Listen "Founders Friday 039: Walking A Mile In People's Shoes; How Empathy Precedes Impact"

Episode Synopsis


As changemakers in the making or in practice, a dilemma often faced is the disconnect between our everyday lives and those of the people we want to help or empower.

This week’s founder-in-studio, Ziyaan Virji, born and raised in Tanzania, tells us the fascinating story behind “For the Menstruator"- an international social impact enterprise tackling period poverty. As someone who is definitely not a menstruator, Ziyaan breaks down the process and psychology that went into him launching and scaling his non-profit as well as the insane challenges along the way. 

From hilarious encounters to lessons on building successful social enterprises- we all take account of our collective journeys as founders and what our purpose is on a larger scale as humans with a calling to help our fellow man. 

Join us in the Boardroom for another insightful and laid-back conversation.
