Making Sustainability Fun with Colin McIntosh of Sheets and Giggles

See this content in the original post

Happy National Sleep Day (a little late)! Sleep is a big deal when it comes to energetic sustainability, and when you combine that with the CEO of a company that makes sheets from sustainable materials, you’ve got Colin McIntosh from Sheets & Giggles! Kelly & Lara are thrilled to welcome Colin to D(g)B. 

Colin quickly became a favorite guest, and it’s easy to understand why. In his own words, "I'm a millennial, a CEO, a progressive, and a free-market capitalist, and I don't think any of those things are mutually exclusive." This CEO really does give a sheet!

Join us to learn:

  • Why sheets? 

  • What’s the most important role in the entire company? The answer might surprise you.

  • How do they help their employees sustain themselves - these are some of the most unique ideas we’ve heard in our 50+ episodes! 

  • The public pledge Colin made in March at the start of COVID-19

  • What Sustainability looks like at a corporate level, with program participation in things such as One Tree Planted and their own Give Two Sheets

  • How in a pandemic they’re not scaling back - instead they donated 200 sets of sheets to a pop-up COVID shelter in Denver, CO, where they’re headquartered

  • How does Colin sustain his energy during this time? As an admitted workaholic, it’s harder than you might think

  • Meet their VP of Barketing: https://sheetsgiggles.com/pages/harvey  No, that’s not a typo!
