Feature Friday with Beckett Flannery

“A kind and compassionate act is often its own reward.” William John Bennett

Given the intervening decades and experiences, it’s tough for me to remember my real mindset at 11 years old.  I know sports – both playing and watching – dominated most of my waking thoughts.  To say I had goals, short or long term, would be stretching the definition to almost a breaking point.  Starting a business was not even in my subconscious.  Charity was just a word.  That’s what makes my next guest(s) on Did You Know That? so interesting.

Beckett Flannery is 11 years old.  As of this recording, he’s 6+ months into running his first business, Beckett’s Bark Bites, and his motivations for starting the business were based in altruism.  This is an inspiring, and humbling, conversation with a young man (and his mom, Jessica) who puts perspective around the motivations behind why we do things.  This is a chat well worth your time.
