So you want to build a company that is "conscious", a social enterprise, or B-Corp... or... something in that direction. But, what does that actually mean? How do you structure your company? What are the priority practices for leading with purpose? Perhaps you've seen a few companies start out with a lot of heart to later become corporate machines. Can you keep consciousness in capitalism as a business scales? Using Game Theory as a guide, Andrew Hewitt, Founder of GameChangers 500, will share how we transition from win-lose to win-win dynamics in business, why it is critical for the survival of our species, and a no-bullshit approach on what it takes to build a business model where everyone wins. Show notes: 6m What do you mean by changing the game? 9m How do you do business so that’s truly a win-win? 12m How you would design a model of business to play the infinite game, to grow and stay in an omni-considerate win-win dynamic 14m What are some things people can implement right away? 15m Making a commitment to a cause. 19m * What are indicators of game changing? Links: Otto Scharmer and Schmactenberger 24m How to prioritize incentives. 26m An example of an incentive that works really well for win-win 29m The reasons to share IP. 32m Competitive examples: Apple vs Microsoft 33m Thought experiment: how can you refocus your strategy? 34m The concept of ownership 35m Asymmetrical dynamics 38m * Sense-making, governance and big shifts 40m Zappos as a case study 45m * Coherence on an organizational and individual level 49m Cafe Gratitude and business as a path to awakening 50m Education systems based on healing 52m* How do we create an environment where transformation, growth, and evolution are values we hold? 53m* When we are playing the game of business, are we building our empathy muscles? 57m Deep listening: what age am I showing up as right now? 59m How can we show up for ourselves and for each other? If you feel a call to change the game, continue to ask deeper questions… 60m Game changing versus changing the game 63m* Questions to ask yourself regularly: - Is this action completely in service to best serve life? - Why are we doing what we are doing?

Marc Angelo Coppola CEO and Founder, Superhero Academy Philanthropreneur If you ask people who have worked with Marc Angelo what he does, the answers will vary from innovative entrepreneur to farmer of organic goods on Valhalla's 60 acres of land. However, if you ask those same people who Marc Angelo is, the answers will all sound the same: he is a passionate and unrelenting human being. Defining success in unconventional measures, he has earned a living by applying the skills of entrepreneurship and marketing for a cause. His thirst for exploring and the pursuit of new ideas and ways to growing the sustainability movement into a mainstream lifestyle is unquenchable. This drive has led him to what he refers to as “Superhero engineering”, aka teaching people through the art of mentorship. He has been a key speaker at events such as Archangel Academy, Catalyst Creative, PaleoFX and Hatch on topics ranging from sustainability to social engineering. If Marc had his way, he would share his experiences with everyone in hopes that he could take his listeners on the same amazing journey. Inspire to create and empower to execute is the only fitting mantra for a man who is motivated by a better tomorrow.
