Mimi Ausland began her career as a climate activist at the age of 14 with a click-to-give website that landed her on Oprah, Ellen, and the Today Show- and that was just the beginning.
Mimi built and runs the website Freetheocean.com which she's developed into a platform that turns eyeballs into dollars through leveraging sponsorships and advertising. She uses the revenue through advertising to fund charitable organizations removing plastic from our oceans, building a virtual bridge from a 30 second no-cost investment from people who care to real-life dollars for activists on the ground fighting for a sustainable planet.
We dig into how she's using her marketing chops to build an e-commerce portal for plastic free products, what it means to be a gen-z activist, and where she sees Freetheocean.com going in the future.
