At The Adventure Project, you help moms, like Linda, breathe easier. Did you know that clean cookstoves are one of the most underrated ways to fight climate change? Each stove drastically reduces black carbon emissions. Making the swap from an open fire to a locally made clean cookstove saves one ton of carbon per year. In honor of Earth Day, we’d love to invite you to join us in a fireside chat about our clean cookstoves program. We'll be joined by Charlot Magayi, Founder and CEO of Mukuru Clean Cookstoves. She'll share her growth plan of producing 500K clean cookstoves this year! Click this link to get an invite: https://bit.ly/4b3AZvM #CleanCookingforMoms #AimHire #EarthDay

Do you have a setback that turned into a defining moment? We'd love to know.
When Amy Shoenthal asked me if I'd share my severance story with her for Fast Company, I immediately said "Sure." Not because it's a good one, but because I hope that in sharing my failures and flops, I might help others. For me, getting fired wasn't fun (at all). But it led to the launching of The Adventure Project. Which turned into the best gift. I know LinkedIn is supposed to be a spot for accolades and accomplishments. But, I think it's important for others to know that not everything is a highlight reel. Most of the best people I know are not defined by their setbacks, but by how they handled them. Do you have a setback that turned into a defining moment? I'd love to know. And thanks Amy Shoenthal for including me. Friends, you can pick up Amy's USA Today Bestselling book, The Setback Cycle in the link in my comments. ;) Article: https://lnkd.in/ed2g3eYE
