Thank you!

Let me know if you have any questions or if there’s anything you’d like to talk about. The Podcast is based on conversations with entrepreneurs who have successfully built charitable giving into the heart of their business models. Entrepreneurs who tune in will hope to gain some lessons learned and unique ways to incorporate a “GIVE BACK” into their business and shoppers who tune in can link their values with their spending habits. WIN-WIN. 

All the best,
Christine
