The Dollar AND Difference Show
Technology:Podcasting
Hey Change Nation, we are back with our series featuring the ‘Best of SCN’! This series is focused on taking you back to some of our early days in podcasting and sharing the inspiring and challenging stories of our early entrepreneurs! This week we are featuring an entrepreneur who found a new use for an old product- a great way to be innovative! Co-founder Zach Holzapfel and his team realized that by implementing a social mission into their business, they could not only impact consumers of the product, but also others in the world who need resources for a better livelihood, thus, Mission Belt was formed! This company has the one belt that can give you a perfect fit every time. How you ask? No holes, no size requirements! The belts innovative design allows a new way to wear an old product without showing wear and tear! Even better yet, for every belt sold, Mission Belt donates $1 to the Kiva foundation, a peer-to-peer non-profit organizations whose mission is to connect people through lending to alleviate poverty! Check into the podcast below to learn more about Mission Belt!
