In this episode, we head to India to talk to MAYURI BHATTACHARJEE, the founder of LOO WATCH, which is essentially India's first independent toilet auditors. Yes, I did say toilet auditors. She has put it upon herself to work to try and improve the sanitation and hygienical standards of her country by work tirelessly to improve the standards and cleanliness of toilets; teaching children through workshops to become accountable for their own "hardware" and reinforcing strong hygienical procedures, and working to help modify and change rules and regulations at the policy level. She couples this with a sustainable clothing venture based out of the Assam Province (her home area) of India, and altogether, she is an activist, a very determined individual, not to mention the most passionate person I have ever met in regards to toilets. We talked about her journey to get where she is now, how introverted nature doesn't have to stand in the way of you showing your passion for what you believe in, the actual politically-correct use of the word "shit", and how she believes that through absorbing and immersing yourself in your subject area, that you can make failure a less-likely result.
