insPAWed: Episode Ten – Michael Mulkern

In this episode of insPAWed, we sit down with Michael Mulkern of Mulkern Ventures LLC to share how his Cavapoo Benji became the inspiration behind both a pet wellness brand and a children’s book series.

Based in Groveland, Massachusetts, with manufacturing in Beverly, Michael created Benji’s Blend, a CBD pet wellness line inspired by the bond he shares with Benji. Benji also became one of the main characters in the children’s book Maverick & Benji’s Brave Adventure.

What started as the connection between one man and his dog grew into creative projects centered around pet wellness, storytelling, and companionship. Through his brands, Michael combines his love for animals with products and stories designed to support both pets and families.

In this conversation with host Cyndie Morgan and co-host Nigel, we discuss how Benji shaped Michael’s path, the inspiration behind his wellness and storytelling brands, and how pets can spark both creativity and purpose.
