Positive Sum

An overview of my paper's outline so far!

Some additional thoughts I have been having recently. 

In this episode I talk about social capital and its role within the Positive Sum framework. Social Capital is fundamental to what I am trying to do and it relates to human capital and physical capital.

In the coming weeks I will be learning more about Valero and will be assessing the company along these lines as well.

For the next few months, I will be studying Valero to understand its true value as a company using the positive sum framework.

Welcome! Please listen to this episode before any others.  I provide a brief overview of this podcast's mission. It is very important to listen to this episode first before moving on to others.
