We had the good fortune of connecting with Glo Fisher and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Glo, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
The idea of starting our business came from my daughter Kaaliyah. She wanted to open up a dog walking business and I just wanted her to believe in herself and be dedicated and determined to not quiet. So I help ran with her idea, developed K9 and Feline Daycare Services, LLC was formed. I ask her what made her want to get into pet sitting and it is because we struggle to find a pet sitter when we want to take a trip or vacation.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, Glo Fisher is a force to be reckoned with. As a world renowned multi-business entrepreneur, empowerment speaker, business coach, author, and philanthropist, she has challenged the odds and used her gifts and talents to reach ultimate success. However, her path was not always easy. While dealing with the harshness of emotional abuse in her home, she decided to be as active as possible outside of the home to escape from it all. She played soccer, joined the swim team, and the wrestling program, and was ecstatic to learn she was offered a full college soccer scholarship. However, after a long 18-hour drive to her new school, she learned that she was only offered a partial scholarship and could no longer afford to attend. Ambitious and determined not to go back home, she used her experience in the youth olympics, and enlisted in the US Navy to offset the college cost.

Shortly after joining the Navy, Glo was blessed to become pregnant, only to be told by her superiors that she would not amount to anything. Determined to prove them wrong, she rose through the ranks becoming a lieutenant and a high ranking position as an automated data processing officer. To date, she has proudly served for almost two decades, and using her skills, expertise, and knack for entrepreneurship, she mastered the art of leadership, perseverance, and pushing past life’s obstacles including divorce, mental and emotional turmoil, health and domestic issues, and becoming a single mother.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my best friend came in town we would like to spend time just catching up probably going to the Williamsburg Winery 5800 Wessex Hundred, Williamsburg, VA 23185.

We will just escape up the road and be in an almost secluded area. Where we can just have girl talk and vent about everything going on in our lives.

About how we have to move in silence because no one truly understand what it means to cut off society so we can make changes in our life.

Tasting wines can help us continue to make plans and goals to achieve for the future. And keeping each other accountable on our progress.

This Story is dedicated to my daughter Kaaliyah Jackson, my good Friend Dawn Davis that we push each other in never quitting on each others dream. My daughter wanted to team up Tiana Von Johnson to broaden her brand.
