The Conscious Capitalists

Restoring trust in capitalism requires us to think differently about how we do business. About how we invest. About how we make decisions, as consumers, as workers, as community members. It invites new ways to talk about, measure, and incentivize business behavior. It demands that we do a better job of aligning how companies, and investors, define success. Join Just Capital CEO Martin Whitaker as we discuss the research and programs they are developing on the future of stakeholder capitalism. *** If you enjoy this podcast, would you consider rating and leaving us a review?
