Maria Russo: From Creating A Successful Online Magazine, To Finding Her Life's Purpose As A Non-Profit Founder

I'm sure we would all love to find that one thing that lights us up and gets us excited each day. Maria Russo can confidently say she found her purpose after starting her own non-profit called Humanity Unified International in Rwanda with her husband. 

Like most entrepreneurs, getting to this point wasn't a straight line and it wasn't an overnight decision. She spent most of her 20's going from job to job, exploring different interests and realizing quite quickly, that working on celebrity content and entertainment just wasn't for her.

She loved to travel and was drawn to tell stories of people making a global impact. So out of sheer interest, Maria started a blog called The Culture-ist which eventually took off and morphed into a successful online magazine with collaborations with National Geographic and other prominent brands.

Tune into this episode if you are curious about social good, changing lives and doing purposeful work that's changing the world for the better.
