Episode Summary
David Gardner reading from Charles Dickens’ The Pickwick Papers and discussing the benefits of the enterprise mindset.
I’m a reader. Not only do I love books, I love to read them in an old-school way: my eyes and the book’s pages in front of me. But, it occurred to me that the really old-school way of reading books is to be a listener. The truth is, some books just shine when they’re read out loud.
David Gardner is the co-founder of The Motley Fool, the organisation that prides itself on the practice of conscious capitalism, a concept that seeks to elevate humanity through business.
David reads two pages from ‘The Pickwick Papers’ by Charles Dickens. [reading begins at 13:45]
Hear us discuss:
- Bringing people together: “State what you stand for, live it, and fight against the things that undermine it.” [21:36]
- Counteracting whitewashing. [26:24]
- Balancing individual values and playing the bigger game: “The only ethical framework that makes sense is when everybody wins, not win-lose, or lose-win.” [29:12]
