Episode Notes

Part of the puzzle of building a more sustainable future is getting to a place of shared understanding about the challenges we face, and the impact of our actions. But this can be tricky when the problems seem invisible or difficult to measure. Our guest this week is Tim Frick, founder and CEO of Mightybytes, a digital agency and B Corp based in Chicago. Tim has spent more than two decades working to tackle problems at the intersection of design, technology, marketing, and sustainability, and to create digital solutions that are better for both people and planet.

The Digital Economy, encompassing the internet, digital computing, and now blockchain technology, has transformed our lives. It’s changed how businesses are structured and operated, how consumers access and obtain goods and services, and these days, especially since the pandemic, how many of us work. But few of us stop to think about the environmental impacts of this new economy, and we should.

In this episode of Purpose Works, Tim and and host Maren Keeley, cofounder & CEO of Handprint, discuss the challenges that emerge from a constantly shifting technological landscape, and what corporate digital responsibility looks like in 2022.
