Summary
"Do business and politics mix?" This question forms the backdrop of a truly inspiring episode of "Dear FoundHer," where host Lindsay Pinchuk engages with Caroline D'Amore, founder and CEO of Pizza Girl. Lindsay was profoundly moved by Caroline's bold support on social media for Israel and the Jewish community following the October 7th terrorist attacks, a stance that exemplifies the intertwining of business acumen and social activism.
Caroline's journey began with Pizza Girl, an all-organic Italian foods company born from her pursuit of high-quality, authentic pasta sauces. Her decision to publicly support the Jewish community post-terrorist attacks marked a significant moment in her career as Pizza Girl turned activist.
In their honest conversation, Lindsay and Caroline delve into the complexities of balancing business with activism. Caroline acknowledges the challenges but emphasizes the necessity of mental health and self-care. She advocates for speaking one's truth, reinforcing that the impact of such actions often surpasses the potential risks associated with losing followers or business.
The episode celebrates the power of authenticity, the importance of advocacy, and using one’s business platform for achieving broader social good.
Key Takeaways:
- It is important to stand up for what you believe in, even if it goes against popular opinion or may have potential negative impacts on your business or personal life.
- Balancing social issues and business can be challenging, but it is crucial to find a way to address important matters while still maintaining focus on your business goals.
Quotes:
- "I just couldn't believe that something so atrocious and devastating and awful could happen to so many people in Israel to then see within even just a few days where there was not even time to mourn, there was such a backlash and hate parade." (15:38 | Caroline D'Amore)
- "I will not stop. I will not be silenced. I do not scare easily." (26:26 | Caroline D'Amor)
- "Life is short. And people kept saying to me, if I lose my business tomorrow, at least I know that I stood for something." (34:39 | Caroline D'Amore)
