Russ Volckmann & Jeff Klein - Understanding Conscious Capitalism

This is a preview audio of a discussion that will featured in the October issue of Integral Leadership Review. The ILR is one of the sponsors of The Enlightenment Conference, a 3-week online shin-dig of Big Thinkers and wanna-be big thinkers, mostly from the integral world - or as they bill it, "A Virtual Gathering to Birth a New Conscious Culture." The whole thing is a modest $95.

Please note - I do not necessarily endorse this conference, nor do I get compensation for posting this in any way. However, I do endorse Russ Volckmann. If he says Jeff Klein is an important voice, I believe him, so I'm sharing this here.

Jeff Klein
Russ Volckmann 
It may seem that 'Conscious Capitalism' is a contradiction in terms. But in this dialogue, Russ Volckmann, editor of Integral Leadership Review, gets the low-down from Jeff Klein on what capitalism and business looks like when created from a conscious intention.

Jeff is a businessman and author who has been heavily involved in the Conscious Capitalism movement, and he brings his full weight to bear on this inspiring and integrative new approach to commerce and collaborating.

In this Dialogue Jeff and Russ Discuss...
  • The meaning of "conscious capitalism".
  • The role conscious capitalism plays in the evolution of culture.
  • Four defining elements of a business that is practicing conscious capitalism.
  • The relationship between conscious business and community, and a positive vision for the future.

Bon Jovi's New Restaurant Is Pay-What-You-Can

Good for Jon - nice that he can offer this format. Maybe others who are not in it for the profit (and/or don't need the profit) will do something similar. Featured at Take Part: Inspiration to Action.

Bon Jovi's New Restaurant Is Pay-What-You-Can

For anyone who's living on a prayer—or looking to give love a good name—a new opportunity is springing up in Red Bank, New Jersey: it's Jon Bon Jovi's Soul Kitchen, a restaurant where patrons pay what they can afford and volunteers help run the restaurant.

The Soul Kitchen, which will enjoy a grand opening this Spring, is founded on the principle that a healthy meal can feed the soul. Diners can pick any item on the menu and pay what they're able. Patrons who don't have money can volunteer an hour of their time in the kitchen to cover the cost of their meal, and anyone who can afford to give a little more than the recommended donation of $10 will be helping to feed someone with less means.

Most importantly, stresses the Kitchen's website, the restaurant is a place for conversation and community. Volunteer staff serve diners with respect and friendliness, and patrons are encouraged to meet and greet new friends.
