Sustainability and Social Impact - Mountain Mindful

Note: In Your Business is now What’s Next? We’ve refreshed the name, but the conversations you love are still here. These bonus episodes were originally released under In Your Business and remain part of our archive. This week, we are joined by Leslie Norris, director of Mountain Mindful. Mountain Mindful is a social enterprise headquartered in Huntington that creates custom apparel, furniture from reclaimed wood, and even self-care products. They are dedicated to hiring people who face barriers to employment, such as those recovering from Substance Use Disorder or former workers from the coal economy. In this episode, Leslie shares more about their mission and history, the process of producing environmentally sustainable products, and the significant impact of hiring and training workers who face substantial barriers to employment. Tune in to learn about the inspiring work of Mountain Mindful.
