Impact
Are you a fan of Shark Tank? Do you think they understand the value in Conscious Capitalism? Jeff Cherry, of Conscious Venture Labs, is not quite sure they do. Though a company that practices Conscious Capitalism did get funded, what he heard from some of the Sharks was disturbing. Jeff put it well when he said, “The old question, “Can you do good and do well at the same time?” is no longer valid. In the Blue Ocean of Conscious Capitalism, if you’re not doing good, you’re going to be much less likely to do well.“
Informative Read

Inspiration
Did you know Conscious Capitalism has its own credo?
“We believe that business is good because it creates value, it is ethical because it is based on voluntary exchange, it is noble because it can elevate our existence and it is heroic because it lifts people out of poverty and creates prosperity. Free enterprise capitalism is the most powerful system for social cooperation and human progress ever conceived. It is one of the most compelling ideas we humans have ever had. But we can aspire to even more.”
