[Video] People (and stories) Matter

When I started this blog, one of the things I wanted to do was share inspirational videos that I find along the way. Working for a charitable organization that is focused on eliminating pediatric HIV and AIDS around the world, I spend a lot of time watching videos and sharing them with my co-workers.

A few weeks ago a colleague came to me and asked my thoughts on a clothing company she was thinking about approaching for a partnership opportunity and asked me to take a look at their website. The company is called Sevenly and their approach is simple. Each week of the year they partner with a different charity and design and sell a t-shirt and the proceeds kick back to the charity for which it was designed. They have seven categories of causes and raise money for a handful of charities within each category.

So this morning I got my latest YouTube digest email telling me what’s new on all of the channels I subscribe to. I had forgotten that I subscribed to the Sevenly channel and saw they had a new video up earlier this week called “People Matter.” So I checked it out and found myself watching it over and over (it’s only a minute — right in the wheelhouse for effective video length these days).

Check it out and let me know what you think!

 

Cheers!
