Janet has interviewed many public figures such as then-Florida Democratic Senatorial candidate Kendrick Meek, former Atlanta mayor Shirley Franklin, CNN special correspondent Soledad O’Brien, Jamaican-American ski-cross champion Errol Kerr, money manager Bill Baker, Jamal Simmons, principal at The Raben Group, co-chair at the Internet Innovation Alliance & former strategist to then-presidential candidate Barack Obama, and many more fascinating individuals.
