#21: How To Make An Impact With a Big Idea and a Small Budget - a podcast by The Toy Coach

Making an impact is one of the most important parts of the job when you're a toy person. But when you first start out in the industry, making big moves to make a difference for and in our industry can seem like a daunting task. But it's important for ourselves, and our industry that we put our best foot forward and implement those seemingly overwhelming ideas.

So for today's episode, Azhelle shares with you a story about how she built a 6-week summer program in partnership with the Economic Opportunity Commission of Nassau County and educated underprivileged youth about creative careers they may have never known about. You'll hear the process she took to building her curriculum, to acquiring donations and introducing her students to the careers of Toy Design, Graphic Design, and Visual Merchandising. 

From this episode, you'll learn that no matter where you are in your toy journey, you have the ability to give back. The experiences that you've already cultivated, as small as they might seem, could serve as a life-changing, career leading, lightbulb moment for someone else.
