From Formula 1 Racetracks To Marrakech's Schools With Andrea Bury

When work and life do not seem enough despite glitz, glamour, fast cars and chic events ...In todays episode, Claudia is in conversation with Andrea Bury, founder of the Abury Foundation and Abury Hospitality Academy for Women in Marrakech. In this episode you learn about how it is to move to Marrakech coming from Berlin, to try to understand and adapt to a new culture and different religion. In her three years, living in Marrakech, Andrea realised that girls and young women need not only support in getting a well rounded education, but have never been asked to begin with:"What is your dream in life. What do you want?" She spotted the need for empowerment to bring more young women into the workforce. It all started with Andrea selling vintage Berber-Bags to be able to create opportunities of school attendance for girls. Fast forward, Andrea launched the Abury Hospitality Academy, a training program in the hospitality sector for underprivileged young women. Over the past 15 years, Andrea and her growing team have been moving the foundation forward, in helping women to live a self determined life, by promoting equality, education and understanding. Listen in to find out how you can support an intimate, purpose driven, small organisation that has big plans for the future and takes every girl along. ### To find out more about Andrea Bury and how to support her foundation and academy, please follow these links: ABURY Foundation @andreabury on Instagram ### To learn more about SHIFT HAPPENS, click here, [https://claudiamahler.com/en/podcast]about Claudia's business SHIFT HAPPENS.Curated Conversations and her Salons in New York, Zurich and Berlin, click here [https://claudiamahler.com/] You can also connect with Claudia on Instagram @shifthappens.podcast [https://instagram.com/claudiamahlerconversations] and LinkedIn at ClaudiaMahlerNYC [https://linkedin.com/in/claudiamahlernyc] This podcast is created, produced and hosted by Claudia Mahler.

Why Starting A Charity Is A Good Thing with Gilly Norton

Gilly Norton founded SWV to support wounded veterans, first responders, and war correspondents. What started with therapeutic ski trips to Klosters, CH, evolved quickly into employment support, pain clinics, and mentoring when veterans revealed their biggest challenge: finding work despite their injuries. Recognizing that conventional PTSD treatments were failing, Gilly raised $1.5 million to fund the UK's first MDMA-assisted therapy trial for veterans. Despite regulatory hurdles, the initiative gained backing from General Nick Carter and national media attention. Gilly is now lobbying to make research more accessible and affordable. Apart from the Ski Program in Switzerland, SWV also runs annual ski programs, the Rivers Employment Initiative, and a global political risk conference. Gilly's key message: the human cost of war doesn't end when the conflict does—PTSD affects people of all ages, with an average patient age of just 36.   To learn more about how to support SVW visit their website: Supporting Wounded Veterans Instagram: @supportingwoundedveterans ********** To learn more about SHIFT HAPPENS, click here [https://claudiamahler.com/en/podcast]  To learn more about Claudia's business SHIFT HAPPENS.Curated Conversations and her Salons in New York, Zurich and Berlin, click here [https://claudiamahler.com/] You can also connect with Claudia on Instagram @shifthappens.podcast [https://instagram.com/claudiamahlerconversations] and LinkedIn at ClaudiaMahlerNYC [https://linkedin.com/in/claudiamahlernyc] This podcast is created, produced and hosted by Claudia Mahler.
