S01: Being Young and Making an Impact with Karen Housel

Karen Housel is the founder of a sustainable fashion and beauty website called Sustainable Daisy. She also works full time for the EPA(Environmental Protection Agency) as an environmental scientist.

Although Karen is young, you wouldn't know it by the way she's approaching life. Still a recent college graduate, she seemed to realize how precious time is and it's how we use it that counts.

Like many people, Karen found herself on a job hunt after finishing school. But instead of watching Netflix on her downtime, she started a blog that echoed her passions.
