The unorthodox entrepreneur transforming London youth unemployment with Bridget Callaghan Ep.12

Do you long to make a positive change and impact in your community or the world? We often think that the only way to do that is to donate our hard earned money to charities or to volunteer. But what if you could create a business where being profitable and making an impact could coexist? 
Our guest in today’s episode shares with us what it means to build an impact driven business and put people and sustainability at the forefront of your business strategy.
We talk about what it takes to build a startup hospitality business from scratch, the challenges of focusing on making a social and environmental impact as a business, how to put on your problem solving hat on and so much more!
Today’s guest is Bridget Callaghan, founder of the multi-award winning pizzeria, Well Kneaded in London, winning awards for environmental sustainability, women in food for employing young people on the margins, and 2022’s entrepreneur of the year for Wandsworth enterprise awards. 
With nothing but £5000 in savings in startup capital, she was dead set on starting a food business with the sole purpose of helping unemployed young people with disadvantaged backgrounds find work and build a better future.

What you think you know about shaping culture is wrong with Raj Khaira Ep. 10

Is it possible to shape culture as an individual? And is it possible to shift entrenched, long standing core beliefs of a community or organisation?
Our guest today, shares how she’s transforming her community in the hopes of leaving a lasting impact. 
We talk about strategies to challenge and shape culture, the reality of leading a movement, sexism, monetising activist work and so much more. 
Raj Khaira is a lawyer, author, anti-oppression activist and is one of few ethnic minority women in the UK to have held a role in the c-suite of a tech company. 
Raj is also the founder of the globally acclaimed, award winning campaign, the Pink Ladoo Project, which is a global gender equality campaign by encouraging South Asian families in the diaspora to abandon sexist customs and celebrate girls' births. The campaign has inspired the celebration of the birth of thousands of girls in South Asian communities across the world. 
In addition to that, Raj launched southasiantherapists.org, the world’s first global directory of South Asian therapists in June 2020 in the height of the pandemic which quickly became the largest South Asian mental health community in the world. 
Her first book, Stories for South Asian Supergirls, was published in May 2019 and was selected as Children's Book of the Week and Children's Book of the Month by the Times and the Guardian. Volume 2 of Supergirls will be releasing in 2024.

Whether you’re on Instagram and wondering if the grass is greener on Pinterest or vice versa, stick around and I’ll compare the 2 platforms to help you figure out which one is right for you.
