Thriving to Make the World a Better Place

Refirement.life – Make Your Next Play Your Best Play by Christine Zmuda and Muge Wood

Via Refirement Life, “This is an incredible “must listen” episode which demonstrates the power of following your calling. I sit down with Karen Sherman. Karen L Sherman is the Co-founder and CEO of Virunga Mountain Spirits, a premium craft distillery based in Rwanda, where she has worked for close to two decades. The business will employ and upskill Rwandans at every level of operations, with an emphasis on creating opportunities for women. This alone would be impressive. However, the path itself has life lessons for us. You will learn about what led Karen down a path of international business development, how she became involved as a global policy advocate to stop violence against women, and how she accumulated the stories of resilience which led her to author Brick by Brick — Building Hope and Opportunity for Women Survivors Everywhere (Rowman & Littlefield, 2020). Even if your interest in not standing up a business in another country, you will learn so much from how listening to your calling can have a multiplier effect for others and for yourself.”
