It's Never Too Late to Do What's Right, with Caroline D'Amore, Founder of Pizza Girl (RERUN)

Dear FoundHer...

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)
