48. Business is Changing and Kindness is in with Vinny Tafuro

We are rapidly entering a new age of ‘Conscious Capitalism’ - where kindness, creativity, and human value impacts our modern economics. Vinny Tafuro, founder of the Institute for Economic Evolution, is a visionary thinker, writer, entrepreneur, communications theorist, and economist. He is the author of two books, Corporate Empathy and Unlocking the Labor Cage, where he advocates for the twenty-first century economy that is "disrupting society’s most rigid institutions and beliefs." His economic theories explore the societal and economic shifts being catalyzed by corporations as a result of technology, corporate personhood, and evolving human cognition. In other words, he believes that our economy is entering a new era that can pursue human connection and kindness rather than greed and consumerism.&nbsp; &nbsp; Listen in to my conversation with Vinny and let’s dig deeper into the changing economic landscape where kindness is in.&nbsp; &nbsp; [00:01 - 5:36] Opening Segment I introduce Vinny Tafuro&nbsp; How Vinny started and the scope of his work Vinny’s role and work&nbsp; Institute for Economic Evolution&nbsp; An intro to Human Economics&nbsp; Household management and term for the market A social psychology study within art and science&nbsp; Returning humanity to a mathematical structure [05:37 - 20:38] Understanding Social Capital&nbsp; Vinny’s thoughts on economics and crisis The need for solutions&nbsp; Examples&nbsp; We have a crisis of social capital Understanding social capital The trust that drives a community&nbsp; A cycle of support&nbsp; How to operate in social capital A new metric for businesses to look for&nbsp; A look at Wikipedia&nbsp; The economics of an idea <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2
