In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty explores the fascinating world of animal communication, intuition, and healing practices with guest Anne Angelo Webb. Anne, an animal communicator, licensed clinical social worker, hypnotherapist, and host of the Animal Intuitive Channel, shares how animals are not only companions but also mirrors, teachers, and guides on our healing journey. From children's natural ability to connect with animals to the integration of hypnosis and brainspotting for personal growth, Anne explains how tapping into our intuitive capacity can bring emotional clarity, self-regulation, and resilience. This episode bridges ancient wisdom with modern practices, offering practical insights for anyone curious about intuition, healing, or connecting more deeply with the natural world. About the Guest  : Anne Angelo Webb is an animal communicator, licensed clinical social worker, hypnotherapist, and author of Meesha's Heart Adventure: Emotional Regulation While Learning How Animals Think and Feel. She also runs the Animal Intuitive Academy and hosts the Animal Intuitive Channel on YouTube. Through her work, Anne helps individuals reconnect with intuition, strengthen their bond with animals, and use tools like hypnosis and brainspotting to overcome emotional and mental blocks. Key Takeaways  : Children often connect with animals naturally, but culture and conditioning can make adults forget this ability. Animal communication is a form of interspecies telepathy involving intuitive senses—emotional, physical, sensory, or visual impressions. Intuition isn't something to “learn,” but rather to remember and reclaim. Hypnosis helps bypass mental blocks, rewire patterns, and support people in reaching goals—from communicating with animals to personal healing. Practices like meditation, prayer, and grounding exercises strengthen intuitive communication with animals. Ethical practice is vital—animal communicators should work in partnership with veterinarians, trainers, and holistic practitioners. Anne emphasizes blending intuition with grounded approaches, making it safe for skeptics and seekers alike. Her children's book teaches kids emotional regulation while preserving their intuitive connection with animals, with 50% of proceeds supporting the Warrior Dog Foundation.

AI, or Artificial Intelligence, continues to be in the news as it continues to grow more potent and more prominent. Both secular and religious corners of society are rightly focusing attention on the ethical, moral, and practical concerns for AI. Answering whether it is good, or bad, or a little of both, is something everyone should be considering.

All the money in the world can't buy peace of mind. Family life, with its jealousies and rivalries, carries the same pressures no matter the size of the bank account—but when wealth is measured in millions, those pressures can twist into something far darker. Arguments over favoritism, inheritance, and control—the kind of disputes most families recognize in small ways—become battles with stakes that can determine the course of lives. And when greed collides with resentment, and morality is already thin on the ground, the results can be catastrophic. This week's story is about what happens when the bonds of family are tested not by love, but by money. Sources:Shana Alexander, “Nutcracker.

“Use AI to augment people, not replace them.” “Windshield time is 30% of a tech's day—let's turn it into sales prep.” “Proposals should translate specs into homeowner value—comfort, savings, and choices.” In this episode, recorded live from the NCI Summit 2025 in Round Rock, TX, Bill and Eric sit down with Winston Chi, co-founder of NOSO Labs, to explore how AI can augment (not replace) HVAC technicians. Winston shares his path from a Google-backed, AI-driven startup in food wholesale to building tools for the trades, inspired by ride-alongs and family ties to hands-on work. His core thesis: most techs aren't well trained in sales or structured communication, yet that's precisely what turns field data into homeowner decisions. The goal is to streamline processes and eliminate friction, allowing techs to communicate clearly, follow up reliably, and close deals ethically. NOSO's mobile-first app tackles three pain points:  (1) windshield time becomes prep time via short audio job briefs (history, likely issues, “don't forget the maintenance plan” cues);  (2) on-site conversations (or quick self-notes) are recorded and auto-structured into clear summaries and proposals—with visuals instead of math walls—plus rebate and tax credit logic that stays current as programs change; and  (3) follow-ups are auto-scheduled and teed up as texts or calls so opportunities don't leak.  A service manager dashboard displays follow-up activity, and there are native integrations (e.g., ServiceTitan and Housecall Pro).  Winston also previews their massive manuals brain—~15 million HVAC/water-heater manuals searchable by photo/nameplate—so techs can look up specs fast. Early users span from San Diego to New Jersey; NOSO offers a short trial, then annual contracts.

