Special Episode: Conscious Capitalism (Could Your Job Save the World?)

Have we got it all WRONG when it comes to CONSCIOUS CAPITALISM? Can Capitalism ever be truly conscious? And - could Conscious Capitalism just be the thing to SAVE the world? Just a few of the big questions explored in this episode of The Working Week with entrepreneur Ben Askins.

Ben is joined by Raj Sisodia, co-author of the book "Conscious Capitalism: Liberating the Heroic Spirit of Business” - the groundbreaking book that popularised the term “Conscious Capitalism" over a decade ago. But, much has changed since then so - while the book is being re-written - Raj offers Ben incredible insight into the twists and turns of how to make PROFIT for PURPOSE, how to make business with HIGHER CONSCIENCE, and why he believes “Business as Usual” is NO LONGER an option!

Whether you’re a Founder or CEO looking to re-think your business plan, or you’re just someone with a thirst to change the world, this one’s for you. You’ll also get Ben’s best advice for businesses and companies, and a few laughs along the way!
