TOR120: The Blessing Basket Project with Theresa Carrington

Would you be willing to give up everything you have, and go into debt, to help some of the most impoverished people in the world? Would your answer change if I told you that you had to jump off that cliff without knowing exactly how you'd go about helping those people? This is exactly what my guest for the 120th episode of the Terms of Reference Podcast did when she founded the Blessings Basket Project - an organization inspired by the small acts of kindness shown to her when life didn't work out as expected in 2002. Now, years later, Theresa Carrington and the Blessings Basket project has not only helped thousands of women, but created a system for identifying, supporting and ensuring that women entrepreneurs break out of poverty, into prosperity. Theresa is my kind of entrepreneur - she jumped head first into solving the problem she identified without knowing anything about the business of helping those in need. She's brought along some of the voices of the people she's help and works with as extra inspiration for the show.
