Move Your Business to Its Highest Potential Through Conscious Capitalism with Alexander McCobin [LLC 016]

Mar 12, 2018

It’s time for a reimagining of capitalism. Conscious Capitalism is a fresh approach to business. Although the principles have been around for a very long time, this movement as we know it is gaining popularity in today’s business world.

My guest today is Alexander McCobin, the CEO of Conscious Capitalism, Inc., a US-based organization dedicated to elevating humanity by improving the practice and perception of business.

What We Discuss in This Episode:

• How conscious capitalism emphasizes the human nature of business endeavors
• How the “conscious capitalism” title is fairly new but the underlying concept has been around for a long time
• Why conscious capitalism is what businesses should strive for
• Is the sole purpose of business to maximize profit?
• Why solely focusing on earning profits as a business will negatively affect your performance as a business
• The 4 tenets of conscious capitalism: 1) higher purpose, 2) stakeholder orientation, 3) conscious leadership, and 4) conscious culture
• What affect, if any, does the economy have on how business leaders run their businesses
• The challenges and opportunities Alexander embraced as the Millennial leader of Conscious Capitalism
• Why Alexander committed himself to journaling every day in 2017 and what he gained from that experience
