Summary
It’s never too late to do what’s right. And with the hate around the world at an all-time high, there is no better day than today to re-release a conversation with an incredible founder who chose to stand up against hate---no matter the impact on her business. Caroline D’Amore is a friend and an advocate for the Jewish community, and as someone who owns a business had every thing to lose—but wasn’t afraid to stand up for what was right.
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. Host, Lindsay Pinchuk was so taken by Caroline and her activism, she invited Caroline to join her for one of the most important and honest conversations we've ever had here on the show.
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.
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)

| 0:00.0 | Hi guys, it's Lindsay Pinchuk, founder and host of Dear Founder. When I started my first business, |
| 0:05.5 | it was kind of an accident. And at the time, there was one key element that I didn't have because of this. |
| 0:12.0 | And the second time around, this key element has helped me immensely. So what was it? It was my |
| 0:18.0 | network. And so when I started Lindsay Pinchuk marketing and consulting and Dear |
| 0:22.4 | Founder, I wanted to bring you the opportunity to build your own network with resources, |
| 0:26.9 | support, and mentorship. And I also wanted you to learn along the way, which is where Dear |
| 0:32.3 | Founder Live, our in-person and virtual events have come into play. On June 21st, we will be hosting our next |
| 0:39.7 | live virtual event. And based on your feedback, we're going to be talking about how to make a |
| 0:45.2 | reel for your small business on Instagram and why reels on Instagram are important for growth |
| 0:50.5 | and can help you sell. And then you're going to have the opportunity to connect and brainstorm with the other |
| 0:56.2 | women in attendance about your Reels strategy. |
| 0:59.1 | You are going to walk away from this virtual event with a tangible strategy and knowledge |
| 1:05.3 | to execute a real strategy within your own small business. |

| 1:22.5 | Click the link in our show notes to RSVP and reserve a spot for either one of these events. |
| 1:26.8 | I can't wait to see you there. |
| 1:28.4 | And now, on to today's episode. It's never too late to do what's right. We're taught early on in |
| 1:35.8 | school the difference between right or wrong, and there are some things that are very clearly |
| 1:39.8 | right and some that are very inherently wrong. And hate of any kind is never right. You know that and I know |
| 1:47.6 | that. But over the last seven months, we've seen more hate in the world than ever before. I know I have. |
