Bryan founded B the Change Media in 2015 to look at how businesses, particularly B Corporations, work to bring about social good. Bryan is a rancher and entrepreneur. For 19 years he ran Ogden publications, the owner of Mother Earth News, Mother Earth Living, Grit, and several other category-leading media companies focused on sustainability, natural health, and rural lifestyle.

After listening to this interview, what are your thoughts on B Corporations? Do you see business as a valid agent for change? Can you see how Bryan's observation and engagement of employees lead to greater well-being for those individuals, their community, and the organization? Would you consider moving your work, if you are an entrepreneur, towards a B Corporation? I'd like to know what you think about all this. Leave a comment below.
