Being Mission-Driven And Changing The World Through Soap with Founder Mera McGrew

The rise of conscious consumerism means there’s even more need to know where to turn to do the right thing. Today’s guest, Mera McGrew, is the founder of social enterprise Soapply, a sustainable hand wash company. She joins me as we discuss how micro-movements drive change, the mission-driven company’s culture, and making every part of a product purposeful. After living and working in Africa, Mera saw first-hand the reality of preventable child mortality and the difference that sustainable investments in water, sanitation, and hygiene could have on an individual, community, and region. Returning to the US, the connection was simple — everyone needs soap. Soapply provides consumers premium, toxin-free soap that helps put soap in the hands of those who cannot afford it around the world. As Mera says, “when you stay healthy you have an opportunity to learn, work, and do anything you want to do”.
