Capitalism for Good

Andrea Masterson

The Capitalism for Good Podcast is all about how we make and spend our money to benefit the greater good (and how that benefits us right back). We are on a mission to do 100 interviews with business leaders about how they are using their businesses, both small and large, to make a positive impact in their internal and external communities. This is the intersection of money, time, energy, and bandwidth considering how to balance these for now and for the future.Capitalism for Good is all about

This week is yet another outcome from my November 2025 Instagram algorithm dive to find companies that were doing their part to support their community. Mothership Coffee’s Sip with Purpose program chooses a new nonprofit to support each quarter with customers purchasing a designated drink with proceeds benefiting the charity. It’s another creative way to integrate a community giveback program into the DNA of the business model. It’s a way of prioritizing the people all around the business, inside

Stacy Grace is the Co-Founder & CEO of Kent which is an underwear and basics brand made of 100% non-synthetic organic cotton. They also have one of my all-time favorite slogans: “plant your pants.” I’ll start with her entrepreneurial pathway that involves a pivot from pricy organic silk to synthetic free cotton basics. She talks about how she knew in her gut basic cotton underwear was more her than the fancier silk version. Next, how “your daily choice can make a daily impact” leads to

This one with Tory Hall, Owner & Operator of Sower Books in Lincoln, NE really burrowed into the folds of my brain in a way that makes me stare at my computer screen with all the thoughts and no thoughts at all. It’s the kind of conversation that deserved quiet time for me to process. Each time I thought that I’d wrapped my brain around the reflection, it fell another layer deeper. I was silent with the weight of it after we talked and just when I’d closed my eyes to almost fall asleep that

He quickly admits that he could take or leave real estate. It’s just a vehicle for him to encourage others to fill their best shoes. That got me intrigued. I had more questions. Most people I speak with lead with their jobs (as do many of us when asked “what do you do?”). What sticks out the most to me about Dan is the way in which he views the world. It all comes back to being a teacher and a coach even when the environment looks a little different. At one point, he was a teacher in a classroom. At
