What if the smallest decisions we make as business owners and consumers could have a lasting impact in the world?

This is what we question here at The Business of Universal Kindness. If you’re curious about living more naturally by choosing products that are kind to , the planet and the creatures that we share it with, then keep listening. And if you’re operating a business that creates these types of products, then pull up a chair because we’re about to find out what it takes to build a company that makes money and does some good in the world too.

I’m your host Sarah Henson - email strategist to mission driven e-commerce companies. Join me on this journey as we explore what it means to take radical responsibility for our choices, whilst also making an impact that can change the world... because Universal Kindness is everybody's business.
