In the 1987 film, Wall Street, Gordon Gecko notoriously declared, “Greed is good.” On this episode of The Breakdown, we wonder, “Is beauty better?” In recent years, purpose has moved center-stage for business leaders. Too often, the subject is approached entirely through words with little to show in the way of changed actions or behaviors.

Steven Morris is the author of The Beautiful Business – an actionable manifesto to shape any business into an unignorable entity that stands the test of time.

Lean in as we discuss these questions and more: Do the core motivations of founders matter? Can business be beautiful? Is there a way to organize and lead our companies that reliably brings fulfillment and impact beyond the balance sheet? What might happen if your business begins to operate with love at its core?

If you’re a leader who wants to break away from the dominant paradigms but aren’t quite sure where to begin, this conversation is for you.

The Beautiful Business is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Apple Books. Learn more about Steven Morris and his work at matterco.co.
