How Ashleigh Becker Built a Nonprofit Jewelry Company

Giving. What does that word mean to you when you hear it? Does it mean someone who is giving with their time, giving with their talents, giving with their money, a giver of gifts... what does it mean? For years, I was the most reluctant to give with my money. It wasn’t until I was at my absolute brokest, if that’s even a way to describe it… that I realized that giving of my money, in addition to giving of my time and talents and those things, was actually the most valuable and important thing I could do. When I pretty much had nothing to give, giving became the most valuable things that changed for the better. Do you ever think of giving financially as something that could be sacrificial and life-changing for not only the person that you’re giving to… But also yourself? My guest this week is Ashleigh Becker, founder of Sela Designs. We talk about her incredibly unique business model where she literally gives 100% of her profits away, we talk about her passion for adoption, and so much more.
