Hosted by Marco Pimentel. Reported by Jackie Snow, Catherine Baab-Muguira, and Joseph Zeballos-Roig. New episodes releasing weekly starting September 15.
About The Capitalist Hippie:
Capitalist…Hippie. Two words that weren’t meant to mix. One worships growth, disruption, and bottom lines. The other? Earth, equity, and a future worth believing in. For decades, they stood in opposition.
Not anymore. What was once radical—decarbonization, plant-based proteins, climate-focused investing—is now the biggest economic opportunity of our time. The Capitalist Hippie is a podcast for changemakers rewriting the rules of business. Not as rebellion, but as strategy. Because the world needs founders who push for more. Not just profit, but purpose. Not just scale, but systems change.
Hosted by entrepreneur and marketing expert Marco Pimentel, this show gives you the bold ideas, market trends, and go-to-market playbooks proving that sustainability is the future of business. The counterculture is now the blueprint.
So… are you building what’s next, or clinging to what’s broken?
