Ep190: This Mattress Company Lets You Give Back While You Sleep
Today on CauseTalk Radio, Megan and I talk to David Wolfe, Co-Founder and CEO of Leesa Sleep, a certified B-Corp that donates one mattress to a shelter for every ten it sells. To date, they've donated 9,000 mattresses and are proudly pioneering a way for people to give back while they sleep!
On the show, Megan, David and I discuss:
