When he was a teenager, Lord Michael Hastings was asked what he wanted to do with his life. His answer was ‘to bend the power of the prosperous to the potential of the poor.’ Throughout his extensive career in education, government, broadcasting, business, and public service, Lord Hastings has stayed true to that purpose.

In this episode, Lord Hastings talks about leading corporate social responsibility efforts during a time when it wasn’t commonplace for businesses to prioritize purpose. He also tackles how companies can address the most urgent threat to our existence: climate change.

It is no secret that most American corporations prioritize the interests of its shareholders over those of their employees. But things weren’t always that way. Abigail Disney’s latest documentary The American Dream and Other Fairy Tales uses Disney as an example to tell a bigger story about this change in America. And Abigail is not afraid to stand up for what she believes is right, even if that means criticizing the company her family founded.

Today Abigail encourages us to envision a world where we change corporate power dynamics by educating leaders about responsible business practices.
