Rachel: Thanks so much for having me, Spiffy. I am addressing the huge challenge of human trafficking — an umbrella term that covers multiple types of exploitation, including forced labor, child labor, and sex trafficking. My organization, Stop Modern Day Slavery, educates the public on this human rights violation through online articles and social media campaigns. We provide our readers with the tools to identify trafficking in their communities and encourage them to support brands with fair labor practices over those with murky supply chains. Above all, we advocate for freedom, dignity, and fair work conditions for all.

Lloyd: Current business education often provides a one-size-fits-all approach. Entrepreneurs and business owners receive the same general information and methods of learning. With this generic approach, entrepreneurs and business owners often make unnecessary mistakes that lead to failure or delayed success. At Progress Playbook, our mission is to equip entrepreneurs to design the business, life, and world that they love. We envision a world where anyone from anywhere who wants to build any business has step-by-step support along their journey. We create customized learning experiences and programs for entrepreneurs that provide step-by-step support along their journeys.
