Dal LaMagna is a famous business success but that is only half the story. After leaving Harvard Business School he started Tweezerman with just $500. He made, you guessed it, tweezers. He did more than make it a winning business. He gave a 1/5 of the company to his employees and made the enterprise a flagship of the B-Corporation movement.

When he sold the company in 2005 for $57 million, his employees took home $12 million. He wrote a book called “Raising Eyebrows” about this winning combination of doing good while doing well. Dal’s passion for social justice and peace, led him to invest in storytellers who made films about the folly of the Iraq War. He was Executive Producer on several films about the war. He also helped document the remarkable friendship of Timothy Leary and Ram Das in “Dying to Know”. He executive produced a movie about the research into the health benefits of kindness called “The Last Dalai Lama?”.

Dal used his company and the movies as tools to change the world for the better. He also fought for progress the old fashioned way – he ran for office. Dal LaMagna was a candidate for Congress in 1996, 2000, and 2018 and for President in 2008. His message never wavered: dignity for workers, equal justice for all Americans, and a foreign policy of leading with an example of respect for one another. Dal was the first investor in IceStone in 2003 and took over management in 2012. Today he is the Chairman and Co-managing Partner and has continued to infuse IceStone with the idea that success should be measured by the quality of our products, the care with which we treat the earth and the love we show for our employees and our customers.
