George Amodio (Doing Good Works) - Creating opportunities for foster youth through sustainable branded merchandise

Doing Good Works is a business that aims to tackle not one, but two huge issues in our society. First, they create sustainable branded merchandise, tackling the huge waste from corporate events, brand giveaways and company 'stash'. The way they do it, is even more exciting - providing opportunities to those who've been through the foster system. 30% of their workforce at any one time, is made up of former foster youth. In this conversation we're joined by George Amodio, Director of International Relations for Doing Good Works.
