Ryan Honeyman

About

Ryan Honeyman is a Partner and Worker-Owner at LIFT Economy and co-author of "The B Corp Handbook" and "The Next Economy MBA," both published by Berrett-Koehler. For more than 15 years, Ryan has helped over 100 companies—including Patagonia, Allbirds, Ben & Jerry’s, and Thrive Market—become Certified B Corporations, recertify under evolving standards, and use certification as a catalyst for deeper organizational change. In recent years, his work has expanded beyond standards and strategy into leadership embodiment and culture. Ryan works in long-term advisory and coaching relationships with founders, CEOs, and leadership teams to address the gap between stated values and lived behavior, helping leaders build organizations where governance, decision-making, and culture actually reflect their social and environmental commitments. Ryan is the co-host of Beyond the B, a podcast exploring what is working and not working in the B Corp movement, and a co-host of Next Economy Now, a LIFT podcast highlighting leaders advancing regenerative and whole-systems approaches to business.
