Welcome to a new episode of Patriot on Purpose. In this episode, we go on a journey through the minds of two entrepreneurs who delve deep into the meaning behind what it means to build businesses that transcend financial success. We navigate the interconnected pillars of personal values, societal impact, and the power of conscious capitalism. We reflect on our experiences and how aligning business ventures with personal beliefs not only shapes their identity but also amplifies their ability to effect positive change. 

Highlights:

"If you can't make it up the ladder without taking your eyes off of who you're actually caring for and who you're trying to protect, then you're just going to go up that ladder and end up all by yourself." 

"It's just like attitudes around money... if you treat it as if it's a relatively benign thing that has no impact on your meaning and your identity and it's just a tool, then you are able to take massive amounts of it and do something with it that most people can't."

"This company... we're using commerce or business as a weapon against darkness."
