The Good Business Tour

New Show Launching

Fall 2026

!

Hitting the road and celebrating businesses that only not make money, and also make a difference – and do good.
We travel across cities to meet the entrepreneurs shaping what good business looks like in real life.

Not from a distance. Not from a stage. From their offices. Their storefronts. Their tables. Their factories. Their first locations.

Every city has a different rhythm.
Every entrepreneur has a different story.
We go to all of it - and find the good.
