Authority Magazine Names Waggle CEO Steven Mornelli a "Social Impact Hero"

What an honor! Yitzi Weiner of Authority Magazine recently interviewed Waggle CEO Steven Mornelli as part of his series on individuals and organizations making an important social impact. Their conversation touches on Waggle's roots, Mornelli's inspirations for the organization, a few pieces of business advice, and how Waggle is making real change in the world.

She never thought she would have to ask others for help, either because she had her own financial means or could turn to family. However, following a really bad series of events, there was simply no other choice to save her beloved dog.