There are two strategies men deploy when they're dating, but insecure. Either they try the “Nice Guy” approach or its opposite, the pickup artist approach.  But even though these strategies are polar opposites, they suffer the same moral flaw of concealment. Whenever you put on a mask over yourself, you sever the possibility of authentic connection.  The solution? Ethical seduction based on radical transparency. This way sounds harder because it is: It requires you to be honest with yourself and the person you're attracting. It's also scarier because you face the real risk of rejection.  But you know what? It's the only moral way to find your life partner. Plus, it's not just about being honest to your partner, but also being honest with yourself - the first step towards designing a deeply fulfilling life.  In today's show, you'll discover the moral case for ethical seduction, why concealment kills connection, and a few simple ways to incorporate more ethical seduction in your love life and even your career (with real life examples you can try).  Listen now. Show Highlights Include: How being radically transparent in dating is like a cheat code for attraction, connection, and self-integration (and why most guys shy away from it) (0:30) Why the “Nice Guy” approach to dating backfires and ends in humiliation (and how to get the women you want without putting a mask on your personality) (2:14)  The moral flaw both the nice guy who can't get a date and the pickup artist who can't create a secure relationship commit (4:34)  The almost-too-simple (but effective) “Ethical Seduction” strategy for landing a date with someone you just met (5:52)  Try these 2 transparent openers on attractive women you want to genuinely connect with (they're far more effective and honest than the nice guy routine or following a pickup artist script) (6:27)  How owning your insecurity instead of hiding it instantly boosts your attractiveness (7:45)  The counterintuitive way polarization is the quickest way to find your life partner (15:16)  A silly, but true example from an old 80s sitcom about how transparency erases anxiety and unlocks the possibility for true, authentic connection (22:20) How radical transparency in leadership motivates and inspires your team (even when you're faced with insurmountable challenges) (28:57)  For more about David Tian, go here: https://www.davidtianphd.com/about/  Feeling like success in one area of life has come at the expense of another?

Our guest in this episode is Patrick van der Burght, one of the world's leading experts in the science of ethical persuasion. After a challenging start as a sales rep for a product with a terrible reputation, Patrick discovered the powerful work of Dr. Robert Cialdini, using its principles to turn that product into a market leader. He now dedicates his work to teaching business owners a proven framework for building stronger connections and achieving their most important outcomes with complete integrity.In our fascinating chat, we explored the science of human decision-making and the critical difference between honest influence and dishonest manipulation. Key points discussed include:* Ethical persuasion builds long-term success; manipulation is a short-term win that ultimately leads to disaster.* True influence comes from highlighting genuine facts, not inventing falsehoods to create artificial pressure.* Understanding the seven universal principles of persuasion helps you build genuine trust and guide decisions ethically.Listen to the podcast to find out more.Innovabiz Substack is a reader-supported publication.

