David Gaines: Use your work to change the world


Listen Later

David Gaines is the author of the forthcoming book, “Radical Business: The Root of Your Work and How it Can Change the World.” He is also the CEO and chief visionary for La Terza Artisan Coffee Roasterie, and serves as the board chairperson for the Social Enterprise Alliance. His company, La Terza, is a full-service coffee resource that provides the highest-quality coffee for consumers, as well as equipment and education for restaurants and coffee shops, and more. La Terza takes pride in the relationships they have formed with coffee producers from around the world, whose employees are paid living wages and whose growing methods are sustainable.


David draws on his experiences leading these social enterprises to provide a blueprint for helping organizations deepen their social impact. He is admittedly an idealist that dreams of a world where all businesses are social enterprises and where people are equally valued, served, and empowered.
David is a loving husband and father, enjoys the solitude and beauty of nature, and is energized meeting new people and old friends over a crafted beverage.
