What happens when you combine trust, tech, and a deep commitment to doing business the right way? You get Curtis Hite, CEO and Chairman of Improving, a software consulting company that's turning heads—not just for their tech chops, but for how they treat people.In this episode of The Conscious Capitalists, Timothy Henry and Raj Sisodia chat with Curtis about his inspiring journey from the high-stakes world of Enron to becoming a champion of Conscious Capitalism. He shares how a few key moments—including a powerful Speed of Trust event and attending the Conscious Capitalism CEO Summit—changed the way he leads and lives.Curtis gets real about the need to change the game in tech, especially when it comes to creating more space for Hispanic, Black, and female professionals in an industry that desperately needs more diversity, equity, and inclusion. He talks about what it takes to build a business that people actually want to work for—think profit-sharing, transparency, and a big helping of trust.From surviving corporate chaos to learning how to lean into pain (yes, really), Curtis doesn't hold back. He even shares his morning routine and the books that keep him grounded. This episode is packed with personal stories, powerful leadership lessons, and a refreshing dose of optimism for what capitalism can look like when it's done consciously.**If you enjoy this podcast, would you consider leaving a review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

Check out an old episode from our vault with Pete Stravos, who will be speaking at the CEO Summit (October 22-24) in Austin, Texas. Click here to register and learn more about it.Pete Stravos at KKR is leading the way in driving outstanding returns through a focus on employee ownership and building great cultures. Simple formula- challenging to implement! Drive engagement and align incentives for success--- make front line workers care about the outcome and give them life changing opportunities to build financial wealth. The opportunity is huge! Only 20% of employees are actively engaged at work, the average turnover rate in the US is 40 % per year, and the Treasury Department estimates 70% of American workers are financially illiterate. Into this world comes Stravos with a plan to address these ills and make great returns for his investors. As he says, hard core capitalist love this because of the returns- they don't have to buy into the philosophy. But those that understand the benefits of doing business this way love it!Peter summarizes, “We will exit 8-10 straight 3x deals, which I think in the history of private equity has never been done. I don't think any industry vertical at any firm ever will say, you know, 10, straight triples! And so I think it's going to be hard for people to say that this is hurting investors, that its' doing anything other than driving great returns. **If you enjoy this podcast, would you consider leaving a review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

Profit is essential for business, but what happens when it comes at the expense of society? Join us as we dive into this pressing issue with Chris Marquis, author of "The Profiteers: How Business Privatizes Profit and Socializes Costs." Marquis unpacks how companies often "socialize their costs" through harmful side effects and externalities, leaving society to pick up the tab.We explore the dark side of corporate profit-making, with the opioid crisis and Purdue Pharma serving as prime examples of how businesses can hide their negative impacts. Imagine a car's exhaust pipe feeding directly into the passenger compartment—that's the stark reality of pollution externalities affecting everyone, not just the polluters.But instead of pointing fingers, Marquis advocates for a transformation of our systems and markets. He emphasizes the need to evolve our practices to account for the true and total costs of doing business while preserving the best aspects of our market-based capitalist system. Tune in to discover how current business models contribute to environmental degradation, plastic pollution, biodiversity loss, and extreme social inequality, and why these practices are unsustainable in the long run. With Chris Marquis, we explore innovative ways to capture conscious businesses' true costs and profits, ensuring that profit remains beneficial and ethical.**If you enjoy this podcast, would you consider leaving a review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

Horacio Marchand es Doctor en Psicología Profunda y Estudios Mitológicos por Pacifica Graduate Institute en Santa Bárbara, California; Master en Administración con enfoque en Mercadotecnia por University of Texas in Austin y Licenciado en Administración de Empresas por el ITESM. Una mezcla increíble entre Mercadotecnia, Administración y Psicología que le da una particularidad impresionante y que le permite conectar puntos que muy pocos pueden.Actualmente es Presidente de Marchand & Asociados, desde donde da consultoría especializada en Estrategia, Marketing y Ventas, y principalmente ayuda a organizaciones a crecer y solidificar su posición en el mercado, con una cartera de clientes de todo el país.Forma parte en Consejos y Comités Ejecutivos de diversas instituciones y empresas, es columnista desde hace varios años de los periódicos Reforma, El Norte, El Mural y diversas publicaciones de negocios y artículos sobre estrategia, ventas y marketing.En 2004 publicó su primer libro: “Hipermarketing” ; donde comparte un modelo estratégico de alineación enfocado al cliente; y recientemente publicó el libro “Poder Personal”, buenísimo para cualquier líder o dueño de negocio, donde describe la forma en que nos atrapamos en la vida condicionada, e ilustra el camino de cómo podemos liberarnos y articular una estrategia personal para reinventarnos y mejorar. Profesor, ponente e instructor en un sinnúmero de congresos, conferencias y cursos. Ha participado en la Escuela Superior de Administración y Dirección de Empresas en Barcelona; en la Escuela Adolfo Ibáñez en Miami; en Prime Business School en Bogotá, Colombia; y como profesor en el EGADE Business School en Monterrey, México, entre otros. Highlights de nuestra conversación:1.- El autoconocimiento como el arma secreta para que cualquier persona pueda aprender mejor.La manera para reinventarnos como personas y dejar de sentirnos desadaptados está en camino del autoconocimiento.Recomienda a los líderes y en general a cualquier persona que se sienta sin rumbo hacer muchas cosas con su tiempo, experimentar, fracasar, y entre más cosas haces, más te vas a conocer.2.- Como líderes, debemos interesarnos más en cambiar y continuar aprendiendo.Como líderes, muchas veces gozamos de muchos privilegios que nos mantienen en una zona de confort, nos vemos a nosotros mismos exitosos, y nos mantiene estancados en lugar de continuar evolucionando.Para esto es importante contar con una humildad intelectual que nos permita cambiar y que al mismo tiempo nos haga reaprender a recibir feedback, pues como líderes se nos olvida que nosotros también debemos adaptarnos al feedback que recibimos. 3.- El futuro de los consultores y la validación de nuestro “uniqueness” Haciendo eco de su libro “Poder personal”, nos habla de los 4 cuadrantes del autoconocimiento: la parte pública, lo que yo dejo que los demás sepan de mí, la parte privada, que es lo que solo yo sé de mí, la parte ciega, en donde los demás ven en mí cosas que yo no veo, y por último la dimensión desconocida. Esto nos ayuda a entender cómo los consultores podemos guiar a los líderes a siempre tener esa voz de la consciencia para ayudarlos a descubrir ese lado oscuro y lo puedan mejorar continuamente.Además, nos recuerda la importancia de los soft skills. La tecnología nos debe empoderar, mas no atemorizarnos. Mientras que la tecnología se va a encargar de cosas más automatizadas y hasta aburridas, los seres humanos vamos a tener que lidiar con cosas más allegadas a la creatividad, espiritualidad, y temas afín. Esperamos que encuentres este episodio tan avasallador como nosotros, y descubras tips, datos, información, hacks, reflexiones e insights que te hagan vibrar.Atrévete a aprender porque esto es: Dare to Learn.https://diegolainez.com.mx/
