Dogs are not our whole life, but
they make our lives whole, that was said by photographer Roger
Karris. Maybe you are, or aren’t a dog person. I’m a dog person. We
have two dogs at home, Tater who is a pitbull cattle dog mix, and
Audrey Hepburn who is a cavalier king charles spaniel. I will let
you all figure out which one was my husbands when we got married.
Whether or not you’re a dog person, there’s pretty much no denying
that dogs hold a special place in our lives and in society. I
remember when I was in high school, I got really sick and spent a
few weeks in the hospital. The best day of the week was when the
therapy dog came by. I never wanted those moments to end. Dogs can
bring so much to a family, a person, a community. They protect,
they nurture, they cuddle, they play, they heal, they are a gift.
Our guest today, Marshall Morris, had a passion for helping dogs
and humans, and found a way to have an impact on both.
ON LEARNING TO BUILD A BUSINESS THAT GIVES BACK
After his Army career, Marshall was
seeking more purpose in his career. He found himself jumping from
job to job, before everything fell into place. He soon found
himself building businesses that surrounded that allowed him to
combine his love for dogs, and his servant heart for veterans. The
community spoke, and his business listened, ensuring that each
product gave back to the communities they serve, as they continued
to grow. iHeart Dogs not only donates toys to shelters, but gives
back to provide veterans with services they may need.
DEALING WITH
PHASES IN BUSINESS Through
scaling multiple businesses, Marshall has learned the various ways
to get through hurdles in business. Whether you’re in a niche
business, or gaining a community of family, Marshall walks through
the ways to persevere in business, and learn from the feedback of
your community. THE PSYCHOLOGICAL BENEFITS OF
PETS
Marshall dives into the proven benefits of not
only veterans having dogs, and pets in general, but as human beings
the benefits that we reap interacting with dogs. Their emotional
connection is proven through science but also in the way that human
beings as a species cherish their pets as family. Every day new
research is being done as to the real effects of war, but also the
real treatments that could improve the quality of life of
veterans. About Marshall Morris.
