S01E15 – The Future of Sustainability and Stewardship With Ken McCarty

“Any progress is good progress. Just get started.” Ken McCarty and his three brothers are dairy farmers at McCarty Farms in Kansas, Nebraska and Ohio. They are committed to sustainability and define it as creating an ecosystem that can support their business into the future and creating business practices to support the ecosystem and community. By educating others about agriculture and giving back to their communities, they are building a sustainable environment for their business to grow and do more good. In this episode, learn how McCarty farms promotes all forms of sustainability to ensure their business, environment and people are thriving for years to come.



Throughout the last decade, a significant movement has become more prevalent within the business world. An initiative that places a greater emphasis on people over profit; more organizations are embracing their passion for impact in an effort to leave the world in a better state from which they found it. Entities such as Ben and Jerry’s, Tom’s Shoes, Warby Parker, Patagonia, and many more are thriving with purpose at the wheel. What implications does this hold for marketplace opportunity? What internal and external challenges do these companies face when shifting their primary trajectory towards doing good in the world? Is there merit in the common stigma of organizations needing to be a nonprofit to place focus on impact and change? These and questions of the same vein are what Graham and Andrew seek to uncover. By sitting with entrepreneurs, founders, CEOs, executives, and visionaries who are walking the walk, the two have the opportunity to seek out how this movement is changing the way business is being done across the globe.
