Jessica Jackley (Kiva) on the Power in Beginning Again

Jessica Jackley is, in my opinion, one of the original social entrepreneurs. She's the co-founder of Kiva, a financial services platform nearly synonymous with microlending, and the founder of a super rad new start-up, Alltruists, which delivers kid-friendly volunteer and impact projects directly to your doorstep.In this episode, Jessica shares her painful journey of letting go of her identity as a startup founder, and a wife, as she stepped away from her beloved organization and navigated a painful separation. She also talks about moving on from these major life events, and how they prepared her for the beautiful life she’s gone on to build.Learn more about Alltruists at alltruists.com.--Love the podcast?
