Shlanda Breeden, Ms. National US, Animal Advocate and Community Leader, always loved animals. She was known for bringing in stray cats and dogs as a child. With her support, compassion and family resources the animals were cared for until they were adopted or moved to a reputable shelter. Caring for animals continues to be her passion. She became even more compassionate when one of her dogs contracted cancer. She learned how expensive it was/is to address pet cancer care. She learned that one pill could cost as much as $400. She knew that covering those cancer treatments at that level was not sustainable. After an extensive search, she was able to find medications at a much lower cost. Whether your pet is healthy or needs medical care, this podcast is for you.

Karl McKenzie, serial entrepreneur, son of a Jamaican immigrant, is one of the most fascinating stories I have heard. His father came to America as a stowaway on a cargo ship during the depression era. Karl learned perseverance from his father, compassion from his mother and discipline from his siblings. However, he didn’t apply those qualities until later in his life. He like some of my previous guests, heard the sound of a different drummer. He learned a lot working for others but was more comfortable working for himself. Although he did not earn a college degree he was as successful as his friends who did because he was street smart.
