Series 3 - Ep 24 - Joanne Wooding - K9 Kookies

In this episode, host Julie Woods talks with Joanne Wooding, founder of K9 Kookies, about her journey into business after vision loss caused by intraocular lymphoma. Joanne shares how she adapted her baking skills to create natural dog treats using simple, healthy ingredients, and how her dogs help her test every new flavour. She discusses resilience, adaptive techniques, and the role of assistive technology in running her business, as well as the support she’s received from the Disability Business Network. Joanne also reflects on her dream of offering healthy alternatives to supermarket dog treats and encouraging other disabled entrepreneurs to “grab life by the horns.” This show was broadcast on OAR 105.4FM Dunedin - http://oar.org.nz
