-
- Entrepreneurship
In this episode, we speak to Emily Yau, founder of the Neighbourgood which is a social good initiative that is lending a hand to small businesses in Toronto. They first started off helping temporarily closed businesses - restaurants, cafes, bards, shops, services, fitness studios - to bring in cash flow by helping them sell gift cards. Since launching, they are now expanding their support by assembling a team of creators – photographers, videographers, designers, social media strategists – who want to donate their time and skills to help these small businesses. They are their neighbourgood (free)lancers.
We speak about:
- How did the idea of Neighbourgood come up?
- Response from the customers and business side.
- lessons learned from running a social good initiative
