From Scared to 100 Donations to Board Member

Most of the time, I’m talking about business planning, marketing, sales, back-end operations, and other key topics to help your consulting and services startup succeed.

But today, in observance of World Blood Donor Day, I’m talking about another aspect of my business and personal life: giving back.

One way of giving back that has been important to me has been blood donation. It all started many years ago when a friend of a friend needed blood in a medical emergency.

Watch the video to learn more about this first experience and how it led me to a role on the board of my local American Red Cross.
