A better world comes down to creating powerful experiences that remind people that they actually love and care about the welfare of other human beings. For those who embrace this view, businesses and brands are tools that we can use to generate that experience, and inspire people to take action. I’ve been fortunate throughout my career, and as CEO of COMMON, to have been asked to participate in this pursuit." In this episode we discuss Trauma and its effects, relinquishing the assumed right to power, managing rage, being a black man in LA during these times and much more.
