We explore the idea that sustainability requires a deep personal and cultural shift in the ways we see, think, act and do business in the world. In even the best case future scenarios, we need to find new ways to live, produce and consume. We explore how to create a business culture that helps build a world we can all thrive in, that does not rob future generations and other species, and is more enjoyable for us to live in now.

We welcome back Dr. Beck for a conversation about the future of business. In Dr. Beck's Spiral Dynamics parlance, we've had an unbalanced excess of individualistic, entrepreneurial energy that the more collective "memes" in our society were unable to check, leading to rampant greed and corruption. The tendency now is to swing the pendulum the other way, creating a more interventionist and collectivist ethic that may well create its own set of problems. What can business learn from the mistakes of the past few years? How can entrepreneurship respond to the needs of the whole system instead of individual acquisitiveness?02:00:00Dan MontgomerynoDon Beck,Spiral Dynamics,Orange Meme,Yellow Meme,EntrepreneurshipGuest: Dr. Don Beck.
