The goal is still the same: Interview 100 business leaders making a positive impact on their internal and external communities. This is not meant to be a definitive black & white guide to which companies to support, but an opportunity to explore what’s going on out there and for us all to learn together.  We’re about 7% of the way through with 4 released on the main feed (there are more early releases on the Patreon…more about that later).  So what is new since I started this?  * Mentions - I’ve added a list companies and organizations mentioned that includes links and is organized by episode. It’s on my website (capitalism-for-good.com [https://capitalism-for-good.com/]) under the blog & transcripts tab (direct link here [https://www.capitalism-for-good.com/mentions]). If there’s an associated referral code or discount code, it’ll also be there. I’m learning a lot as I go, so I’m sure this list will evolve. As always, if you have recommendations or requests, please let me know!  * Referral & discount codes - There’s just a couple that have come up along the way so far, so those are posted with the associated company by episode.  * Social media - I’m still a grandma when it comes to social media, but I’m learning and I’m trying!

episode We're Getting Over the Embarrassment Over Here! artwork

We're Getting Over the Embarrassment Over Here!

This episode is just what the title suggests: I'm working on turning my embarrassment into excitement. The story about me being such a terrible french horn player that I ultimately quit primarily because I refused to practice. Even worse, I refused to practice regularly because I was so embarrassed about being bad. I dreaded practicing and dreaded having anyone think that I wasn't naturally Jon Batiste (shout out Jon Batiste, a true musical genius of our time). I have to admit that I'm still embarrassed by so much. I'm now attempting to embrace that embarrassment and not let it hold me back from chasing new ventures. So if I'm going to truly talk about showing what it's like to build something from the start and to learn new skills from the ground up, then that means that I actually have to showcase my embarrassment and, even further, capitalize on it. Instead of deleting things like the livestream that I attempted for the first time or leaving the dream of this project because it's the first time I've every truly chased a dream like this on my own, I'm actually doing it despite the embarrassment (or maybe because of the embarrassment?). You might say that I'm channeling the plants that I love growing. They start small. Some were cut off from the larger plant they were once part of. They were then put in water on their own and then slowly started growing their own roots, finding their way into their new homes, and growing their own leaves being whole plants themselves. Perhaps I relate to these plants more than I realized. Just like how much I love watching them grow and evolve, I'm opening up this process for you to watch me grow and evolve with this project. Lesson that I keep relearning the hard way: Life is messy. People are dynamic. The world is grey. While Veronica (Interview 4/100) used Nike to spark her creativity to pursue a career in sports marketing and sports management, Kyle Parsons (Interview 7/100) used Nike as an example of companies not focused on sustainable manufacturing. The reality is that both things can be true. Nike can both be a company inspiring greatness, but it can have room for improvement in its use of sustainable materials. That's also why I build in the grey-ness of life into strategic plans when working with companies through CFG, LLC. (Hit me up if you're interesting in how we might be able to work together to further your business's community involvement!) Trust me, I love a plan. I also recognize that plans need to change (cue my road trip analogy). What I’m watching: my plants grow. I know, I know, it’s a typical millennial woman activity, but I love that it’s a tangible look at something actually grows (sometimes it’s a failure and dies) and evolves. If that’s not a metaphor for this entire Capitalism for Good project, especially the parts that are beyond the 100 leader interviews, I don’t know what is.  I’m not trying to tell you what to do, but here’s where I’m putting my money: bamboo tissues, toilet paper, and toothbrushes (and really any item that I can find to swap out plastic for a compostable and biodegradable bamboo products). Shout out to Emma (Interview 5/100) for also using bamboo to make their sustainable toothbrushes at MABLE [https://www.brushmable.com/?ref=azutoavf].

