Pursuing Ethical Practices: The Synergy of Profit, People, and Planet - Part 1

The Mindful Marketplace with Joel Skene

Discover the transformative effects of social entrepreneurship and ethical investing as we traverse the innovative landscape of Appalachia, where worker ownership and circular economic models are revitalizing the region's economy. Join me, Joel Skeen, on this episode of the Mindful Marketplace, where we pay homage to the legendary Charlie Munger and his investment wisdom, and spotlight the remarkable debt relief initiative at Morehouse College in partnership with the Debt Collective. Delve into the story behind Blue Forest's forest resilience bond, an ingenious investment that merges financial savvy with ecological stewardship, proving that profit and the planet can thrive in tandem.
Venture with us as we sit down with Eric Henry, president of TS Designs, unraveling the narrative of sustainable apparel and the dedication to the triple bottom line. Eric's tale is one of resilience and reimagining a business model that honors the local economy, high-quality craftsmanship, and environmental responsibility. We scrutinize the challenges and triumphs of being the first apparel B Corp and its implications for the industry, paving the way for an honest discussion about the necessity of transparency and a commitment to ethical practices. Tune in for a compelling journey through the intricacies of profit, people, and the planet, where every thread weaves a story of innovation and integrity.
