Carole Baskin is the CEO of Big Cat Rescue and megastar of the hit Netflix docuseries Tiger King. She runs a real estate business and manages 100+ volunteers and interns from around the world and 10 staff and contractors. She has run the Tampa based non-profit since 1992 and has garnered international attention to the plight of captive big cats on CNN, Animal Planet, Discovery, U.S. News & World Report, People Magazine, The Today Show, Sports Illustrated, Netflix, Wondery, all of the local media outlets and many more national and international programs. She is the host of the Cat Chat Show, a live interview with cat experts from around the world.
Baskin joins The Work From Home Show to discuss Tiger King, its effect on work from homers during the height of the pandemic, its cultural and political impacts, how real estate has funded nearly every endeavor she's done, and what's next for her.
Baskin has funded all her wild cat sanctuaries through real estate investing. She started buying any real estate in the 80's through foreclosure - primarily land, mobile home parks, and apartments. She now owns a ton of acreage. What's amazing is that she doesn't believe in debt and has paid for all of her real estate in cash. Her reasons for doing this make sense, especially once eviction moratoriums kicked in 2020.
