Description
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In today’s episode, our guests are Niki Shadrow and John David Snyder, Los Angeles entrepreneurs and the creators of Project Pop Drop, which sells private-label ink and toner cartridges. Over several years, they have partnered with their customers, local schools, and other businesses to spread Project Pop Drop across Southern California, Florida, and other states. Today, they will talk about the art of giving back to society and being a “Givefluencer.”</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[6:25]</span> <strong>Why should we listen to you?</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We have about ten years of experience in dealing with the issues of homelessness. We started in Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles, the center of homelessness in America. We’ve empowered thousands of people, and we’ve got students on board with the LA Unified School District doing donation drives with us. We’re bringing businesses with us to make them step up to the giving plate as we have.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[9:13]</span> <strong>Start-up of Company</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When David and I met, we talked about pitching my customers in the office and that I didn’t feel comfortable doing it. And that I’m evolving in a business that has not evolved in any way. Self-improvement is a huge business is an essential household product that everybody needs, and I’m doing something different.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[12:10] I’m proud to say it’s been over a decade of giving back together and not only as a cop on a married couple but as parents too. At the beginning of this podcast, so far, you feel like you’re looking at twins. It’s not about bragging and saying how great you are for what you’re doing. It’s about getting people empowered and excited to come along with you to do the work. And without a little shameless self-promotion, you won’t get or build a movement.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-we
