In this episode, we're chatting with accomplished mission-driven business leader John Replogle, current Executive Chair of Leesa Mattress.

Founded as a Benefit Corporation, Leesa was built around the global issue of childhood bedlessness. For every 10 beds they sell, Leesa donates 1 to a child in need. Already, theyโ€™ve donated over 38,000 beds. They also use sustainable materials and design and manufacture their mattresses right here in the USA.

In our Episode with John, we discuss:

  • John's experience as the CEO of both Seventh Generation and Burt's Bee's, as well as being a founding member of One Better Ventures.
  • What makes a business 'mission-driven' and why they're necessary for true change
  • Mission-driven vs purpose-driven companies
  • Leesa's #1bedlessnight campaign
  • How to start a purpose-driven business (or embed practices into an existing one)
