A New Angle

This week’s guest is Spencer Williams, founder and CEO of West Paw, a company that makes dog toys and treats. West Paw has built an entirely U.S.-based supply chain and does all of its manufacturing right here in Montana. West Paw is also the first B Corporation in Montana and is a great example of business as a force for good.

In this conversation, Spencer talks about West Paw’s inception and why he committed to manufacturing in America. He explains what being a B Corp means to West Paw, and comments on the current state of Montana’s economy, and how that can make attracting and retaining talent difficult.
