Welcome to "Beyond the B," an ongoing discussion about what is working and not working in the B Corp movement.
The goal of this podcast is to facilitate an open and honest conversation about Certified B Corporations, advise companies on how to increase their impact, and provide a deep dive into the new B Corp standards that are shaping our community.
