Pay It Forward With A Purpose-Led Business | Anna Violet Lieby Bartle
In this episode we dig into the concept of paying it forward. You’ll hear the story of Henry Darby, a high school principal in South Carolina, who took a part-time graveyard shift at Walmart, so he could pay his salary forward to students in need.
We bring home the pay-it-forward concept as we tell the sweet story of The Giving Cake, a cupcake company that donates 100% of their profits to community charities. Violet Anna Lieby describes how decorating cakes moved quickly from hobby to passion project and became a business in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, launching in December 2020. The Giving Cake now delivers beautiful floral cupcake bouquets direct-to-consumers all over Santa Cruz County. Their customers even get to choose which charity their purchase will benefit every time they place an order. You’ll discover how to vote with your dollars and your time.
