From Hotel Soap to Global Health
On the very first episode of The Ripple Effect podcast, comedian Jenna Kim Jones sits down with Clean the World founder Shawn Seipler for a conversation about small beginnings and global impact.
Shawn reveals how a simple question, “What happens to discarded hotel soap?” sparked a movement that has since recycled millions of pounds of soap, provided hygiene kits to communities in need, and improved health outcomes in 127 countries. From humble Orlando garage experiments to inspiring measurable change, the story underscores how small choices can ripple out to create real and lasting progress.
Jenna and Shawn discuss tremendous milestones, the role of teamwork in driving mission-led growth, and why each partnership and volunteer effort matters. This episode is packed with insight, hope, and actionable inspiration for anyone curious about how zero-waste innovations can change lives.
