After 5ish: Shiza Shahid on Balancing Purpose and Profit
0:00
Description
As a kid growing up in Islamabad, Shiza Shahid volunteered in grassroots initiatives to help Pakistani women get an education. And that early interest in service pushed her to always advocate for important issues through her career. From the founding Malala Fund to her current biz, Our Place, Shiza says: a lot of good can be achieved through a combo of non-profit advocacy work and for-profit businesses. In this episode, Shiza shares:
Why she took on a variety of jobs and how that choice shaped her life
How you can always find ways to create positive change – no matter how old you are
Why ditching the idea of “perfection” is key to creating quality products
The importance of understanding a brand’s history as a way to make better choices as a consumer
