In this episode of BrainStorm, Paul Irving discusses the PBS documentary produced by Bradley Cooper called Caregiving with host Meryl Comer. Their conversation centers on the widespread impact of caregiving in America, where over 53 million people provide unpaid care for loved ones with conditions like Alzheimer's. Irving emphasizes that caregiving is a universal human experience that creates significant economic challenges, with the Milken Institute estimating losses around $1 trillion annually. Irving advocates for developing "care-aware cultures" in workplaces and society and he stresses that human capital is any organization's most important asset.
