I became obsessed with this question… Is it possible to design algorithms to actually spread social impact and sustainability, and social good and benefit, instead of spreading fear and violence and all the stuff that we react to? Can we build something much more positive than that? - Vikas Garg
I’m especially excited to share this episode, featuring Vikas Garg, the CEO and founder of abillion, a social commerce app focused on helping people live more sustainably, for so many reasons.
As we explore Vikas’s intriguing life story, from starting life in India before migrating with his family to New York, to growing up in the New York club scene, to a wildly successful career on Wall Street, to moving to Singapore and changing gears completely after going vegan and creating an app that has resulted in over $2 million dollars donated to farm sanctuaries and other organizations dedicated to a healthier and kinder planet for all.
I love that we were able to wrap up the conversation by giving our listeners a super simple and actionable opportunity to make a positive impact on this planet and a way to give without spending your own money, and in as little as a couple minutes a day!
