Episode #84: An Inspired Entrepreneur Thinking Out of The Box!

Creating an inspiring company selling blankets? You bet!Bob Dalton, the CEO of Sackcloth and Ashes, embarked on a mission with a unique one-to-one business model: for every blanket sold, another is donated to a homeless shelter. His passion and creativity lead to innovative production methods, collaboration with Indigenous designers, and active engagement with grassroots movements across the country.One of his innovations is rethinking packaging - using it to inspire local grassroots connections and pay it forward by reusing the blanket boxes to donate items to homeless shelters.Inspiring and creative, Bob Dalton is an out-of-the-box entrepreneur. He will also be a speaker at The Conscious Capitalism CEO summit in October 2024.**If you enjoy this podcast, would you consider leaving a review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?
