875: The Role of Business in Political Change, with Christine Lagorio-Chafkin

Christine Lagorio-Chafkin is a senior writer at Inc. Magazine. In this episode we discuss her recent article, "Business Leaders Spoke Up After the Capitol Riot.

So we dig into the issue of what the appropriate role of business is, or should be, in driving societal and political change. When the stakes are so high, is it possible for business to stay on the sidelines?
