Capitalism for Good
The Capitalism for Good Podcast is all about how we make and spend our money to benefit the greater good (and how that benefits us right back). We are on a mission to do 100 business interviews with business leaders about how they are using their businesses, both small and large, to make a positive difference in their internal and external communities. This is the intersection of money, time, energy, and bandwidth considering how to balance these for now and for the future.
Capitalism for Good is all about community, giveback, business, leaders, founders, owners...you know just folks using business to give back to the communities, prioritize employees, build better culture, make and use sustainable materials, encourage intentional consumerism, and more.
We love small businesses, local businesses, businesses run by underrepresented leaders, businesses supporting other businesses, folks making against the grain business and financial decisions, sustainable business, ethical businesses, businesses prioritizing quality and curated experiences, and businesses that encourage your to practice intentional consumerism. We love talking about using capitalism for good.
Capitalism for Good talks to business leaders about how they got to where they are, what drives them to make decisions that prioritize people, advice and examples of why supporting community supports the business back, and the impact that business has on the greater community. Then we end with a final question, "who is another business or leader that you see doing things the right way that deserves a shout out," because we believe in recognizing the hard work and intentional decisions of others, even if it's our competition. Because that's what makes us all better. That's how we build better community. That's using Capitalism for Good.

Between the Interviews - Going Gray
One thing that I’m cognizant of is that by putting the word “good” in the name of this project, it may seem to imply that there’s either a “good” or a “bad” way to make and spend money. It could seem…
