Running a Business for Social Good

Last night I listened to an interview with John Sage, one of the co-founders of Pura Vida Coffee. The Pura Vida business model is an innovative blend of socially responsible capitalism and non-profit philanthropy, or "capitalism as an agent of compassion."

The entire interview is less than 30 minutes, and in that time you get a high-level explanation of "fair trade" plus an overview of Pura Vida's business model and key partnerships.

If you're running a small green business or thinking of starting one, this interview is a great listen.

Yes, I listened to the same podcast. And, then realized I can check who was linking to that podcast. Your blog came up:) So, here I am writing a comment. If possible, please check my blog www.cafealaturca.com for upcoming information about Turkish coffee, and also some ideal socially responsible business models.
