Keys to Making Money - and a Difference - with Shopify
Shopify on Location episode recorded in Los Angeles in which host Benjamin Gottlieb talks with Bob Dalton, founder of Sackcloth and Ashes, a blanket company that donates a blanket to a local homeless shelter for each one sold. Bob says his mother lived on the streets about a decade ago, that his first sewn blanket was janky so he found local seamstresses, and that experience building a nonprofit at 19 taught him to form a team around a mission bigger than themselves. He talks about pushing past obstacles, being okay without all the answers, crediting Shopify for letting a non-coder build a website, and a 2018 blanket drop in Portland that led to his mother getting into a program. Sponsor named: Shopify, which hosts the series. PARTIAL COVERAGE: this note draws on the opening, origin, obstacles and blanket drop sections, and may miss parts of the roughly 27 minute video. Personal stories and business claims are Bob's own and not independently checked. Nothing here is medical, legal or financial advice.
