Shownotes

In this week’s episode, Angela Bozo sits down with Ryan Honeyman from Lift Economy, a self-proclaimed B-Corp “nerd” and expert who has guided numerous food and retail companies through the certification process. He touches on the three main components of B Corp certification, the recent shifts B Labs is making to its certification standards, and how creating more circularity in your business practices can lead to more efficient operations.  

Next week, we have a fascinating conversation with Elizabeth Stein, Founder of Purely Elizabeth, about their journey towards B Corp certification and sneak peek into their new cookie granola line!
