LYM #022: What Love means with Chrissie Lam
This week Peter chats with Chrissie Lam, founder of Love is Project. An organization dedicated to spreading love by working with artisans in developing countries while providing fair wages, healthcare, and education. Chrissie discusses how she was inspired to start Love is Project with just a single bracelet plus how she’s had to adjust her plan with the current global pandemic. Stick around for the “Reaper Round” where Chrissie shares some of her favorite purchases and where she wants to be in the next 5 years.
