In this episode of B Better Podcast, I talk with Kirsty McKay, Co-Founder of Sawmill Brewery, New Zealand’s first B Corp-certified brewery. Kirsty shares Sawmill’s journey to certification, the challenges of building a purpose-driven business, and what it means to truly commit to sustainability in every pint.

Kirsty dives into Sawmill’s eco-conscious practices, from zero-waste production to sustainable packaging, and shares her insights on creating a culture of purpose that inspires their team and community. She also offers advice for businesses wanting to start their own journey toward positive impact.

Join us for an inspiring chat on brewing a better world—one beer at a time. Cheers to change!

Curiosity killed the cat, but you needn't worry.

In this long-awaited and possibly my favourite episode recorded to date, we dive deep in with Ian Harvey from Collective Intelligence around the topics of curiosity, diversity of thought, and trust, and how that is all increasingly important for the modern business leader.

From a background as a farmer into the corporate world and the cut and thrust of board dynamics, Ian is now CEO of New Zealand-based B Corp Collective Intelligence. His aim now through the business

is to provide pathways for leaders across all different sectors to be able to have the highest level of clarity in their lives.

Beyond that, we explore Ian's powerful journey and the crucial event in his formative years that led him on the path that he's on.

This is an episode you will not want to miss.

Check it out! And get inspired.

Helen Townsend - putting the Sustained Fun back into the toy industry

In this episode, Helen, founder of EcoSplat, shares her inspiring journey into sustainable innovation. Originally launching the Rubbish Whisperer after witnessing the plastic pollution crisis in Nepal, Helen introduced reusable produce bags and paper straws to New Zealand, sparking the beginnings of a purposeful business. EcoSplat, known for its reusable water balloons, came to life as an eco-friendly alternative to plastic balloons, reducing waste by 1,200 pieces with each use.

Helen talks candidly about the transformation to Sustain Fun, a name change driven by a desire to reflect the brand’s core values. She also shares the challenges of navigating B Corp certification, maintaining a low-carbon footprint, and balancing purpose with profit in an industry that produces 1% of the world’s plastic. Helen’s insights on sustainable toys, the importance of awareness around climate change for kids, and her work through World Sustainable Toy Day are key takeaways for anyone interested in making a difference through business.

Tune in for an honest discussion about impactful, sustainable entrepreneurship in the world of toys and beyond.
