The Power of Community Support in Gifting

Have you ever wondered how a simple act of gift-giving could evolve into a movement of sustainable community support? Join us for a heartfelt conversation with Lisa Marino, the visionary CEO and founder of Dopple Registry, who turned her struggles during financial hardship into a platform that redefines how families receive essential services. We discuss Lisa's groundbreaking approach to gifting, shifting from traditional one-time presents to an inclusive system that emphasizes the power of community, allowing budget-constrained friends and family to contribute towards much-needed recurring necessities like childcare and therapy sessions. Lisa candidly shares how her personal journey, enriched by her background in tech mergers and acquisitions, drove her to innovate in this $100 billion market, aiming to transform life milestones into meaningful, collective experiences. Embark on a journey with Lisa as she shares her insights on raising independent children and the emotional transition to becoming an empty nester.

Lisa’s story is not just about business innovation but also about personal growth and the drive to make a difference. Her work with Dopple reflects a mission to connect families with vital resources and support networks.
