In this podcast episode, I delve into the complex interplay between business and politics, underscoring the risks companies take when incorporating political messaging into their operations. Drawing on examples like Disney and Bud Light, I discuss the "Get Woke, Go Broke" phenomenon, where embracing far-left "Woke" ideologies can lead to significant setbacks and financial losses. I highlight Disney's acknowledgment of this impact in its SEC filing and Bud Light's controversial move, resulting in a 30% sales loss and a persistent boycott. Advocating for a balanced approach, I compare the intrusion of politics into business operations to a potential cancer that undermines hard work. I conclude the episode with a call for businesses to navigate the delicate balance between public opinion and political involvement thoughtfully.
