Morocco with Mallory Solomon: work-life balance, disrupting the Moroccan rug industry, and travel as a remedy for anxiety
Mallory was born with an entrepreneurial spirit, and though she loved working with businesses to strategize and further their objectives, she was overworked and under-inspired at her New York advertising agency. After cancelling several solo trips due to the demands of her industry, she finally committed to a much-needed getaway in Morocco. On today's episode, Mallory shares experiences from that trip that inspired her to create Salam Hello – a textile company which champions the women artisans behind Morocco's famous rugs and pays them fairly for their work (something that’s outrageously rare in the current middle-man operated system). Learn how Mallory initially met the Berber women she works with now, why nights spent in the desert are different than the rest, and how spending time in Morocco "turns down the temperature" of her anxiety.
