Originally aired January 16, 2025

Ravi Chaudhry, author of Capitalism to Peopleism: Inspiring a Leadership Transition, joins SSF Executive Director Edward Saltzberg for a conversation on building a new paradigm for global governance and leadership.

The discussion explores the Wisdom Economy, ethical leadership, and actionable strategies for organizations ready to drive systemic change.
