Jasmine Crowe talks about how she created Goodr, how it works, the ways in which she overcame the odds and raised funding for Goodr, and the impact that it is making for hunger, global climate change and effectively solving some of the world's biggest problems. Episode Highlights: Allison Hare introduces Jasmine Crowe. Jasmine Crowe defines what Goodr is. How did Jasmine start Goodr? She explains Black Celebrity Giving (BCG). How did she get the vision for Goodr? How did she put the technological side of Goodr into place? What was the fork in the road for Jasmine Crowe’s journey?

One out of six children in the United States are going hungry. What have been the most amazing moments Jasmine Crowe has experienced by doing Goodr? Plan your work and work your plan. What does Goodr need to expand as a business? Can Jasmine measure the impact that Goodr is making? 3 Key Points Goodr raised $1.1 million dollars when only 2% of venture capital goes to women-owned businesses, and less than half of that for women of color. 27% of everything in our landfills today is food, which is the largest single source, a 50% increase from 40 years ago. As food waste sits, it rots and it produces methane gas which is the number 2 contributor to global climate change. Tweetable Quotes: (Goodr) “We are a tech-enabled food waste management company and we are leveraging technology to combat hunger and reduce food waste. I’ve been working on it since late 2016. I officially launched it in January 2017.” –Jasmine Crowe “I think a lot of people have really great ideas, but lack the execution, and I made a to-do list. Like, this is step 1, step 2, this is the name, get the Facebook page.” –Jasmine Crowe “I found out that my good friend was experiencing hunger. I think that was like, you know what, you got to do this, no matter what. It was an eye-opener for me because I can’t tell you how many times, she has been out in the streets feeding people with me.” –Jasmine Crowe Resources Mentioned: Text me at 470.242.6311.
