Culture Talks: Hot Takes on Wildfires and Executive Perks

You can follow Culture Talks on Apple Podcasts as well as Spotify, and subscribe to our YouTube Channel for full episodes, clips, and more. 

Some episodes of Culture Talks start with a laugh and end with a gut check. This one does both. We open by tearing into a Wall Street Journal report on extreme executive perks - six-figure "wellness" allowances, executives already earning tens of millions layered with millions more in benefits, while frontline employees fight to cover basic healthcare. We both agree we’re capitalists who believe in rewarding success. What bothers us is the spread - and the boards who sign off on it without asking a single hard question.

The conversation turns personal and urgent when I look out my window at wildfire smoke rolling in from the Okanagan.

I also share a surprising data point about Mississippi's dramatic turnaround in elementary reading and math scores - not by lowering the bar, but by raising it and coaching students to meet it.

Watch or listen to the full episode for the full breakdown.
