From Notion to Product Launch with Maitri Shah and Gibson Chu
Many entrepreneurs, creators, or idea-makers don't realize how possible their ideas really are.
In this episode, we talk with Maitri Shah and Gibson Chu – founders of Do One Better, a free resource to inform people about the true cost of common goods, and provide sustainable, ethical, and more affordable alternatives.
While they both work in tech, they built Do One Better after their 9-5 and on weekends. After spending dozens and dozens of hours of hours collecting information for their resource library, they chose to take their Notion workspace (a popular note-taking tool), and build their platform off of it – saving them weeks, if not months on building a custom built website.
We Can Do This is a podcast that connects people looking to create meaningful change with the tools, skills, and community they need to stay the course and make an impact.
It's hosted by founder Sean Pritzkau, and brings together social entrepreneurs and experts on topics such as marketing, branding, no-code, and more.
