10: Christopher Cieri, Franklin & Whitman - The Activist CEO and Creating A Company That Cares

In this episode, we talk with Chris Cieri. Chris is the founder and CEO of Franklin and Whitman, a non-toxic, vegan, and cruelty-free skincare company. Not only do they focus on using only clean, high-quality ingredients, they also structure their business with a strong emphasis on giving back. With every purchase made, Franklin and Whitman donates a portion of all their sales to dog rescue organizations. Listening to Chris in this episode uplifted our spirits and I hope you feel the same. We dive deep into what it means to be an owner and CEO of a company with a mission that goes beyond just profit. We go into Chris’s personal development journey and how it led him to turn his passion project into a profitable business. We also speak on what it takes to build lasting relationships in the social media space and how relationships and doing good is at the core of creating meaningful success in your life and business. ✼ To learn more about Franklin and Whitman and check out their products: https://franklinandwhitman.com/ ✼ To follow Franklin and Whitman on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/frankandwhit/ ✼ To follow Chris on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cieri/ ✼ To listen to Chris’s podcast The Cultivating Passion Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cultivating-passion-podcast/id1495607574 ✼ You can find our host’s Instagrams: Laura - https://www.instagram.com/lauramdifrancesco/ Lindsay - https://www.instagram.com/sweetgreensoul/ Casey - https://www.instagram.com/caseyflu/ ✼ To Follow Flourish on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishwestchester/ ✼ To visit our Flourish Coworking Space Website & sign up for a free 3-day pass and come Co-work with us! https://www.flourishcoworking.com/ ✼ To join our online Flourish Community - we would LOVE to have you: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1065830593803399/ ✼ To connect with Dean Street Law on Instagram for daily posted legal advice: https://www.instagram.com/deanstreetlaw/ ✼ For free legal guides and resources: https://deanstreetlaw.com/resources ✼ To join our Flourish x LMD Bookclub: https://mailchi.mp/flourishcoworking.com/joinflourishbookclub ✼ To reference the equipment we use to record the podcast Headphones - https://amzn.to/3dXthWz Microphone - https://amzn.to/3dUqmOe ✼ To view any of the products, books, and resources we have mentioned in the Podcast: Gary V Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-garyvee-audio-experience/id928159684 “Braving the Wilderness” Brene Brown - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0812985818/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0812985818&linkCode=as2&tag=wegrowtogethe-20&linkId=ca4cedc70a8424a0c26e0f127adbf311 “The Infinite Game” Simon Sinek - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/073521350X/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=073521350X&linkCode=as2&tag=wegrowtogethe-20&linkId=416ec209acc656280d45a05136556793 “Me and White Supremacy” Layla F.