As business owners, we pour so much of ourselves into our work, yet often feel like we're guessing when it comes to getting the cooperation and compliance we need to succeed. Patrick pulled back the curtain on this exact challenge, revealing that influence isn't an art form reserved for a select few; it's a science that any of us can learn to apply, ethically and effectively.Our conversation illuminated a powerful truth: you can significantly increase the number of "yeses" you receive without twisting arms or compromising your integrity. It's about understanding the psychology of human decision-making and learning how to formulate your requests in a way that makes it easier for people to agree. Patrick's passion for this topic is infectious, born from a deep-seated compassion for hardworking entrepreneurs who are leaving success on the table simply because they don't yet know this proven framework.The Dry Suit Epiphany: From Being Laughed At to Market LeaderI was fascinated by Patrick's own origin story in persuasion science. As a young sales rep in the scuba diving industry, he took on a brand of dry suits that had a disastrous reputation; the year before, they had all leaked. When he presented the new, improved product to his retailers, they literally laughed at him. He had a great product, but a total lack of trust in the market. It was a classic business nightmare.Facing this challenge, he dove into the work of Dr. Robert Cialdini and began applying the universal principles of persuasion. By strategically and ethically bringing the right facts to the surface, he was able to rebuild trust and reframe the conversation. The result? In just 18 months, that once-mocked dry suit became the market leader. That experience converted Patrick for life, proving that this science had the power to turn even the most difficult situations around.Walking the Ethical Tightrope: Persuasion vs. ManipulationPatrick was crystal clear on a point that I know concerns many of us: the fine line between ethical persuasion and outright manipulation. He offered a brilliant litmus test. Unethical persuasion, like the shoe salesperson lying about having the "last pair," involves importing falsehoods into a situation to pressure a decision. It might create a short-term win, but it inevitably leads to long-term disaster once the deceit is discovered.Ethical persuasion, on the other hand, is about bringing naturally occurring truths to the surface. If the TV you want truly is the last one in stock, you as the customer want to be told that information to make an informed choice. The key is honesty. Ethical influence is not about creating false scarcity or pressure; it's about highlighting genuine facts that help someone make a better, easier decision that serves their own interests.The Three 'Cancers' of Unethical InfluenceGoing a step further, Patrick shared the devastating long-term costs of fostering a dishonest culture, which he powerfully described as "three cancers." The first is the stress it places on employees, most of whom dislike being asked to lie, leading to more sick days. The second is a much higher staff turnover, as good people will seek employment elsewhere, creating a huge cost in hiring and training.The third cancer is perhaps the most insidious: the only people who don't mind being unethical are, well, unethical people. These are not the employees you want, as their dishonesty won't be limited to your customers; it will extend to side deals and stealing office supplies. Patrick's point is stark and clear: a business built on deceit will ultimately rot from the inside out.A Quick Tour of the Seven Universal Principles of InfluenceAt the heart of Patrick's work are the seven universal principles that work across all cultures: Reciprocity (we feel obliged to give back), Liking (we say yes to people we like), and the new principle of Unity (we are influenced by those we share an identity with). These first three are all about building relationships.The next principles help reduce uncertainty: Social Proof (we follow the lead of similar others) and Authority (we defer to experts). Finally, to motivate action, we have Consistency (we stick with our commitments) and Scarcity (we want more of what we can have less of). Understanding these fundamental drivers is the first step to applying them.Turning a Bad Review into a Trust-Building MomentSo how does this work in the real world? Patrick gave a masterful example of handling a negative online review. The wrong move is to ignore it or get defensive. Instead, you can respond by first acknowledging the person's bad experience. This simple act of honesty immediately establishes you as a trustworthy source of information because you're acting against your own immediate self-interest.Then, you can gently pivot to social proof by saying something like, "As you can see from our 128 other positive reviews, your experience is not what normally happens here." This validates the complaint while reassuring any future customers that the issue was an exception, not the rule. It's a brilliant way to turn a negative into a powerful display of credibility.Your First Step into the Science of InfluenceUltimately, what I took away from my chat with Patrick is that we don't have to operate on guesswork. Whether we're in sales, marketing, HR, or even just trying to get our kids to do their homework, we are constantly in situations where we need to be persuasive. There is a science to it, one that is ethical, available, and incredibly potent.As Patrick advised, the easiest first step for anyone is to simply become aware that this science exists. A great way to start is by picking up Dr. Cialdini's foundational book, Influence. By learning the principles, you can start to spot opportunities to ethically and effectively build stronger connections and achieve the outcomes you're working so hard for.In Summary: Patrick van der Burght provides a compelling and ethical framework for influence. His message is a game-changer: stop guessing and start learning the science of human decision-making. By applying these proven principles with honesty and integrity, you can not only achieve greater success but also build deeper, more trusting, and more enduring relationships in every area of your life.ActionRealize there is a science to how people make decisions that is available for you to learn. As a first practical step, follow Patrick's recommendation and get Dr. Cialdini's foundational book, Influence, to begin understanding these powerful principles.Reach OutYou can reach out and thank Patrick on his website, or connect with him on LinkedIn.

There's a fantastic juxtaposition between his adventurous, hands-on life as a commercial pilot, scuba diver, and Harley rider, and the old-school, analogue way he discovered his passion: listening to Dr. Cialdini's work on cassette tapes in the late 90s.* He had the courage to cold-email his hero. After being inspired by the tapes, he didn't just become a fan; he took the initiative to email Dr. Cialdini directly for permission to teach the material. That single act of proactive courage fundamentally shaped his professional journey.* His Harley adventures are a shared passion. The image of a Harley rider often evokes a solo journey, but Patrick's spouse also enjoys riding, making it a shared activity. This adds a wonderful layer of warmth and partnership to his adventurous side.* He's on a mission to equip the next generation with a "crucial life skill." His strong desire isn't just to coach professionals, but to teach ethical persuasion to young people in schools, preparing them for a future where social influence is a top-ranked skill needed for success.Ready to move beyond just creating content and start creating real connection?In the Age of AI, the future belongs to those who can amplify human wisdom.

