We can sometimes feel that we need to do something big to make a difference whereas that's not true. Vaishali Shah joins Matt in this episode to talk about her family legacy of giving back and what she does to keep it alive. 

Join us as we unlock the secrets of The Power of One and learn how you too can make a difference in the world, one step at a time! You won't want to miss our conversation with this inspiring entrepreneur!

Here's some of the great stuff that we cover in this show:

• Vaishali talks about her motivation for using her businesses to give to charity and how it was influenced by her upbringing in a family that emphasized giving back, as well as the support of her father who mentored and inspired her. 
• Some personal challenges that she faced were her parents' divorce and moving from Jersey to Paris and now, starting from scratch again in Dubai, which pushed her out of her comfort zone and made her more resilient, helping her become a more business-minded and entrepreneurial individual.
• Vaishali enjoys running two businesses as it provides variety. She niches within each business, focusing on cultural and multicultural wedding stationery for Ananya Cards and food, hospitality, and lifestyle for Creative ID. This helps her manage social media and focus her marketing efforts.
• To maintain her energy and creativity, Vaishali practices self-care activities such as visiting spas and traveling to exotic locations. She also enjoys listening to podcasts and wants to start journaling and meditating on a daily basis.
• Vaishali hopes to create a community called "Chai and conversation" for like-minded entrepreneurs and business owners to talk about charity and support each other's efforts in making a positive impact.
