On today’s podcast, we discuss how Bombas has held onto its purpose as it has scaled, what separates partnerships that last from those that are simply campaigns, and the signals that tell Soles4Souls when a company is genuinely committed versus just checking a box.

Tune in for a conversation featuring Vice President of Content and host Suzy Davidkhanian, Buddy Teaster, President and CEO of Soles4Souls, and Kelly Cobb, VP of Impact at Bombas.
