Emma Grose, Co-Founder & CEO of MABLE and HAY! Straws (Interview 5/100)

Emma Grose, CEO & Co-founder of MABLE and HAY! Straws with both brands focused on designing and manufacturing sustainable products like toothbrushes (both manual and electric toothbrush heads), straws, cutlery, floss, cotton swabs, and stir sticks. What’s even better, both brands have built in community give-back programs so you can feel even better about purchasing these products. We talk about her experiences getting started and the lack of female representation in the venture capital world, the importance of sustainability and community give-back programs, how she found the confidence to be the strong leader she is now, and the difficulties of running sustainably-manufactured brands in today’s volatile world (especially in the United States). 

Early and bonus shows as well as curated discussions and merch are available on Patreon.

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 talk to business leaders about how they are using their businesses, both small and large, to make a positive difference in their communities. This is the intersection of money, time, energy, and bandwidth considering how to balance these for now and for the future’s “now.”

There’s also a Between the Interviews sub-series and other perks available on the Patreon.
