rock of support for Bailey. He also has a desire and determination because of having such a strong work ethic, he takes pride in everything he does, regardless of the job at hand.

Danny said the most important factor is that organization improved and is now a well-oiled machine. He also stressed the importance of communication, and he takes extra time to be sure staff understands expectations. If you need transport, Danny is out the door picking up dogs at 8am and drops them off later.

The much-anticipated interview with Coach Randy Edsall took place and was outstanding. From a small town in Glen Rock, PA, Randy was thrust into big time college football at Syracuse. Always a student of the game, he stayed on as a graduate assistant before advancing though different positions over 12 years at the Cuse. Starting off as a quarterback, Randy found his success on the defensive side of the ball where he made a name for himself. We talk about his time at Boston College working for Tom Coughlin, along with moving to Georgia Tech to gain coordinator experience knowing his ultimate goal was to become a head coach. Focus, dedication, motivation and understanding hard work was the only way he knew how to do things. Coach credits Athletic Director Lew Perkins for ultimately bringing him to Connecticut with a plan and vision in place. Lew saw the future of how a major college FBS football program was a game changer. Coach Edsall provides incredible insight on the challenges of recruiting, NIL deals and the transfer portal. A proud father watching his son coach at Stanford and a 5 handicap on the golf course has fulfilled him in retirement. Coach built UConn, which was considered a basketball school from the ground up, won several bowl games, and he is most proud to see the success of his players because it was about preparing them for life, which he took pride in. As he told me, coach never lied to his kids, he always told the truth, which they may not have wanted to hear, but his care was in the best interest of the players. An exceptional interview and I am grateful coach took the time to sit down with us.
