Kimberly Olson:
Hello, everyone, Kimberly Olson, here also known as The Goal Digger Girl, coming in live for a special interview with an amazing Goal Digger. We're going to talk about how she built it, and I want to welcome her on a minute, but first I've got to brag on her a little bit because I'm totally girl crushing. I'm officially obsessed with this woman. And I literally was reading her bio and I was like, okay, vision! Vision board here! Goals, here! because I totally want to create my own story that's just like her. I'm excited for you guys to get to meet her and hear about her story and how she's built a huge empire. So we're going to be interviewing Heidi Leist. So Heidi is an entrepreneur and she's going to be sharing about how she got started in a minute. But I just want to read a little bit about what she's done. So giving back to the community has been a part of Heidi's passion since the beginning. During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the company sends hundreds of complimentary loving care gift sets to Cancer patients. From the letters received from recipients, Heidi and her team compiled inspirational survivor stories, and with the assistance of Momosa publishing, released the book, Soul Soothing Stories of Cancer Survivors.
Kimberly Olson:
So if any of you have Cancer survivors in your family, friends in your circle that you care about, I want you guys to grab that book, Soul Soothing Stories of Cancer Survivors. In 2020, Heidi and her team launched a company-wide campaign to link arms with Feeding America. Thousands of meals have been provided as a result of this effort during COVID. In addition, a Giving Back Campaign was so successful that nearly $17,000 was raised for nonprofit breast cancer research and prevention organizations. I mean! Each year thousands of rejuvenating foot kits are sent to members of our active military overseas to the Operation Freedom Feet Initiative. A special human kindness kit was curated to support victims of trafficking, which y'all know I'm very passionate about abuse or trauma. Our consultant community conducts fundraisers to sponsor kids and company donations are made to victim centers which shows it's a part of the mission throughout the whole company because her consultants are very actively participating in this, right?
Heidi Leist:
Thank you, Kimberly. It's an honor. I'm thrilled to be here this afternoon with you.
Kimberly Olson:
I'm so excited! This is just literally, like I said, you are going to be one of those people that I will keep in my mind as I work really hard to grow my own vision, and mission and brand, and I just, we need more people like you in this world. So thank you for everything that you do, makes me wanna cry. So to stop the waterworks here, thank God for fake eyelashes. Why don't you share a little bit about you, who you are and what made you say "I want to be an entrepreneur, and I want to make a difference". Like take us back to the beginning.
