Scaling a Social Impact Business with Parker Clay Co-Founders Ian + Brittany Bentley
It’s time that we challenge the business community: you don’t need to choose between beautiful products, and the people who make them. In this episode, Pia interviews Parker Clay co-founders Ian and Brittany Bentley about why, as a social impact company, they didn’t put any focus on their impact for the first 3 years of business; how they reversed the idea ‘if you build it they will come’ using data to open their third retail location; how they create rhythms with 5 kids at home, dual partnership at work and in life, and a company vision to help 10 million women in the next 10 years.
Parker Clay was voted “Best for the world” in the category of community, placing them in the top 5% of all B corps in the world.
