His perspective is that the expression of humanity and shared value has become intertwined with the industry. The world is changing and we’re all playing at a different level now. Seth also thinks a lot about how “fear” has creeped in throughout his journey and how it is rarely a productive feeling, but it can be a productive motivator. Fear has forced him to confront the challenges of living his best life and question what that “best life” entails. As a father, Seth keeps in mind that he is a role model for his children and cares deeply about leaving the right legacy and priorities behind. You can listen to all the deep sentiments and interesting insights that Seth shares in this compelling conversation!

Human identity and expression are morphing and showing up in ways that have never been given before.
“The business of business is business”
The expression of humanity and shared value is now business
The absence of safety can keep a lot of good people from doing good and new things.
Fear is rarely a productive feeling, but it can be a productive motivator
Speaking the fear out loud, to yourself, is much healthier than keeping it in
