Episode description

Ever wondered where that barely-used bar of soap went after your last hotel visit?

Erin Zaikis goes into her incredible journey in founding Sundara: a nonprofit organization that partners with slum women in India, Myanmar & Uganda to recycle soap & provide hygiene education to the communities that need it the most.

5 things to listen out for:

(1) How a trip to rural Thailand inspired her to take action and start a soap company 

(2) Making bars of soap in her Manhattan apartment and why she transitioned from a social business to a non-profit

(3) Why soap is often overlooked and why it is so powerful in preventing disease, empowering women and saving lives

(4) The steps she took to fundraise, spread the word and build her nonprofit

(5) Personal: what inspires her, what success means to her, what her plans are for the future, what makes a happy life, books that have helped her through the process and more

I hope you enjoy the conversation - please share this with your friends and help spread the word!
