In this episode, we’re diving headfirst into some of the most pressing and controversial issues facing modern businesses. Join us as we tackle five major changes that must happen to create a more sustainable, equitable, and accountable corporate world.

We’ll explore:
1️⃣ The Problem with Shareholder Supremacy – How a 50-year-old doctrine shifted corporate priorities and why it’s failing society today.
2️⃣ Runaway Executive Compensation – Why CEOs earn 900-1400% more than they did in the 1970s and how this creates toxic, short-term decision-making.
3️⃣ Corporate Accountability – From the 2008 financial collapse to scandals like 3M’s "forever chemicals," why companies must face real consequences for harmful actions.
4️⃣ The Myth of Industry Self-Regulation – How loopholes, conflicts of interest, and shady practices put profits over public safety.
5️⃣ Killing the Perpetual Growth Mentality – Why Wall Street’s obsession with endless growth is unsustainable and damages businesses, employees, and consumers alike.

With examples ranging from the 2008 financial crisis to the opioid epidemic and even corporate food practices, we’re pulling no punches in exposing how these systemic issues hurt workers, consumers, and society as a whole.

This is not just about identifying problems—it’s about starting conversations and exploring real solutions. Whether you’re a business leader, an aspiring entrepreneur, or just curious about what’s happening behind the corporate curtain, this episode is for you.
