  • What makes a job “good”?
    Jan 20 2025

    ‘A good job’ is a phrase we hear all the time. But what does it really mean? Perhaps some combination of fair pay, flexible hours, and a strong purpose? In this episode we set the foundation for our series on good jobs with Sarah Kalloch, Executive Director of Good Jobs Institute and Joachim Krapels, Head of Strategy & Global B Corp Movement at B Lab Global. We dive into the current employment landscape, how we got here, and how businesses in the B Corp community are supporting employees to thrive, not just survive.

  • How supporting entrepreneurs transforms communities
    Oct 10 2023

    Why don’t Black and brown entrepreneurs have the same access and opportunities as their wealthy, white counterparts? How can access, opportunity and support empower these entrepreneurs so that their great ideas are able to thrive and make a difference in the world?


    Jay Bailey is the President and CEO of the Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs. When we sat down in Aspen, we talked about how access is the key to empowering entrepreneurs and how RICE is building that access.