episode Lessons Learned artwork

Lessons Learned

I’ve learned so much since this project began to take shape about a year ago (but really, what is time?). This week’s recent lessons have been in some practical items like adding a frame around a video and now how to make that frame look a little more visually appealing (easter egg: it’ll likely change again as I understand more about design…hopefully for the better!).  At the same time, I’ve been thinking a lot around the shout out that Emma Grose [https://youtu.be/7CbwW9gZFW8] (CEO & Co-Founder of MABLE [https://www.brushmable.com/?ref=azutoavf] & HAY! Straws [https://www.haystraws.com/?ref=kzxetfyt]) had for local zero waste stores. I had admittedly not known about a zero waste store in Louisville, KY where I’m based, but I did know of a couple that were in the Kansas City area. I found one, Peace of the Earth [https://www.peaceoftheearth.com/the-refillery], and lucked out enough to meet the owner when I went to check it out. The nerdy part of me was thrilled when she immediately opened up to me about how difficult it is to open and operate a store like this. She mentioned how others in the city had tried to open similar stores, but rather quickly went out of business. Her store was able to stay open because she had both a refillery shop and a more traditional retail shop to balance each other out.  While opening a brick & mortar store of any kind is likely a difficult venture, it seems to be especially difficult for sustainable businesses. One recent hurdle that we’d discussed and I’ve seen play out for a handful of zero-waste stores is where products are imported from. It’s no secret that manufacturers and retailers have been facing new challenges due to the chaotic changes to import tariffs, but to dig a little deeper into that is how some countries have prioritized sustainable products and manufacturing well beyond the capabilities of the US. Canada, the US’s neighbor to the north, has a country-wide goal of reducing plastic waste by 30% 2030 [https://ccme.ca/en/current-activities/waste]. The incentives and focus on eliminating plastic waste allows for an increased production of plastic-free and zero-waste items which the US directly benefits by importing and selling these products. As we know, this raises the cost of these types of products in the US, and, unfortunately, forces many of those zero-waste shops out of business. As I’ve been researching zero waste stores for upcoming interviews, I’ve witnessed a handful of shops throughout the United States announce that they’re closing their doors in May 2025.  While it’s tough to see companies that prioritize sustainable activities and manufactured goods struggle to the point of closing up shop, there are still reasons to be hopeful. In the conversation with Kyle Parsons [https://www.patreon.com/posts/kyle-parsons-of-129550783?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link] (Founder of Indosole [https://indosole.com/]) talked about the push...  Purchase the full Collection of Between the Interviews episodes (includes video option) here [https://open.acast.com/networks/67351f025b81168b13ac5da4/shows/6921ffe6e842b164ee7bf35f/episodes/Purchase%20the%20full%20Collection%20of%20Between%20the%20Interviews%20episodes%20(includes%20video%20option)%20here] or at Patreon.com/CapitalismForGood [https://www.patreon.com/CapitalismForGood] All the ways to find, follow, & support the Capitalism for Good universe:  Apple Podcasts (Bittersweet Paradox) [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bittersweet-paradox/id1823784007?itscg=30200&itsct=podcast_box&ls=1&mttnsubad=1823784007] | Apple Podcasts (Capitalism for Good) [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/capitalism-for-good/id1779598970?itscg=30200&itsct=podcast_box&ls=1&mttnsubad=1779598970] | Apple Podcasts (Capitalism for Green) [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/capitalism-for-green/id1848015700?itscg=30200&itsct=podcast_box&ls=1&mttnsubad=1848015700] | Bittersweet Paradox Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/BitttersweetParadox] | Bittersweet Paradox Writing Club [https://www.patreon.com/collection/1574887?view=expanded] | Bluesky (Bittersweet Paradox) [https://bsky.app/profile/andreamasterson.bsky.social] | Bluesky (Capitalism for Good) [https://bsky.app/profile/capitalismforgood.bsky.social] | Capitalism for Good’s Between the Interviews Podcast [https://www.patreon.com/collection/1260863] | Capitalism for Good Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/CapitalismForGood] | Capitalism for Green Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/CapitalismForGreen] | Capitalism for Green: The Blog [https://www.patreon.com/collection/1723672?view=expanded] | Company Mentions [https://www.patreon.com/posts/company-mentions-130196545?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link] | Email Bittersweet Paradox [bittersweetparadoxpodcast@gmail.com] | Email Capitalism for Good [capitalismforgoodproject@gmail.com] | Email Capitalism for Green [CapitalismForGreen@gmail.com] | Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61584549780792] | Instagram (Andrea & her 2026 Goal = No New Things, Only New Experiences) [https://www.instagram.com/andimasterson/] | Instagram (Bittersweet Paradox) [https://www.instagram.com/bittersweetparadoxpodcast/] | Instagram (Capitalism for Good) [https://www.instagram.com/capitalismforgoodpodcast/] | Instagram (Capitalism for Green) [https://www.instagram.com/capitalismforgreen/] | Spotify (Bittersweet Paradox) [https://open.spotify.com/show/6QcGujvYaGCNxN1EgiBA8i?si=326a012dbd534f7a] | Spotify (Capitalism for Good) [https://open.spotify.com/show/5ocz9Xsl1mYOYOZwZ37ZQ5?si=7e6f52ba405b4ed4] | Spotify (Capitalism for Green) [https://open.spotify.com/show/3q6Zag8HzheqxITQK1y4dN?si=0d4e9870622646bc] | The Store, by CFG [https://thestorebycfg.myshopify.com/password] | TikTok (Capitalism for Good) [https://www.tiktok.com/@capitalismforgood] | YouTube (Capitalism for Good) [https://youtube.com/@capitalismforgoodpodcast?si=jt-mAtLapRdNjDve] Apple [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/capitalism-for-good/id1779598970?itscg=30200&itsct=podcast_box&ls=1&mttnsubad=1779598970] | Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/CapitalismForGood] | Email [capitalismforgoodproject@gmail.com] | Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/capitalismforgoodpodcast/] | Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/5ocz9Xsl1mYOYOZwZ37ZQ5?si=7e6f52ba405b4ed4] | TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@capitalismforgood] | YouTube [https://youtube.com/@capitalismforgoodpodcast?si=jt-mAtLapRdNjDve] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Women in Leadership

