“There isn't a moment that I've experienced in the Conscious Capitalism community that hasn't changed me for the better or made me stronger. The belief of conscious capitalism is that if people come first the profits will follow. Start somewhere. Don't be consumed with perfection. You can start anywhere to make a difference."

“Conscious Capitalism gives you that incredible keystone, that foundational platform on which to build your business. But what you actually discover is the incredible humanity of the people you meet -- the empathy, the compassionate passion for playing a meaningful role in improving other people's lives. And if we can inspire each other as business leaders and then inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs, we can shift the whole perception around the role of business and society. We can address all the challenges we face at scale.”

“My involvement with Conscious Capitalism was like most good things in life… lucky. When I discovered Conscious capitalism, I realized that I had found my tribe. I was certainly inspired by the richness of ideas that were expressed in the Conscious Capitalism concept. When I think of what happens when you follow the tenets of Conscious Capitalism… one word comes to mind and that is clarity. Because once you understand what Conscious Capitalism stands for … it provides us a framework in which we know what to do next. It takes the confusion out.”

The idea behind L.A. Kitchen is to consciously show, every single day, that you can mix profit and purpose together and get tremendous results. We’re trying to employ a disruptive business model. Los Angeles spends millions of dollars on senior meal contracts. But they get processed meals made by men and women getting low wages, and the profit leaves Los Angeles and never comes back. We’re coming along saying, ‘look at our model’. We’ll buy local, we’ll employ people at a good wage, we’ll produce healthier meals from scratch, and the profit will never leave. We reinvest over and over.  

We’re one of the best examples of Conscious Capitalism not only in L.A., but anywhere in America. L.A. Kitchen…is a badass machine of love, butter, opportunity, fresh produce…and Conscious Capitalism.
