First a shout out to a listener…my mother, Connie. She listens sporadically to the show, but she tuned into my episodes with Scott and they really grabbed her attention. She was so excited what Scott is doing that she shared with her local family owned restaurant (I think they might be there everyday) the story of what Scott’s doing. They then got her into contact with their distributor who really caught on to Scott’s vision for creating work for those living with disabilities and they have now brought his wine into their area, a new market for Scott and 100% wine. So cool.

Scott was one of my first guests that I asked what challenge the world could help him with and finding new markets was one of them. Who knew it would be my mom spurring that on! That’s why you put the challenge out there.

Anyway, let’s listen to the full episode with Scott Monette, Founder of 100% Wine, a company dedicated to giving 100% of profits to organizations that are creating meaningful work for the 53 Million Americans living with disabilities. In addition, we’ll hear his thoughts on being a B Corporation.

Be inspired that you can create a business that is driven by a strong calling or purpose.

Spent a few minutes with Valentina Silva, Communications Specialist at the Zingerman's Service Network, to get an employee's perspective of the Zingerman's Community of Businesses.

The hiring process - pay attention and care
She’s working harder than she ever has, yet loves it more than any job she’s had.
Creating uplifting open workplaces are good for society. Let’s not downplay it.

In the first episode we learned that Kieron Hales, Managing Partner of Cornman Farms, is multi-talented and is moved to creating a family. He intentionally looks to garner the input of his team through lean and open book practices. This week we look at the results of this inspiration and intentionality. The biggest lesson, he didn’t know anything when he started and failure is the best way to move the company forward.
