Advice Line with Jeffrey Hollender of Seventh Generation

Today’s callers: Kristina in Ohio looks for avenues beyond organic social media to market her furniture designed for toddlers and parents alike. Then Phil in Michigan considers the best messaging to brew interest in his farm-made cherry vinegar. And Caroline in California scouts new ways to cultivate curiosity around her plant-based dog food. Plus, Jeffrey discusses the quiet momentum of social businesses as they navigate ‘greenhushing’ and a polarized political climate. Thank you to the founders of Twenty Five and Pine, Red Truck Orchards, and Petaluma for being a part of our show.
