  • #80 From basketball to B Corp with co-founder of B Lab Jay Cohen-Gilbert
    May 26 2024

    The man, the myth, the legend of B Corp... and a Netflix star to boot! In this episode, it is our unadulterated pleasure to speak to the man himself, the man who started the entire B Corp movement, along with two friends - Andrew Kassoy and Bart Houlahan - with a mission to transform the entire economy to one that's purpose driven.

    Together, in 2006, they came up with a way for businesses to be the best for the world and almost two decades later, it's a global revolution of 8000 businesses and counting.

    Listen in to hear Jay talk about:

    • How his first company, a basketball apparel brand called AND1, was started with his best friend
    • How AND1 became a multi-million dollar business in just a few years
    • His epiphany in September 2001 when, within three weeks, his sister was in the Twin Towers on 9/11, his father died, and a friend's was killed in a car accident
    • The mission and vision of the B Corp movement
    • How he was inspired by businesses like Patagonia, The Body Shop and Toms
    • His work with a group called White Men for Racial Justice
    • Why he thinks it's crucial to help legacy institutions transform
    • Why the future of B Corp is collective action to drive change

    ... and so much more.

    Check it out! Don't miss this inspiring conversation.

    Her business, Cleanery, is a low-waste cleaning and personal care brand. The products are a sachet of powder that are added to a bottle of water and mixed up.

    Co-founded with her husband, Ellie's business started with making her own cleaning products at home with baking soda and vinegar.

    • How her first home made cleaning products were not great
    • Why being a yachting journalist got her into environmentalism
    • How she alleviates her climate anxiety
    • Packaging issues! Why compostable is not the best and how sugarcane isn't the answer yet either
    • In plastic waste, one supermarket bottles equates to 100 Cleanery sachets, which make 100 bottles of cleaning fluid
    • Why a business is never too young to embed B Corp
    • How B Corp gave them a boost overseas

    Check it out! And get inspired.
