In this heartfelt interview captured live, Rev. Becca Stevens, founder of Thistle Farms and President of the Center for Contemplative Justice, joins Buddy Teaster for a deep dive into the power of mission-driven business. She unpacks the ideas of a “love economy” and “justice enterprises,” where purpose outweighs profit, and reflects on her journey from working directly with survivors to leading a national movement. With wisdom shaped by her faith and calling as an Episcopal priest, Becca shares honest insights about community, compassion, and navigating the inevitable “tailspins” of meaningful work. She also offers a moving perspective on leadership transitions and how to leave an organization with grace and inspiration.
