Shawn Askinosie is the founder of Askinosie Chocolate, an international company based in Springfield Missouri.
We chose this conversation with Shawn because it captures why Citizen Inc. exists. Shawn’s been on his own corporate citizenship journey for 15 years - since starting Askinosie Chocolate after a life-changing transition from a successful career as a high profile criminal defense lawyer.
There are some moments where you can hear those familiar courtroom arguments coming through - and it’s clearly driven by passion. He opens up to let us see the soul of his company.
