Which came first: the business or the purpose?For most companies, the answer is the business. But Tony's Chocolonely turned that formula upside down.In this episode of Purpose 360, Carol Cone welcomes Douglas Lamont, CEO of Tony's Chocolonely, for a fascinating conversation about one of the world's most purpose-driven companies. Founded by investigative journalists determined to expose child labor and exploitation in the cocoa industry, Tony's wasn't created to sell chocolate—it was created to prove that chocolate could be made differently.Douglas shares how Tony's has transformed that original act of advocacy into a global brand while staying relentlessly focused on its mission. He explains why the company calls itself an impact company, how its sourcing model and Mission Lock governance structure protect purpose at scale, and why transparency, collaboration, and creativity are essential to driving systemic change.Whether you're leading a purpose-driven business, building one from the ground up, or simply curious about how business can become a force for good, this conversation offers practical leadership lessons and an inspiring vision for what's possible.Purpose 360 is produced by TruStory FM.Full Show Notes & ResourcesView on YouTube (00:00) - Welcome to Purpose 360 (00:13) - Tony's Chocolonely • Douglas Lamont (03:16) - Childhood Influences (05:32) - Favorite Flavor (06:07) - Origin Story (10:28) - Becoming the Company It Is Today (11:42) - Shifting Careers (12:45) - How They Fight Exploitation (18:42) - Five Principles (20:11) - Reporting Good and Bad (21:33) - Advice for Building Brand (22:29) - Two Governance Tracks (25:31) - Marketing (29:34) - The Name (31:07) - Advice to Young People (33:21) - Advice for Social Entrepreneurs (34:11) - Rapid Fire Questions (36:58) - Last Word (38:04) - Wrap Up

When you hear the word judgment, what comes to mind? For many people, it brings feelings of fear or uncertainty. But Revelation paints a different picture. God's judgment is not the opposite of His love, it is the fulfillment of it. Because God loves His creation, He will not allow sin, evil, and suffering to have the final word.In week five of our Revelation series, we explore Revelation 14 and discover that before final judgment comes, God extends mercy and calls people everywhere to turn to Him. Through the message of the gospel, He invites us to remain faithful, endure through life's challenges, and place our hope in Jesus, the Lamb who has already conquered sin and death. The promise of Revelation is not simply that judgment is coming, but that one day evil will be defeated, every tear will be wiped away, and God's good creation will be fully restored.Questions for Reflection:• How does seeing God's judgment as an expression of His love and justice change the way you think about His character?• Where is God calling you to endure faithfully, trusting that evil doesn't get the last word?
