  • Check out an old episode from our vault with Charles Conn, who spoke at the CEO Summit (October 22-24) in Austin, Texas.

    This week join the chairperson of Patagonia, Charles Conn, as we discuss the change in ownership at Patagonia- a company now responsible to the planet! Charles says “We (Patagonia) think companies should stand for something. And we're not afraid to say that we don't think companies should be neutral creators of profit that distribute that profit to shareholders”. Now the Board and executives at Patagonia need to ask explicitly, how is this good for the planet! Hear Charles talk about his views on the need for long-term thinking and how we need to look at the 'full cost' of the products we consume- what is the actual footprint of our consumption? As conscious consumers, we need to focus on owning fewer things but better things- Patagonia strives to make the best raincoat- and make it to last and be reused and recycled too!

  • Check out an old episode from our vault with Pete Stravos, who will be speaking at the CEO Summit (October 22-24) in Austin, Texas. Click here to register and learn more about it.

    Pete Stravos at KKR is leading the way in driving outstanding returns through a focus on employee ownership and building great cultures. Simple formula- challenging to implement! Drive engagement and align incentives for success--- make front line workers care about the outcome and give them life changing opportunities to build financial wealth. The opportunity is huge! Only 20% of employees are actively engaged at work, the average turnover rate in the US is 40 % per year, and the Treasury Department estimates 70% of American workers are financially illiterate. Into this world comes Stravos with a plan to address these ills and make great returns for his investors. As he says, hard core capitalist love this because of the returns- they don’t have to buy into the philosophy. But those that understand the benefits of doing business this way love it!

    Peter summarizes, “We will exit 8-10 straight 3x deals, which I think in the history of private equity has never been done. I don't think any industry vertical at any firm ever will say, you know, 10, straight triples! And so I think it's going to be hard for people to say that this is hurting investors, that its’ doing anything other than driving great returns.

  • Have you ever thought about how you can solve the world's problems with your ideas? Dr. Jay Jakub believes that businesses can better position itself to solve the bigger problem; whether it be social, or environmental.

    He recounts the origins of the Economics of Mutuality (EOM) from his time as Senior Director for External Research at Mars, Inc., and how he learned first-hand that businesses can shift from profit-centric models to purpose-driven practices that leverage social, human, and natural capitals.

    Join us as we explore the evolving landscape of stakeholder vs. shareholder capitalism, the challenges and opportunities of artificial intelligence (AI) and the vital role of business schools in fostering a broader, purpose-driven curriculum to drive folks to embrace a more conscious approach to business.

  • Profit is essential for business, but what happens when it comes at the expense of society?

    Join us as we dive into this pressing issue with Chris Marquis, author of "The Profiteers: How Business Privatizes Profit and Socializes Costs." Marquis unpacks how companies often "socialize their costs" through harmful side effects and externalities, leaving society to pick up the tab.

    We explore the dark side of corporate profit-making, with the opioid crisis and Purdue Pharma serving as prime examples of how businesses can hide their negative impacts. Imagine a car's exhaust pipe feeding directly into the passenger compartment—that's the stark reality of pollution externalities affecting everyone, not just the polluters.

    But instead of pointing fingers, Marquis advocates for a transformation of our systems and markets. He emphasizes the need to evolve our practices to account for the true and total costs of doing business while preserving the best aspects of our market-based capitalist system.

    Tune in to discover how current business models contribute to environmental degradation, plastic pollution, biodiversity loss, and extreme social inequality, and why these practices are unsustainable in the long run. With Chris Marquis, we explore innovative ways to capture conscious businesses' true costs and profits, ensuring that profit remains beneficial and ethical.

  • Creating an inspiring company selling blankets? You bet!

    Bob Dalton, the CEO of Sackcloth and Ashes, embarked on a mission with a unique one-to-one business model: for every blanket sold, another is donated to a homeless shelter. His passion and creativity lead to innovative production methods, collaboration with Indigenous designers, and active engagement with grassroots movements across the country.

    One of his innovations is rethinking packaging - using it to inspire local grassroots connections and pay it forward by reusing the blanket boxes to donate items to homeless shelters.

    Inspiring and creative, Bob Dalton is an out-of-the-box entrepreneur. He will also be a speaker at The Conscious Capitalism CEO summit in October 2024.

  • This interview cuts straight to the heart of self-compassion, revealing it as not just a personal virtue but a critical life skill as we have a profound dialogue with Kristin Neff, a pioneering figure in compassion research. Kristin shatters the notion that self-compassion is a luxury, framing it instead as a necessity for anyone striving to thrive in the throes of life's challenges. She presents compelling evidence from her studies, including one that revolutionizes our understanding of how self-compassion can significantly elevate athletic performance, challenging the stoic, grit-your-teeth dogma that pervades our culture.

  • Join us for a frank discussion on ESG, climate investing, and the need for government policy through taxes and subsidies to push companies into doing the right thing for the climate crisis. As our guest Ken Pucker, former COO of Timberland, says, ESG has no impact on saving the planet. Ken talks about the challenges for all of us in understanding when and where real Capital is invested in impacting climate change. Ken argues that better accounting on externalities alone is not enough. We need to price externalities to drive real behaviour change. Hence, the role of government policy is to play a role with taxation and subsidies to reward good behaviour and punish bad. A Podcast by Tec Sounds.
