What if our economy prioritized the greater good over profits? We present one final talk from our inaugural Summit where Emily Chew, a Sustainable and Responsible Investment Executive, argues for a shift from profit-driven systems to those that focus on environmental and social well-being. By reframing human nature as interconnected with our environment and each other, Emily encourages intentional capital allocation towards sustainable and socially responsible solutions. She critiques traditional economic frameworks for promoting competitive and hierarchical relationships and advocates for a new approach centered on human and communal welfare. Emily leaves us with three pivotal questions to guide organizations in adopting an ethic of care, ultimately ensuring the well-being of all stakeholders. Watch Emily’s full talk: https://lnkd.in/g9F9m_hT AND join us at this year’s Summit, October 11-13 in San Francisco! ✨Seats are limited. ✨Secure your spot: theoneplanetsummit.com #oneplanetsummit One Planet Group Payam Zamani #futureleaders #consciouscapitalism #servantleadership #executive #siliconvalley #inspire #inspired

Our founder's book launches today! At the age of 16, Payam escaped persecution and made his way to America as a refugee. At 28, he secured a billion-dollar IPO. Today, he’s redefining what it means to be an entrepreneur by building a new model of capitalism. Available now where books are sold. https://lnkd.in/gDKTjvEv #crossingthedesert #book #launchday
It’s hard to believe that the day is finally here – the launch of “Crossing the Desert”. Over the past year, I’ve been working on my first book. It’s a humbling process that continues to pull me into a state of deep reflection. Part memoir, part business advice, my hope is that my personal story will inspire others to never stop following their callings, no matter how unlikely success may seem at that moment. This is a book about how we continue to grow by embracing challenges and difficult journeys. Thank you to everyone who has supported me by pre-ordering copies, sharing about the book, and sending well wishes. I appreciate it more than you know. with love, payam https://lnkd.in/gSx9uiFB #crossingthedesert #crossingthedesertbook #spiritualcapitalism #spiritualenterprise #bookrelease
