Lessons from Leaders: Featured Guest Amany Killawi, Co-founder of LaunchGood
Episode description
“I didn’t wake up and decide it’s time to build a crowdfunding platform for a global community of 1.8 million Muslims. I didn’t even think about being an entrepreneur.”
This week I sit down with Amany Killawi, who has had such a unique and inspiring journey to where she is now, an honoree by INK Magazine’s top female founder.
Amany is the co-founder and COO of LaunchGood: a global crowdfunding platform for campaigns, projects and creative ideas. She is a social worker turned social entrepreneur who through LaunchGood has raised over 15 million for 1,500+ projects, impacting 70+ countries.
One thing I loved about this episode was the comparison of a fixed mindset versus a growth mindset. Amany is a true, acting growth mindset leader who has allowed space of transition and evolution in her career.
This episode is particularly inspirational for anyone interested in a transition be it for an organizational change, or positional change, I encourage you to listen, learn, and take the change.
Thank you Amany!
