Finding the purpose beyond the profit in Atlanta

Description
Proving that heart plays a vital role in any story of success is the stylish Sole Play in Atlanta, a sneaker shop that is so much more than a sneaker shop. During a visit to the South’s cultural capital, Sole Play owner and entrepreneur Anthony “T.J.” Bennett gives Janet a tour of the shop’s iconic sneaker vault and explains how his business and its non-profit arm the Sole Circle Foundation combines fashion, gaming, and mental health into an unparalleled shopping experience. At Sole Play, an underserved community has a home. And so do weary travelers in need of a fresh look. Offsite Adventures is a Masters of Scale Production presented in alliance with Capital One Business. Special thanks to T.J. Bennett of Sole Play and Jakita Owensby Thomas and Erich Thomas of Pharoah’s Conclave. See this story come to life in our video series on YouTube.
