Hey, I'm Marie Forleo, and this is the Marie Forleo podcast. If you want to talk about your business, your life, your health, your relationships, and even more, I gotta tell you, you are in the right place.

We do it all with humor and heart, so let's dive in.

Today I am so excited because I've got one of my favorite women on the planet here.

We're going to talk about her new book,

Give Work, Reversing Poverty One Job at a Time,

and so much more you are in for a treat.

Lila Jana is the founder and CEO of Somasource and Luxmee, both ventures focused on using

new sourcing techniques to reduce poverty. A Harvard educated former management consultant,

she's been profiled in the New York Times, Vast Company, Fortune,

Wired, Forbes, and Glamour among others. She was named one of L's 2016 top women in tech,

and Samosource was named one of Fast Companies's most innovative companies.

She's the author of Give Work,

reversing poverty one job at a time, and lives in San Francisco, California.

Lila, thank you so much for coming back.

I am so honored to be here.

I've missed you. Honestly, you've been on my mind in our few texts. They're always so life giving for me and

for everyone watching if you didn't catch our first conversation together after this

one you need to go back and watch it I will put links below so so much has happened

for you since that last conversation we've got a book which we'll talk about but you

also started a for-profit company in addition to your nonprofit I want to start out with a little context for this whole conversation.

So as it stands right now, the world's wealthiest countries have donated more than $2 trillion in foreign aid to the world's poor, yet despite all

of this 2.8 billion people still struggle to survive every day.
