Imagine this scene in your mind: Two friends, Lyndsay and Abigail, sitting on the sun-drenched patio of Tacofino in beautiful Gastown, Vancouver. Tacos were being devoured, margaritas were being sipped, and laughter filled the air. But beneath the surface, something magical was brewing. Lyndsay, feeling the weight of burnout, yearned for work that truly fulfilled her, while Abigail was searching for a deeper sense of purpose. As they gazed out into the bustling city, their hearts whispered the need for change.
And then, a few months later, those whispers became screams, and it happened! Lyndsay bid adieu to her old job, took a leap of faith, and embraced the exciting unknown. At that moment, The Social Good Co. was born!
