Design Economics Podcast with Vinny TafuroEP 2.4 Tonya Donati: Growing Slow is Sexy: Kombucha, B Corps & Patient CapitalJoin host Vinny Tafuro and guest Tonya Donati, Founder and CEO of Mother Kombucha, for a conversation about building a certified B Corp through bootstrapped, regional growth. Tonya's journey from occupational therapist to beverage entrepreneur reflects a shift in business fundamentals—rejecting the venture capital model in favor of profitability, community anchoring, and stakeholder capitalism. Their conversation explores how B Corps formalize the paradigm shift from shareholder primacy to values-driven business, and how slow, sustainable growth is making traditional business fundamentals sexy again.Support the Design Economics Podcast on Patreon
