Bio: Nick Laparra is the founder of Let’s Give A Damn—an impact organization that helps people live absurdly intentional and ethical lives. The son of a Guatemalan immigrant, Nick was born in New York but moved to Guatemala with his parents and 11 siblings when he was a young child. Since his upbringing in Guatemala, Nick has spent time in dozens of countries engaging in all kinds of social impact work. At his core, Nick is a passionate storyteller who doesn’t mince words or suggest band-aid fixes for life or death issues. He loves asking questions, traveling to new countries, drinking coffee, and smoking cigars. Nick lives in New York City with his partner, Rebecca, and their three children, Solace, Belle, and Roman.
