Why the Brand Your Buy Matters: Impact Beyond the Price Tag | Conspiracy of Goodness Podcast Interview by Dr Lynda from Goodness Exchange   

As Dr Lynda said:  

We are in the days of the Great Resignation, or what I like to call, The Great Questioning. We’re seeing people worldwide realize that businesses should operate with purpose, on purpose, and for purpose. That’s where Tim Jones comes in!  

Tim Jones is The Grow Good Guy. He delivers the inspiration, motivation, and impactful training that businesses need to achieve meaningful goals and tap into their potential to do good in the world, or rather, their “purpose fuelled performance.”  

His business is one of New Zealand's founding B Corps. He's also a B Corp Ambassador for NZ. More recently, he’s been co-teaching the University of Canterbury MBA Programme, "Creating Impact-led Enterprises,” as New Zealand's #1 B Corp and business for good specialists!   

In this episode, you’re going to hear how B Corp certification can fuel good in the world, how this new structure is evolving and improving, and the impact of an increasingly values-driven economy.  Get ready for some good fun (never a dull moment with Tim here), and let’s peel back the curtains of our price tags and learn why the brand you buy or sell matters to the world.

In this episode, we talk to one of our amazing B Better 100 clients, Wendy Alexander from Kin Recruitment.

At the time we spoke, Wendy had clicked submit on her B Corp Impact Assessment.

We talk about the journey to B Corp and some of the factors she sees driving the rise of B Corp and purpose-driven business.

Since we connected, Kin have had their B Corp score confirmed. They came to us at just over 50 points and ended up certifying with a very solid 112.5.

In this podcast, I spoke to Craig Murray who is organising the New Zealand Small Business & Entrepreneur Festival. 

He was keen to understand if B Corp is something that SME's should be interested in. Do you know what B corp is?   

Wondering if it will add value to your business?  How can you besom certified?  This podcast will answer your B Corp questions:   

"The B Corp movement is one of the most important of our lifetime, built on the simple fact that business impacts and serves more than just shareholders - it has an equal responsibility to the community and to the planet.” ​ Rose Marcario Former CEO Patagonia  

Certified B Corps are a new form of business that seeks to balance purpose and profit. This means that rather than solely focusing on profit maximisation, they consider the impact of their operations on their workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment.

Have you heard of a B Corp? 

In this episode, I speak to Adam Harris about the rise globally of the B Corp, what they are and how you can investigate becoming one. It's about a businesses social and environmental performance and I talk him through the key things you need to know about this business certification. We also talk about purpose and then take a sharp turn to delve into history and philosophy and how it relates to goal setting and achievement in business. 

You won't want to miss this conversation. 

About Adam Harris: "I work with CEO’s, managing directors, their boards and leadership teams as well as aspiring leaders who want to climb the corporate ladder. I help them achieve greater results for their teams, their businesses and themselves. How? By taking them from where they are to where they want to get to. I do that not by answering their questions, but by questioning their questions. By being Frank and Fearless. I ask tough questions and encourage my clients to say what they really think. I create space to enable them to stop, pause and reflect. Out of that space comes clarity and real opportunities for growth. I help my clients do incredible things. I help them understand that good and bad things happen. Life goes on regardless. What matters is your perspective and how you react to the shit that happens to you. What you get out of life depends on how you navigate your way through it.".

I had a great time talking to Dr Alise Cortez on her Working On Podcast radio programme.

It’s hard to remember the times when people began a business, in order to make a “boatload of money.” Of course, that still happens. But more and more people are looking for ways to balance profit and purpose through their business – AND society and customers are asking them to do the same. 

Enter the B Corp certification for business. Rather than focusing on profit maximization, these business owners and leaders consider the impact of their operations on their workers, customers, suppliers, community and the environment.
