Honest & Inspiring

This podcast is timely & important!

Not only is its conversational manner extremely engaging, it's informative and provides a fresh perspective on how companies can operate with a purpose beyond profit. One thing I really appreciate about this podcast is the diversity of companies represented. From a mindful, holistic ice cream brand to a sustainable seafood company, the guests on this podcast demonstrate that conscious profits can be achieved across a wide range of industries. Another thing that stood out to me is that it doesn't shy away from addressing the challenges and setbacks that come with building a conscious company, as well as the importance of checking in with ourselves and our mental health during the process of pursuing any of our endeavors. The guests, as well as the podcast host, often share candidly about the obstacles they've faced and how they've overcome them. It's refreshing to hear honest conversations about the reality of running a business.

Every episode will definitely leave you with some food for thought - highly recommended!
