About this episode:
Tune in to this podcast episode where we dive into the story of Megan Nufer – the CEO and founder of shopmayven.com- one of the only places on the internet where you can buy products from brands that align with the values that you believe in.
In 2020, Megan found herself at a career crossroads, encountering a glass ceiling regarding promotions and pay increases.
Rather than feeling disheartened about her predicament, she used it as an opportunity to tackle a problem plaguing the world – hate crimes against Asians, racism against African Americans following George Floyd's death, and the early onset of the pandemic.
This inspired her to launch shopmayven.com - empowering entrepreneurs to use their everyday struggles as motivation to create something better.
In this conversation, we'll discuss how entrepreneurs can consider these issues when creating businesses or products that will make a difference in people's lives.
We'll also explore Megan's journey from idea generation to implementation - including how she overcame obstacles along the way and what advice she would give those looking for inspiration for their ventures.
Get ready to be inspired by this Joytrepenuer who is transforming our world with her entrepreneurship!
