Customer Reviews
Must Listen for B Corp and Social Impact
Great cast, great topics, casts are short and actionable. This should be a cast everyone in the B-corp or Social Imapct space is listening to and sharing.
Love B Corps!
I love B corps because they stand for something bigger than themselves. They truly believe in using their business as a force for good in the world and have gone through a certification process to make sure they remain accountable to living that out. If every business did this, our world would be able to solve a lot of systemic issues and truly serve our citizens in need around the world. Nathan is a warm and inviting host and the guests he has on are really interesting. I love hearing their stories of how they started their personal leadership journeys and how they got involved with becoming a B corp. I always walk away with actionable inspiration that I can take right back to my office. Look forward to continuing to follow this show!
