Episode notes

I love the story of Aravind Eye Hospital. If you go to Aravind for corneal surgery, you have two choices: It's $130 or zero. You are more likely to get an infection in London getting $5,000 Corneal surgery than you are at Aravind because their standards don't stop. So here's this institution that taught the West how to restore eyesight. What I'm saying is the purpose of culture is not to enable capitalism. The purpose of capitalism is to enable culture. That we have this chance by raising our standards and making big promises to change the people we serve.

We want to hear from YOU! Take our survey.

Beyond money, what truly matters is meaning and purpose - feeling like your work and life make a difference. Studies show significance is key to satisfaction.

Yet workplaces often keep us from these feelings. Seth Godin explores how to transform work into a source of fulfillment and purpose.

Seth has inspired many through his insights on work culture, leadership and spreading ideas. His latest book, The Song of Significance serves as a manifesto for creating a more human-centric workplace.

We discuss:

Embracing change as the new normal
Reimagining the workplace to enroll, empower and trust everyone
How the past few years have trained us to embrace change
The importance of taking responsibility for meaningful work
Rediscovering the value of human connection at work

This is a must-listen for anyone seeking a more purpose-driven approach to work. Seth's book can help transform workplaces and create an environment where everyone can do their best work.
