We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Darnell Wilson a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Darnell , appreciate you joining us today. We’d love to have you retell us the story behind how you came up with the idea for your business, I think our audience would really enjoy hearing the backstory.
It all started when I was 18 years old running a non- profit pet rescue. I would take in pets off the streets providing them with shelter food and love, (Love for pups animal rescue) working at Morrison Animal Hospital at the time they would give me discounts on vaccines and their check ups. Although the passion was there although receiving donations it just wasn’t enough that’s when the idea for the business side came in and lovable Paws pet services was born. The logic was if I can start a business for profit I could continue with the passion while having a percentage go towards the rescue
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
Animals have always been a strong passion for me ever since the age of 7 years old with rescue in mind, seeing the importance of pet health though grooming and education for the owners. As the business grows this year will be the best year yet with our new product line coming out with our all natural and organic pet shampoo pet treats and pet dog food and now with the addition of I AM DUKE WILSON brand with acting and modeling incorporating pet fashion shows will be a welcomed addition
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
Where do I begin so many stories, once I was on my way to drop off a pet to its new home when my truck broke down on the side of the road on the expressway in the evening time 2 hours away in the pouring rain . When I got out to see what the issue was locking my self out of the car with the dog and my phone still inside with my only option being to yell through a small opening of the window asking Siri to call 911 hoping that they could tell where I was by the gps signal from my phone
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
How hard I would always go for pets from rescue, training, veterinary care and boarding and day care I always felt that my audience could see the passion in me
