Summary::
If you listened to the past episode, you know that I was in Thailand a couple weeks ago and went to visit Ma:D Club for Social Enterprise. At the culmination of my interview with them, she suggested I speak with a couple guys who have a social enterprise and are using the environment as their workspace. So I bought them in!
These brothers are doing something really cool for Thailand. They are created alternate packing solutions that are not only more environmentally friendly but also allow street vendors to create a better income for themselves and their families.
“If any listener would like to start a social business, it would be good. Listen to the real problems of someone [you] would like to help and [you] can find the right solutions to help them.”
These guys speak Thai primarily, so I give them a lot of credit for sitting down to this interview without a prior outline. So join us on this glimpse of life and work in Thailand.
“Start with something little in your life; think about the others more. Do people around you have any problems that you can help? That is the start.”
