This Isn't About MeEntrepreneurial Volunteerism with Jill ValentineOh how my heart loved this conversation with Jill Valentine, founder of UGO Impact! I knew very little about Jill and her mission before this episode which you will hear in my semi-stunned and lost for words voice throughout this episode. We dive deep into volunteering and giving back both locally and internationally and everything in between. I'm so passionate about the topic of volunteering and was pleasantly surprised as this conversation unfolded.
My favorite part was right at the end in "Happy people don't start wars." Ain't that the truth. When you find purpose and fulfilment t...
