The company seeks growth and greater social impact by expanding into special milestone jewelry and collaborating with industry influencers. Having a clear mission statement, like "being the most caring jewelry company in the world" helps Do Amore stay committed to bettering the world through their unique products. Who’s The Guest? Krish, a mechanical engineer turned jeweler, after experiencing a revelation while working on an oil rig. He discovered the vast disparity between drilling for oil and drilling for water. It troubled him deeply, as he recalled the water crisis he had witnessed in his youth. How could people be dying from lack of clean water when it was so close beneath their feet? Around the same time, Krish found himself shopping for an engagement ring. He was disheartened by the reluctance of jewelers to discuss the ethical implications of their products. It was then that everything clicked for him. When he proposed to his significant other, he wanted the ring to not only be free from harm, but to actively make a positive impact on the world. This life-changing event in Krish's life became the catalyst for change in others' lives as well. He decided that his proposal would contribute to providing access to clean water for someone in need, forever altering their life for the better.

#dogoodwork is not a label but a way of living.
It is the constant and diligent effort to achieve a new level of excellence in one’s own life.
It is the hidden inner beauty behind the struggle to achieve excellence.
It is not perfect but imperfect.
It is the effort, discipline and focus that often goes unnoticed.
The goal of this podcast is to highlight that drive.
The guests I have on this show emulate this drive in their own special way. You’ll be able to apply new ideas into your own life by learning from them.
We will also have 1on1 episodes with me where we’ll dive into my own experiences with entrepreneurship and leadership.
Every episode is designed to provide you with ideas that you can apply and grow in excellence in all areas of your life, business and career.
Do Good Work,
Raul
