And if you're deciding between using this supplier, which is made in a sweatshop in some foreign country, and then this one, which makes a higher quality product, but pays its workers a living wage,
That suddenly is not simply an ethical issue, but it's also a P&L issue.
And I actually remember at American Apparel one time, someone was suggesting that Dove move the factories overseas.
And he looked at him and he said, if all I cared about was making money, I'd have become a drug dealer.
And I think about that all the time.
It's like, oh, yeah, I chose not to.
By definition, you've already chosen not to do a bunch of super unethical but potentially profitable things.
So here, as you're making a decision, don't let profit be the only thing you're thinking about because you have other values.
And as an entrepreneur and as a leader, I think you have an obligation to try to make the world a better place.

This is the one that was important to me.
This is the one that was creatively fulfilling.
This is the one that I think no one else has done.
