You can create real change and social impact in the world with your small business.

Today’s episode is about the story of 3 military men, promoting world peace in a different way. Combat Flip Flops created jobs for both Afghan women, and US soldiers. Also, every product Combat Flip Flops sells puts an Afghan girl into secondary school for a day, while each Peacemaker Bangle or Coin Wrap sold clears 3 square meters of Unexploded Ordnance from a region rocked by long-term war - saving lives and providing economic opportunity.

Some of the best quotes from this episode:

• “Smaller dealers pre-orders, collecting e-mails on our website, retargeting, that’s how we get our very first sales.”
• “Our initial surge of traffic wasn’t from the article in NYT, but from Gizmodo. This gave us traffic that broke our site.”
• "Having the right manpower to scale is the hardest part, it’s the bottleneck of the business.”
