Description

Episode Notes:

Noble Consumerism: "as consumers we have a responsibility to be engaged in the right businesses. I think that's gonna become more prevalent over the next few years. There's gonna be a rise in noble consumerism. Not just that businesses will be challenged to think broader than just short-term profits".

 

Success to Significance

"One of the things for me is moving from success to significance. So I've had some success in my life. There's some big names under that, but I'm grateful for some successes I've had. But I want to see how I can plug more into significance and making a difference. And I'm on the board for a charity in Sydney. It's a charity called The Freedom Hub. It focuses on the issue of slavery. It runs cafes, it plugs 100% of its profits back into that cause. And that's something which has sparked in me desire to do more of that sort of thing, generating a longer term wealth back into society."

 

More Human in the Age of AI:

"In a fast world and a time-driven world, you just want to get to the next place, you don't want to waste any time. But I think being able to stop and connect and just be able to dream and access your creativity is really, really important. As we think about giving our whole selves to work, which I think is super important for things like innovation. Because you can't truly innovate if you're just giving part of yourself to that. I think as you do that, there's a challenge for us to be more human in the age of AI".

 

Supply Chain

There's probably more slaves in the world today than there has been in history. In Australia, they are largely getting hidden. It's not so much about the sex trade in Australia, it's more about getting paid to work below the minimum wage, or not even being paid, having ___ taken away when they're being brought over, that sort of thing. So I think the biggest question that I hear when I talk about it is, 'Does this really happen in Australia?' And it does. And the great thing is that you hear is that... slavery has been brought in, and corporations are now gonna have some of the best supply chain.
