Vic Verchereau welcomes Josh Hart, who is the Founder of Riley's Candles. Josh Hart returns to the show and shares an update on his cause related business, Riley’s Candles. They are on a mission to save the lives of dogs who need emergency surgeries. Riley, the hero of this story is the founder, Chief Beagle Officer, best friend and currently a 13-year-old rescue beagle with great luck. He is the "pet" of Josh Hart, the man behind the beagle! When Riley was 3, he was paralyzed for the first time. His "parents" were newly married and could not afford the roughly $10,000 in surgery and recovery it was going to take to save his life, however, the only other option was to put him down. In desperation the charges were spread over every credit card and his life was spared; Riley Survived! In this updated edition of the Leadership Lowdown we catch up with Josh Hart and hear his "tail" of turning the pet world upside down and creating an entrepreneurial journey with a howling mission and some wagging tails.
