Episode #68 // Being an Earth Conscious Boss

April 19, 2016
"You can only do so much, but you can do something."
- Kathleen Shannon

It’s Earth Day this week, so today we wanted to show you our hippie side and talk about sustainability and our relationship with the Earth. This episode is a little different, but we think conversations about the environment and our impact on the world are important. We’re talking about what we as business owners can do to make a difference, and we’ve got an Earth Week challenge for our bosses.
