Beyond the B: Real Talk on the B Corp Movement
Beyond the B is more than just a conversation—it’s an ongoing discussion about the past, present, and future of the B Corp movement. It’s “real talk” that doesn’t shy away from the tough topics. This space invites entrepreneurs, activists, and business leaders to engage honestly about what’s working, what’s not, and where the movement needs to go next. It’s a place for reflection, challenge, and growth.
Building Locally Self-Reliant Economies
One of the core focuses of LIFT Economy is fostering locally self-reliant economies. This means creating systems that support communities to thrive independently, reducing reliance on distant or extractive supply chains. The approach includes strategies to reverse climate change, embrace nonviolent communication, and develop self-managing organizations. It’s about building resilience and justice from the ground up.
