Making the Pivot for a Cause with Lisa Riggs, CEO/Founder of Spirit Sox USA
Years ago, Lisa Riggs, a human resources executive in Silicon Valley, was pregnant with her second. Faced with the exorbitant price of daycare, she chose to quit her job and become a stay-at-home mom.
As her children aged, though, Lisa began to strategize her next career move. She was at the time a member of the local Education Foundation Board, selling branded T-shirts to raise money for an after-school sports program. She began considering an alternative:
If she marketed socks instead of t-shirts, she could both increase profit margins and—due to their lower price point—more easily sell them year-round. Lisa quickly located a sock manufacturer, ordered 200 pairs and sold every one of them in four days at a $17 profit margin per pair. Donations to the board shot up by 140 percent—which got Lisa thinking: “Oh my goodness, I should turn this into a business.”
So she did. And Spirit Sox was born.
Though the company at first focused exclusively on fundraising, Lisa quickly realized the importance of balancing social responsibility with the need to grow her business. So she committed herself to both goals: Using Spirit Sox to support worthy causes—schools and charities, foundations and environmental nonprofits, human rights supporters and animal welfare groups—while also generating a profit.
Then, almost overnight, the COVID pandemic took hold. Though it seemed an existential business threat at first, Lisa made the shrewd decision to also begin manufacturing face masks, which ultimately accounted for more than 30% of her 2020 sales and essentially kept her company afloat.
Today, Spirit Sox is thriving beyond Lisa’s most optimistic expectations. It’s producing huge numbers of customized socks for the broadest range of customers, from small nonprofits to major corporations. Not withstanding her remarkably successful run at the helm of Spirits Sox, however, Lisa has never lost sight of her passion for the greater good. Which is why she always has—and always will—donate fully five percent of her company’s profits to the homeless.
“I can help people,” she says. “I can help communities. It’s basically the social responsibility piece, and it’s the part I love the most.”

Skill Up on Making Decisions with January Donovan, Founder & CEO of The Woman School
Check out her bio below and give us a listen:
January Donovan is the founder of The Woman School and The Wholeness Coaching School. She is a #1 best-selling author, an entrepreneur, and a mother of 8 children. She has over 20 years of experience training women. January had a bold dream to build a school designed to train women with the practical skills to manage their lives. She spent 15 years training women for free before realizing that in order to reach millions, she had to learn to build a business and do so while prioritizing her family. The business grew from 0 to a multimillion dollar company reaching 40 countries in under three years and landing her the title as one of Forbes Magazine’s top coaches. She then went on to found The Wholeness Coaching School where she teaches men and women to build their own coaching businesses using mindset and skill-set training to design every part of their life. She co-founded The Man School with her husband and quickly expanded to The Woman School en Español. Her passion fuels her discipline as a wife, mother, and business owner because we can’t give what we do not have. We were created to live a life of meaning and contribution, we just need to train up for it. January believes that life without skills is hard, skills give us choices. We suffer unnecessary overwhelm, stress, and anxiety simply because we are undertrained. We battle feeling like a failure when in reality, the world has failed to prepare us. We can no longer afford to hand over a generation of men and women who doubt their worth and give up on who they were created to be. We cannot afford a life without training, we need to skill up. She believes that it is time for our world to recognize the value of the ‘whole’ person and not just what the culture dictates makes us valuable; we are more than our achievements. We are in the business of valuing and integrating the whole person. Her dream is to have a school not just to empower men and women, but to equip them with practical training. It is only then that we can create a ripple effect in our homes, our communities, our relationships, and our careers. We change the world by changing our interior world first. As a wife and mother of 8 children, she is fierce about integrating business and motherhood. Our professional dreams cannot be apart from our personal dreams; we just need to train up for them. Motherhood is an olympic sport and the gold medal is raising children that will bring good into the world. If we want true success then we have to train ourselves to build businesses that integrate every part of our lives

The magic word in time, money and self-management.
One of the first words that you learned as a child was mostly likely the word "no" yet as we grow more empathetic, it can often be hard to say. I know with me, I never want to hurt someone's feelings, feel like I am missing out of just outright support a cause or organization about. Doing this often leads to regret.
I was inspired by the documentary LulaRich on Amazon Prime to cover this topic but this episode is in no way meant to bash anyone's ways of earning money. I have a lot of friends who do direct sales and am happy for the success they have found. I also don't believe all of them to be like the legging company.
