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.

Capitalism for Good has a touchy feely introspective sister project called Bittersweet Paradox all about how the darkest of times and the lightest of times can exist simultaneously through both a Writing Club and a Podcast. The Capitalism for Green project puts the lessons learned in Capitalism for Good into action in real time.

Cathy Nesbitt calls herself an “accidental entrepreneur" and is the Founder of Cathy’s Composters and Cathy’s Chuckle Club, Not only does Cathy teach us about laughter yoga and tell us about how she became to be an ambassador for it, but she also talks about how she started her career as a secretary, studied psychology, owned a composting worm business, and so many other detours along the way. At each stop, she gained some new skills, found new ways to help her community, and all of it brought her to where she is today. It’s such a twisty turny journey that so many of us can relate to. We can also learn a lot from her.
She talks about how sometimes it’s not easy to make sense of the dots while you connecting them in real time or truly understand the impact that you have on the community around you, but, as she reminds me in real time as we talked, leading with positivity and encouragement for your community does have an impact even if we don’t see it in real time. Even if we don’t see it later. You never know how a small interaction, a chance to educate children about the value of worms, a morning laughter yoga session, or whatever it is that you’re doing today may positively impact those around you. It’s people like Cathy that remind me (and hopefully all of us) that it’s worth giving it our best effort to do right by our community whether we see the impact or not. In her words, “all of these little impacts make a big impact.”
Last week, I attended her Chuckle Club for the first time. It was a Tuesday morning at 9:30AM EST. I had just finished a work out, scrambled to get showered, and annoyed at myself for (once again) trying to stuff too many things into too little time and likely running late. I didn’t really know what to expect and I am so happy to report that it was a delight. It was cheesy for sure, but I’ll be darned if I didn’t truly have a smile on my face as I laughed and it lasted throughout the day. If you want some pure, honest to god, lighthearted fun moments, I highly recommend checking it out.
