Six years after losing her mother to a decade-long fight against breast cancer, Olivia resolved to find an aspect of the disease where she could honor her mother's memory and make a difference for other families fighting their own battles with breast cancer. For 20 years, brave survivors and those walking in memory or celebration have become models at the Runway fashion show. They have raised funds to help families who are dealing with the impact of this disease. As survivors, the models epitomize heroism and strength. They carry with them the spirits of all those who have lost their battle with breast cancer, and the families and communities that stood by them. Unlike most nonprofits focused on breast cancer, Runway is not oriented toward a cure. Instead, they seek to improve the lives of those who are currently affected by breast cancer by serving as a platform for them to access the resources, knowledge, and support they need.  Olivia joins me in sharing this story and the evolution of Runway for Recovery.

When she started Dri, she didn't set out to be an entrepreneur. She just wanted to be someone who saw a problem and did something about it.

On this episode she shares what she learned about all of the plastic bottles entering the world's oceans.  With no business background, no MBA, she's taken a staple in our lives and re-imagined it while also creating jobs for many women in Thailand.  Deirdre has faced some challenges along the way, starting back in 2020 when the pandemic was making things hard for everyone with supply chain issues.  She kept pushing with her vision and eventually left the corporate world to go full time with Dri and it's paying off as she's now expanding where the umbrellas are available,  working with lots of big organizations and is also working on golf & patio umbrellas and more!
