Why did you start your business? Were you motivated to make more money? Were you eager to explore a new career path?Or were you driven by a powerful purpose? If you built your business with the goal of creating positive change, becoming a certified B-Corp could help you on your mission. B-Corp companies are businesses founded on a larger purpose. They’re businesses that care about their impact. And we’re not just talking about the impact of a single product or service. We’re talking about the way your business is run, how you treat your employees, and how you impact the communities you serve. Today, I sat down with Carla Heim and Kasha Huk, two B-Corp experts who’ve made it their mission to spread awareness about B-Corp and encourage interested entrepreneurs to undergo the certification process. In our conversation, you’ll learn what a B-Corp is, how you can become B-Corp certified, and why socially responsible businesses are actually more likely to make a profit.  About my guests:Carla Heim is the senior advisor of purpose entrepreneurship at the Business Development Bank of Canada, a B-Corp certified company.
