I’m not an economist, a historian, or a philosopher. But when I started putting out podcasts and writing my book, I had to go outside of my comfort zone in order to develop a sense of context, as well as a more informed opinion, on what is happening for employees and why in so many cases it feels so wrong.

In this episode, I interview some real experts - Paul Knowlton and Aaron Hedges, authors of the book, "Better Capitalism - Jesus, Adam Smith, Ayn Rand, and MLK Jr. on moving from plantation to partnership economics." That subtitle both triggered and intrigued me, and I needed to find out more. So I read the book, and had Paul and Aaron on the podcast!

Paul and Aaron are experts on economics, but also on theology. I had my hackles up when I started reading their book, but it's actually about a lot of the things I talk about, like the power dynamics in Corporate America, why work is so bad for so many employees, and of course, some things we can do to fix it.

Paul is an attorney, pastoral counselor, and author. He is a first-generation Cuban American who spent some years in the foster system. Paul combines his unusually broad and diverse background in engineering, law, business, and seminary training for a truly interdisciplinary approach to every question.

Aaron is the CEO of Inheritance of Hope,a nonprofit that helps families who have lost parents due to terminal illness. He is also an entrepreneur and business coach, and of course an author.