On this episode of Mongabay's weekly podcast, we look at nature through the lens of wildlife photographer and senior marketing associate at Mongabay, Alejandro Prescott-Cornejo, the multilingual staffer charged with sharing the team's reporting and mission with the world. Prescott-Cornejo details how his work with Mongabay intersects with his passion for wildlife photography, what makes a good photo, and how anyone can connect with nature by getting to know their own “local patch.” “There are so many beautiful things, whether big or small, that can be very, very close to you — and you don't need to go photograph the biggest animals, just photograph what's close,” he says. His photography — along with images created by three of his colleagues, including Mongabay founder and CEO Rhett A. Butler — is currently on display at an exhibition at the Linden Street Gallery near Boston. The show's theme of “Biophilia,” which celebrates humanity's love for nature, also refers to Mongabay's recent receipt of the Biophilia Award for Environmental Communication, and is on view until Nov. 4, 2025. Readers and podcast listeners are invited to showcase their own wildlife photography by entering Mongabay's “Wildlife Wonders” photo contest: starting on Oct. 1, just post your best wildlife image at Instagram and tag it with #MongabayWildlifeWonders and @mongabay in the description for a chance to be featured. The contest will accept entries until Oct. 22. Find the Mongabay Newscast wherever you listen to podcasts, from Apple to Spotify. All past episodes are also listed here at the Mongabay website.

During the summer break, the 15-Minute History podcast team are republishing some of their favorite episodes. This episode originally aired on May 5, 2025.Season 9 begins Monday, October 7!___It was still dark. The group of men felt the breeze getting warmer as the eastern horizon began to show signs of light. One of the men, tall with no expression, watched as final preparations were made to a large object in front of the group. The others saw the anxiety in his face in a way that only those had had been around him could discern. The man walked forward, spoke with some of the technicians, and watched them haul it away. It was going to a tower, visible in the distance. Conversations around him continued, but only because it seemed like they had to. Somehow, the silence would have been louder. Not long after, notifications came from the tower; an all clear was given. At 5:29 a.m., a flash of light that was so brilliant it could be seen from 200 miles away blossomed in the desert. The mushroom cloud rose 40,000 feet into the air, and the shock wave was felt 100 miles from ground zero. The man who all that morning had worn no expression, would later recall remembering a Hindu scripture in that moment: "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."Another man who witnessed the test described the overwhelming impression it left: "A new thing had just been born; a new control; a new understanding of man, which man had acquired over nature." Another observer said, "The lighting effects beggared description. The whole country was lighted by a searing light with the intensity many times that of the midday sun."Humanity had crossed a threshold.___Join us as we show you the Manhattan Project, the reason behind the development of nuclear weapons, and the ethical implications of such an invention.

Jewish Voice for Peace, alongside coalition partners, is calling on Alameda County to ensure  tax dollars aren't  invested in entities complicit in human rights abuses — including Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza. This past May, the County's Treasury Oversight Committee took a key step by passing an ethical investment policy that bans taxpayer money from going to corporations and institutions that enable such atrocities. Now, the final decision rests with the Board of Supervisors, who must vote to approve the policy. On today's episode, we speak with Cynthia Kaufman, an organizer with Jewish Voice for Peace.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Patrick van der Burght, persuasion expert and founding member of the Cialdini Institute, to explore the science of ethical influence. From workplace negotiations to everyday decision-making, persuasion plays a vital role in our lives—but it doesn't have to rely on manipulation. Patrick shares practical insights on the 7 universal principles of persuasion, how to spot when influence crosses into unethical territory, and why understanding human decision-making is crucial in today's distraction-filled world. This conversation offers listeners a clear framework to use persuasion responsibly while reducing stress, building stronger relationships, and creating long-term success. About the Guest  : Patrick van der Burght is an international keynote speaker, trainer, and persuasion strategist. As a business partner of Dr. Robert Cialdini—the world-renowned author of Influence—Patrick has been teaching ethical persuasion since 2000. He is the author of How to Hear YES More Often and leads workshops and programs worldwide that help professionals communicate with integrity, avoid manipulative tactics, and leverage science-backed persuasion for lasting impact. Key Takeaways:   Persuasion can be used ethically or unethically—science shows unethical tactics deliver only short-term wins but damage trust long-term. The three ethical filter questions: Are you telling the truth? Is the information naturally there (not exaggerated)? Is the request wise for both sides? Seven principles of persuasion—Reciprocity, Liking, Unity, Social Proof, Authority, Consistency, and Scarcity—work across all cultures and contexts. Scarcity is the most misused principle online; knowing how it works protects us from manipulation. Decision-making is mostly subconscious: 95% of decisions are made by System 1 (shortcuts), not System 2 (logic). This makes persuasion science more relevant than ever. Ethical persuasion creates stronger relationships, lowers stress, and builds trust in business and personal life. Products and ideas don't always “speak for themselves.” Without effective communication, uncertainty leads people to decide not to decide.

