Beyond the B: Latest on the B Corp Movement
Reclaiming the “Why” Behind B Corp (w/ Corey Lien)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ryan Honeyman and Emmy Allison speak with Corey Lien about the original promise of the B Corp movement, what it meant to build B Lab Taiwan in the early days, and why the movement now feels more fragmented and uncertain. Corey reflects on authenticity, interdependence, and the tension between certification as a tool and movement as the larger purpose. Together, they explore whether this is a moment for reinvention or a return to the deeper “why” that first animated business as a force for good.
