Episode 171: From Detroit Tigers to Conscious Entrepreneurship with Amy Peterson
“There’s very little difference between me and the women in the shelter. If you don’t have a support network, one tiny choice can derail your life”
I’m saying this now and I’ll say it again - you can change the world with your business. And if ‘change your world’ sounds too big and dramatic, then you can change your community with your business. Today’s guest, Amy Peterson, is proof that can happen. She is the founder of Rebel Nell, a jewelry company that provides employment and creative opportunities for women with barriers to employment - think living in a shelter, coming out of jail, working hard to get their life back on track. Amy never expected to have a career in jewelry, as an entrepreneur or as a social entrepreneur. Get excited to listen to her story and be inspired.