If you thought that perhaps I might not bring up women in leadership roles again throughout this project, unfortunately, you were sorely incorrect. As a woman myself, it’s something that I can’t unsee. I’ve been working on write ups, reflections, and social media posts for the interview with Veronica Hernandez, GM of the Modesto Nuts, a men’s minor league baseball team, and I can’t stop thinking about how less than 8% of the General Managers in minor league baseball are women. I found her name in a list of 14 women in leadership in minor league baseball in an article that was championing and celebrating these women. Don’t get me wrong, these women deserve to be recognized and celebrated. I’m so happy to here that there are a handful of them out there, but 8% is not enough. Even for a men’s baseball team. Sports operations are so much more than just the players, so I look forward to this evolving into greater representation of women in leadership in the future.  I’m curious, what are your thoughts about why there is still such a comparatively low number of women in business leadership positions? And how can we change that?  What have I been watching: Good Hang with Amy Poehler [http://uc1lg-nyucz1pjo6ec2nj5sw/]- I linked the YouTube channel for this podcast because I particularly love the video version of this one. There are so many more visual comedic elements to the show that come through the video version (and I admittedly have not listened to it any other way). If you’re looking for something that’s truly heartwarming and funny, I highly recommend it.  I’m not trying to tell you what to do, but here’s where I’m putting my dollar: Peace of the Earth Refillery [https://www.peaceoftheearth.com/the-refillery] in Louisville, KY as well as all refillery and zero-waste stores (shout out to Emma Grose for this recommendation in her interview episode!).  Purchase the full Collection of Between the Interviews episodes (includes video option) here [https://open.acast.com/networks/67351f025b81168b13ac5da4/shows/6921ffe6e842b164ee7bf35f/episodes/Purchase%20the%20full%20Collection%20of%20Between%20the%20Interviews%20episodes%20(includes%20video%20option)%20here] or at Patreon.com/CapitalismForGood [https://www.patreon.com/CapitalismForGood] All the ways to find, follow, & support the Capitalism for Good universe:  Apple Podcasts (Bittersweet Paradox) [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bittersweet-paradox/id1823784007?itscg=30200&itsct=podcast_box&ls=1&mttnsubad=1823784007] | Apple Podcasts (Capitalism for Good) [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/capitalism-for-good/id1779598970?itscg=30200&itsct=podcast_box&ls=1&mttnsubad=1779598970] | Apple Podcasts (Capitalism for Green) [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/capitalism-for-green/id1848015700?itscg=30200&itsct=podcast_box&ls=1&mttnsubad=1848015700] | Bittersweet Paradox Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/BitttersweetParadox] | Bittersweet Paradox Writing Club [https://www.patreon.com/collection/1574887?view=expanded] | Bluesky (Bittersweet Paradox) [https://bsky.app/profile/andreamasterson.bsky.social] | Bluesky (Capitalism for Good) [https://bsky.app/profile/capitalismforgood.bsky.social] | Capitalism for Good’s Between the Interviews Podcast [https://www.patreon.com/collection/1260863] | Capitalism for Good Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/CapitalismForGood] | Capitalism for Green Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/CapitalismForGreen] | Capitalism for Green: The Blog [https://www.patreon.com/collection/1723672?view=expanded] | Company Mentions [https://www.patreon.com/posts/company-mentions-130196545?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link] | Email Bittersweet Paradox [bittersweetparadoxpodcast@gmail.com] | Email Capitalism for Good [capitalismforgoodproject@gmail.com] | Email Capitalism for Green [CapitalismForGreen@gmail.com] | Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61584549780792] | Instagram (Andrea & her 2026 Goal = No New Things, Only New Experiences) [https://www.instagram.com/andimasterson/] | Instagram (Bittersweet Paradox) [https://www.instagram.com/bittersweetparadoxpodcast/] | Instagram (Capitalism for Good) [https://www.instagram.com/capitalismforgoodpodcast/] | Instagram (Capitalism for Green) [https://www.instagram.com/capitalismforgreen/] | Spotify (Bittersweet Paradox) [https://open.spotify.com/show/6QcGujvYaGCNxN1EgiBA8i?si=326a012dbd534f7a] | Spotify (Capitalism for Good) [https://open.spotify.com/show/5ocz9Xsl1mYOYOZwZ37ZQ5?si=7e6f52ba405b4ed4] | Spotify (Capitalism for Green) [https://open.spotify.com/show/3q6Zag8HzheqxITQK1y4dN?si=0d4e9870622646bc] | The Store, by CFG [https://thestorebycfg.myshopify.com/password] | TikTok (Capitalism for Good) [https://www.tiktok.com/@capitalismforgood] | YouTube (Capitalism for Good) [https://youtube.com/@capitalismforgoodpodcast?si=jt-mAtLapRdNjDve] Apple [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/capitalism-for-good/id1779598970?itscg=30200&itsct=podcast_box&ls=1&mttnsubad=1779598970] | Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/CapitalismForGood] | Email [capitalismforgoodproject@gmail.com] | Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/capitalismforgoodpodcast/] | Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/5ocz9Xsl1mYOYOZwZ37ZQ5?si=7e6f52ba405b4ed4] | TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@capitalismforgood] | YouTube [https://youtube.com/@capitalismforgoodpodcast?si=jt-mAtLapRdNjDve] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Why So Many Shout Outs

