EP 25: Creating an Economy in Service of Life with B. Lorraine Smith

What if corporate social responsibility efforts truly protected and supported life on Earth?

What if corporate social responsibility efforts truly protected and supported life on Earth?

In today’s episode, you’ll hear B. Lorraine Smith (

) - an adviser, writer, speaker and corporate mischievist who holds a vision of an economy that works in service of life. She has been digging deeply into these issues and brings profound and illuminating insights that affirm how much more is possible for humanity, industry and the biosphere.

You’ll hear an incredible story of personal and professional reckoning, embracing inner and outer evolution - even at a moment where more change may not have seemed possible - and the fascinating pursuits and impact that Lorraine found as she pushed through to the other side.

If you’ve ever sensed ‘the truth’ boiling up and felt afraid to act, Lorraine’s story of flipping her 20+ year career in the corporate social responsibility (CSR) and ESG (environment, social and governance) industries on its head offers equal parts inspiration, humour and courage.

Have you ever wondered happens when you follow the paper trail on corporate lobby money? Lorraine reveals what she found and dives into what it means to now conduct corporate “materiality assessments” on behalf of life itself and her methodology that supports this work.

You’ll learn a heck of a lot about the CSR industry, what’s broken in our guest’s opinion, and how we might look at corporate and consumer impact differently. You don’t want to miss this!
