6:00 pm: 30% & Growing Goes Virtual6:00 pm: 30% & Growing Goes Virtual – We are in for a real treat this month to have a guest speaker who will make an employment related topic fun, as well as informative. The individual who hits this mark in both categories is Dr. Hoby Wedler. Dr. Wedler wears many professional hats, one of them being a blind scientist. I have asked Him to share his experience with what it takes to start your own business as a blind entrepreneur. What have been his successes? Failures? Then, of course, we will learn how his latest venture into the spice world came about!