The Buddha said, "Believe nothing, no matter where you read it or who has said it, even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and common sense." Ignore that advice, and you might find that you're clouding your vision--that instead of seeing what's really in front of you, you're filtering everything so it fits in with your beliefs. An unwavering, unquestioned belief in anything--a philosophy, an institution, or a person--can lend us strength sometimes, but it can also make us vulnerable. And there are plenty of people out there just waiting to exploit that vulnerability. This story is about two of them, each with a very different MO, and the havoc they wreaked in the lives of the people around them.SourcesThe German newspaper BZ (translated from German to English): Blackmail Sect: Now Former Members Speak Out by Romeo Regenass, Nov. 12, 2008Documentary "Seduced and Blackmailed" by Aldo Gugolz and Romeo RegenassTime: https://time.com/archive/6945942/the-swiss-gigolo-and-the-german-billionaire/NBC News: https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna29594154The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/mar/09/bmw-blackmailer-jailedTelegraph: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/italy/5051613/Religious-leader-denies-blackmailing-woman-in-Swiss-gigolo-case.htmlForbes:https://www.forbes.com/2009/03/09/scarbi-klatten-bmw-markets-faces-celebrity-blackmail.htmlThe Standard: https://www.standard.co.uk/hp/front/gigolo-who-seduced-bmw-heiress-boasted-he-read-women-like-a-map-6824827.htmlFollow us, campers!Patreon (join to get all episodes ad-free, at least a day early, an extra episode a month, and a free sticker!): https://patreon.com/TrueCrimeCampfirehttps://www.truecrimecampfirepod.com/Facebook: True Crime CampfireInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/truecrimecampfire/?hl=enTwitter: @TCCampfire https://twitter.com/TCCampfireEmail: truecrimecampfirepod@gmail.comMERCH! https://true-crime-campfire.myspreadshop.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-campfire--4251960/support.

Joe Moore sits down with Greg Shanken (Colorado Psychedelic Society, Collaborence Psychedelic Business Association; founder, Higher Frequency Network) for a wide-ranging conversation about building community infrastructure, navigating censorship, and creating accessible, ethical pathways into psychedelic healing. Greg shares his personal arc from lifelong depression to ayahuasca, ketamine, and Bufo; why he launched a vetted affiliate/partner network for our space; and how Oregon–Colorado collaboration can widen access while honoring reciprocity and conservation. Key themes Collaborence: a two-day CO/OR event (online + in-person) connecting facilitators, professionals, and the public with pay-what-you-can access options. Access & affordability: how to widen entry points (microdosing, breathwork, scholarships/funds) within and beyond regulated service/healing centers. Censorship & platform risk: why repeated Meta account shutdowns pushed Greg to build community-based distribution outside big ad networks. Personal journey: depression, SSRIs/SNRIs/ADHD meds → ayahuasca (two-night initiation), IM ketamine, and later Bufo/5-MeO-DMT. Ethics & ecology: “blood toad,” conservation, and the case for synthetic 5-MeO-DMT over toad-sourced material; parallels with peyote/mescaline carve-outs. Leadership & culture: bringing heart-centered leadership, breathwork, and microdosing into companies; moving from transactional to mutual-aid ecosystems. Regulated vs. underground: costs, insurance realities, sliding-scale models, and the role each plays in a healthy landscape.

