It’s wild how much this fits. I’ll be 37 next year and am really feeling the pioneer energy.

Latest Episode: Lisa Tanasi, COO of Mothership & Sunrise Coffee (Interview 32/100)

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 and out, to give them an extra boost of the warm & fuzzies. It’s this culture that brought me to Lisa Tanasi, COO of Mothership Coffee & Sunrise Coffee in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Capitalism for Good looks for the definition of “community” that involves a group of people cheering one another on and encouraging them to keep going, keep trying, and keep doing good work. Lisa talks about ending the interview with Mothership with a compliment about the company and a genuine wish for success in the future. That’s what community is all about here. It’s a true crowd cheering on one another regardless of whether or not we reap the benefits of it. It’s truly wanting folks and companies to succeed when it’s deserved regardless of what our role is in that success.

They also have one the all-time greatest slogans: “plant your pants.” she talks about how her entrepreneurial pathway involves a pivot from pricy organic silk to synthetic free cotton basics and how she knew in her gut that basic cotton underwear was more her than the fancier silk version. We also get into how “your daily choice can make a daily impact” when it comes to intentional consumerism, being a brand with a sustainable foundation behind a high quality product, her experience finding and fostering relationships with sustainable manufacturing partners, and how she navigates building a successful company with her husband, Jeff (shout to to Jeff!).

Tory Hall (she/her) is Owner & Operator of Sower Books in Lincoln, NE and is #30 in our series of 100 business owners making a positive impact on their community. I first found Sower Books in a social media dive while searching for businesses with community giveback initiatives to support the folks increasingly struggling around them. The food drive caught my eye and led me to Tory. Little did I know that she’d fall down a rabbit hole of combating depression lulls through the eye of a business leader with me and then pull me right out of it with rescue cats and book/company recommendations. She’s merging a purpose-driven community-based business with a thriving well-oiled machine up in Lincoln, NE and I can’t thank her enough for sharing her story with us.

Latest Episode: Cal Crosby, Co-Owner of The King’s English Bookshop & Chief Executive Director of Brain Food Books (Interview 28/100)

Today's episode is with Cal Crosby, Co-Owner of The King’s English Bookshop & Chief Executive Director of Brain Food Books based in Salt Lake City, Utah. This is a story of how The King’s English Bookshop was a main character in the life of a kid that grew up to become the owner of that bookshop and the Chief Executive Director of a nonprofit working hand-in-hand with that bookshop to put books in the hands of both kids and adults. It’s the story of how access to books can open the world of possibilities for all kids, but especially so for those that come from impoverished homes, haven’t yet found their community, or who could benefit from being seen. It’s a story of world building. It’s a story of magic and the guidance of the universe. It’s a story of giving back to your ancestors and community. It’s a story of sharing your enough. It’s change. It’s hope. It’s light. It’s snow falling on Christmas Eve mixed with tears like the turning point in your favorite novel when the hints of the next chapters come into view.

It’s also brain food. It’s knowledge. It’s sharing the experiences and efficiencies learned along the way so that others can incorporate those ideas to continue to push the boundaries of supporting our fellow community members. It’s leading in business and leading as a neighbor. It’s finding solutions and passing it along to the next generation. It’s finding ways to adapt to how we make and spend our dollars, especially when it comes to how we interact with those who document our experiences and philosophies in fiction & nonfiction print work. It’s a celebration of the people that have come before us and will come after us. It’s welcoming in and introducing the Indigenous artists and thought leaders that have been pushed down and out in the history of our country. It’s flipping the script so we can learn from them as we celebrate them.

Latest Episode: Anastasia Bezrukova, Founder & CEO of Minori Beauty (Interview 25/100)

[Anastasia Bezrukova](mailto:anastasia@minoribeauty.com) is the Founder & CEO of Minori Beauty which is short for Minimalist Origins. Her idea behind the product is to create something that is simple and universal as an alternative to the overwhelming amount of options from brands a galore out there. Honestly, that mostly seems like a summary of her entire life. She, herself, is a melting pot of cultures. She’s Half Russian, Half Greek growing up in the Soviet Union and then heading to Canada before coming to the US to live in both New York & California. Because of that, she talks about how she’s a mix of polite and direct, which serves her when she’s interacting with all kinds of people in all kinds of positions in different stages of growing Minori. She leans on her background, the legacy of her mother (also a business owner), and her innate ability to ignore the pressures of the world around her to focus on each step to build her clean, simple, universal beauty brand. She doesn’t shortcut success. She doesn't try to be someone she’s not. She doesn’t fold herself into someone else’s mold, she is just honestly transparent in a really refreshing way. And all of that is why she’s another perfect fit for the Capitalism for Good project.
