During a trip to DisneyWorld, Headbands for Hope Founder Jess Ekstrom noticed that a lot of children were there wearing headbands as a result of losing their hair due to chemotherapy. With the mission to help make these kids feel beautiful, Jess created “Headbands for Hope,’ in her junior year of College. I talk to Jess about her journey and how Headbands for Hope is now stocked in many stores around the world and celebrity endorsed.

On the latest episode of “The Social Greatness Podcast,” I had the opportunity to speak with Lila Stewart from the Flip Flop Company, Hari Mari. For me this was an exciting interview as I spend almost everyday in Flip Flops. Hari Mari has comfortable and beautiful flip flops designs and after learning that pediatric cancer is the most fatal disease among American children – Hari Mari set out to help by committing to get 1% of sales of every flip flop purchase to support kids battling cancer. We talk about Lila’s journey from Indonesia back to the US and what inspired her husband and her to start this business.
