Business as an unstoppable force for good: From AEI’s Values & Capitalism initiative

A new documentary from AEI’s Values & Capitalism initiative — entitled To Whom Is Given: Business for the Common Good—tells the stories of three businesses and their Christian owners who who are living out their faith commitments through the “ordinary” work of small business. In unique ways, these companies are transforming their communities by providing meaningful employment, giving back, and simply doing business well.

One of the companies featured in the film is the Weifield Group, an electrical contracting company based in Denver, CO. Under the leadership of Seth Anderson and Karla Nugent, Weifield is providing high-quality services and changing lives by giving former addicts and convicts a second chance through a pre-apprenticeship program.

Watch their story here, but in the meantime, I did a Q&A with Karla about her career, Weifield’s work, how she sees business as an outlet for large scale change, and how her faith drives her participation in the marketplace.  Read a lightly edited version below.