In 1633, Galileo Galilei was condemned by the Roman Inquisition for teaching that the Earth revolves around the Sun. His defiance became a symbol of individual conscience against powerful institutions. On this episode of The Chris Spangle Show, we explore the history of individualism versus collectivism — from Socrates to the Stoics, from Christianity and the Reformation to Enlightenment thinkers such as John Locke and John Stuart Mill, and into the American founding. We also explore libertarian principles of ethical individualism, free speech, and personal responsibility, contrasting them with the dangers of conformity, censorship, and control inherent in collectivism.

Welcome to the Fundraising Everywhere Podcast, today, we've got something a little bit different for you.  To celebrate our upcoming Culture and Change Conference coming up on Thursday 20th November, we've decided to hand the mic over to our guest host Rory White in this special series of episodes called 'It Started On The Street'. Rory will be chatting to some brilliant leaders in the charity sector and beyond about their journeys since they started their careers as dialogue fundraisers. "Welcome to this episode, where I'm joined by the brilliant and fascinating Murphy Hopkins Hubbard. Not only does Murphy have one of the most memorable names you'll hear, she also has one of the most interesting career stories — and an inspiring vision for the future. She's the founder of Stamp, a new organisation she launched just a few months ago. Stamp is pioneering a kind of B Corp model for influencers and social media creators — bringing accountability, ethics, and purpose into the online world. Murphy herself has a rich and varied background, and I found her thoughtful, insightful, and genuinely inspiring to talk to. I know you'll enjoy this conversation as much as I did"

Keywords: Communication Theory, Communication Ethics, Rhetorical Theory, Contact, Touch. Ethics in Contact Rhetoric re-orients communication theory by centering touch and de-centering symbolic acts. Ethical interactions are defined as bio-relational dances arcing steps of nurture, respect, justice, and too often, violence. Centering humanity's physical mutuality is a vital move today. This book re-balances rhetorical theory by enabling critique of embodied relational patterns. Critical case studies demonstrate contact rhetoric's rich heuristic and diverse applications.

In this episode, Jess and Dallas discuss the unspoken rules of hunting and how to be an ethical and responsible hunter.

BT and Sal's weekly "Three Random Questions" (3RQ) segment was packed with heated debate, focusing on three diverse topics. The discussion first ignited over the appropriate reaction if you were Devonta Smith and saw a security guard aggressively checking out your girlfriend on the sidelines, leading to a debate on common courtesy and "game" when catching a quick glance. Next, the hosts tackled survivor pool strategy: if you have multiple entries, should you pick the same team or different teams, with Sal advocating for riding one strong pick and BT preferring to increase his odds. Finally, they pondered the surreal question: which celebrity would you want to attend your wake, which quickly devolved into a comedic back-and-forth about Boomer, Gio, and the dream of having Adam Sandler or Margot Robbie show up.

Send me a messageIn this episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast, I sit down with Tara Milburn, founder and CEO of Ethical Swag, a certified B Corp reshaping the promotional products industry. Too often, branded merchandise ends up as waste or is produced under questionable conditions. Tara and her team are proving there's a better way, where every procurement choice can align with values, improve transparency, and create measurable impact.We discuss how Ethical Swag was built on the principle that business can be a force for good, even in a sector not known for sustainability. Tara explains why greenwashing remains a challenge, how third-party audits are essential for supplier verification, and why embedding sustainability across all departments, much like digital transformation, creates lasting change. She also shares practical strategies for procurement teams, such as offering “good, better, best” options that balance budgets with environmental and social impact.One of the most striking parts of our conversation was the reminder that products with your logo should reflect your brand values, because when those items end up in landfill, so does your reputation. Tara shows how companies can move beyond token gestures to meaningful storytelling, from seed paper giveaways linked to the UN Sustainable Development Goals to impact reporting that makes sustainability visible.If you're a supply chain leader looking to reduce waste, build brand trust, and rethink procurement as a driver of sustainability, you'll find this episode full of insights and inspiration.Elevate your brand with the ‘Sustainable Supply Chain' podcast, the voice of supply chain sustainability.Last year, this podcast's episodes were downloaded over 113,000 times by senior supply chain executives around the world.Become a sponsor.
