On Episode 23 of This is Small Business, Andrea talks to two inspiring entrepreneurs who have successfully integrated social impact into their business model to find out how you can make a positive impact in your community while growing your business. First up, Founder & CEO of Iya Foods Toyin Kolawole walks us through her journey of giving back through her business and how that helped her stay afloat and even supply her competitors during the pandemic. She also talks about how giving back to the community includes making sure your customers receive the best product possible because they’re the one’s funding your efforts to give back. Next, Nadia Martinez, Founder & CEO of Kallie & Co, talks about all the creative ways you can give back to the community without spending too much money – or any money at all – and how to deal with the guilt that you may feel when you’re benefiting from your donations. Join Andrea as she lists all the key takeaways that’ll help you grow your business through giving back.
