When MacKenzie King was working for a conservation social enterprise in Thailand, she was called to rescue two king cobras that had fallen into a meditation center bathroom.
"I ended up standing in a big pit, with my hands inside a busted-down wall, on the tail of the bigger of the two king cobras," she writes at Forbes.
"Luckily, we got the snakes out safely and back into the national park, but it was the definitely the most nerve-wracking experience of my life."
The meditation center gave her and her colleagues the tastiest mangoes as payment for the snake rescue service.
King, who now works for a global community that supports entrepreneurship for a just and sustainable world, has a background in environmental and social justice.
