We are facing a tragedy of the commons — and have been for a while. At worst, businesses are taking advantage of the planet and society and aren't holding themselves fully responsible for the damage they are doing. When companies release excessive carbon into the air or keep wages low, the resulting environmental damage and societal burdens are paid for by the average citizen and the taxpayer. Christopher Marquis explores this reality in his new book, The Profiteers. He explains the systemic issues underlying today's most pressing global challenges, from climate change to inequality, shedding light on the ways in which businesses privatize gains while socializing costs. But at the heart of Marquis's work lies a call to action for leaders across sectors to embrace a new vision of business. The Profiteers serves not only as a wake-up call to the inherent flaws of our current system but provides a roadmap for a more sustainable and equitable future. We invited Christopher Marquis, Cambridge University professor and author of other books (including Mao and Markets: The Communist Roots of Chinese Enterprise and Better Business: How the B Corp Movement Is Remaking Capitalism), to discuss how The Profiteers exposes the hidden toll of environmental damage, low wages, and systemic discrimination, calling for a paradigm shift in business practices.

For business leaders, it's important to keep an eye on productivity and happiness. Think of productivity as the engine of your business—it's what keeps things moving forward and the doors open. But, you can't forget about happiness. It's like the oil that keeps that engine running smooth. Happy workers mean less drama, more awesome ideas, and folks actually wanting to stick around. Plus, they're less likely to call in sick or bail on you when the going gets tough. When you get the balance right, everyone's winning—you're hitting those targets, and your team is wired for success.In this episode, we meet Eran Mizrahan. Eran started his business in 2021. Eran Mizrahan is the Co-founder of Ingredient Brothers. They make the ingredient search and procurement process easier for customers. He's built this global team where both happiness and productivity go hand in hand.In this episode, you will hear Eran's experience related to: Intentional culture-buildingWhat value-based hiring looks like for himEarly recruitment of top-level people for early-stage businessesHow to overcome remote work challengesThe importance of face-to-face interactions for team unity

Sometimes it's nice to just have a space to “exist” – to laugh and let go and feel light. I've mentioned third places in other episodes, and today, I dive deep into this concept – what they are, their decline, and ideas for bringing them back.The “third place” was coined by sociologist Ray Oldenburg and refers to the place people spend their time after their “first place” (home) and their “second place” (work). They're meant to be community hubs – places where people can exchange ideas, build relationships, and have a good time.Here, I talk about the history of the third place and their decline in the past half century. So if you're out there feeling like a bad friend for not calling people back or because you don't know your neighbors, give yourself some grace – it's a little more difficult than it once was.I'm a total nerd about this topic, and this will be the first in many episodes talking about third places, from the laws and policy decisions that affect them, to how they might look in the future.In this episode you'll hear about:What a third places is by Oldenburg's definition and examples – libraries, parks, museums, social services, low-cost businessesHow third places cultivate a sense of belonging and trust – plus, the populations that especially benefit from them: teens, the elderly, and people with disabilitiesThe history of third places, from the 1800s through post World War II and the “American Dream” – plus, third place “replacements,” i.e., places where you pay to gain entryHow some modern day third places are more focused on self than the community (for example, getting in better shape, leaning into your hobby, etc.)Ideas to bring third places back, from using a third place (going to the park, the library, or the neighborhood cafe) to following people who are talking about thisResources & LinksLike what you hear?
