Starting something that has a positive impact is incredibly difficult. We don't spend a lot of time focusing on positive change-makers in the media and who they are. This makes the regular person believe that they can't make an impact, but in fact, these changemakers are just like them with one difference: they took action. This podcast aims to inspire that first step to taking action on something you're passionate about and will make the world a better place.

Up Movement - How socks are helping amputees with prosthetic limbs
In this episode, I interview Tom Henskens to learn about his Social Enterprise Up Movement.
Up Movement donates 100% of profits (from selling socks) to help build prosthetic limbs in Cambodia. Their mission is to restore the freedom of human mobility for 35 million amputees worldwide that do not have access to proper prosthetic care.
20 pairs of socks = 1 Prosthetic limb. Amazing right? In this episode we cover the following:
Why and How Tom got started
What it's like to be an amputee
How Up Movement is changing peoples lives
Key marketing channels that have been working for Tom
