When our host, Ashwin Krishnan, came across a LinkedIn post supporting Zoom amidst their recent troubles, he immediately contacted the author Vince Crisler, Founder and CEO of Dark Cubed. Vince joins the podcast here to talk about why he felt compelled to support Zoom during their darkest hour and what he learnt about their corporate culture from the response to his article.

Vince also talks about how he is leading Dark Cubed through these strange and unprecedented times. He describes a people-first culture, reaching out to those who need help most, and the aims of D3 for Good.