Veronica Hernandez [https://open.spotify.com/episode/1bPffaiVVJxxUqIu93SFzz?si=567f5008f4bc46cb] (GM of the Modesto Nuts) said it best when she was talking about “non-needy” conversations. Even her decision to say yes to me interviewing her could be considered her agreeing to a “non-needy” conversation that was based around simply being curious, learning, and listening.  So often, we get sucked into this traditional structure relying on large companies occupying large sections of the advertising market that we may have come to expect all conversations involving companies being sales opportunities. And while, yes, I can honestly admit that these interviews are a platform for promotion, however, the core goal is more of spreading the mentality of these leaders in a way in which we can learn from them. Then, secondarily, if folks choose to give the respective company their business,  Emma Grose [https://www.patreon.com/posts/emma-grose-ceo-128293313?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link](CEO & Co-founder of MABLE & HAY! Straws), talks about her management philosophy being focused on pointing out the wins and the things that are going well whenever possible. Leading from a place of encouragement instead of with an iron fist and fear that seems to only notice the things that could be better.  Infinity Song’s Hater’s Anthem [https://youtu.be/IRvmm2Cv0EE?si=AXEOwUrLqxd_2kmv] is a great song and an even better example of a satirical look at the Mean Girls culture that permeates our world. It’s also an example of the opposite of what I’d like to promote. If anything, I’m a hater of haters.  What have I been watching: The Kentucky Derby [https://www.churchilldowns.com/]- I currently live in Louisville, KY, so the Derby celebrations are difficult to avoid. Non-locals may be surprised to learn that the city turns this one race on one day into an almost month and a half long festival celebration all over the city. There’s an air show. There’s a fireworks show. There’s a gala. There are fashion shows. There are  I’m not trying to tell you what to do, but here’s where I’m putting my dollar: The local tourist economy. Just like a stay-cation is a great way to escape without actually fully escaping, jumping into the fun of your local community event that draws tourists can also be fun for locals and a great way to give your money right back to your local industry workers.  Purchase the full Collection of Between the Interviews episodes (includes video option) here [https://open.acast.com/networks/67351f025b81168b13ac5da4/shows/6921ffe6e842b164ee7bf35f/episodes/Purchase%20the%20full%20Collection%20of%20Between%20the%20Interviews%20episodes%20(includes%20video%20option)%20here] or at Patreon.com/CapitalismForGood [https://www.patreon.com/CapitalismForGood] Apple [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/capitalism-for-good/id1779598970?itscg=30200&itsct=podcast_box&ls=1&mttnsubad=1779598970] | Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/CapitalismForGood] | Email [capitalismforgoodproject@gmail.com] | Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/capitalismforgoodpodcast/] | Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/5ocz9Xsl1mYOYOZwZ37ZQ5?si=7e6f52ba405b4ed4] | TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@capitalismforgood] | YouTube [https://youtube.com/@capitalismforgoodpodcast?si=jt-mAtLapRdNjDve] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
