We're at a pivot point in our economic development, as conscious capitalism starts to reflect our goals for a better society. Do we want to just produce more and risk being overly extractive of people, planet and trust? Or can we solve persistent problems with lasting solutions that are sustainable for ourselves, our communities, and nature? 

As our workforce skills, jobs, and workplace cultures evolve, we welcome an expert in business management and life long learning: Rick Wartzman, formerly of the Peter Drucker Institute (annually producing the Management Top 250 in the Wall Street Journal), author of new book "Still Broke: Walmart's Remarkable Transformation and the Limits of Socially Conscious Capitalism", and now co-founder of the newly launched Bendable Labs.

We'll dive deeper into these possibilities:

• How can we iteratively design a future of work that meets the needs of both company and labor?
• How best can we innovation support economic stability, worker mobility, and labor opportunity?
• What multi-sector partnerships prepare us for the evolving needs of the future economy?

We'll also be joined by Amir Khaleghi, PhD candidate in Economics, University of Missouri at Kansas City to present our monthly Green Jobs Report, as well as your regular co-hosts Paul Herman (HIP Investor) and Nigel Lake (Pottinger).

As always, this episode will be live and interactive, with a particular focus on practical actions that businesses, governments and individuals can take -- and the economic and ecological benefits of doing so.
