Episode 267 - Stakeholders: If they pay, they should have say!
The Peluso Presents Podcast
In my last big idea podcast, I discuss a solution to cure many of the evils of the corporate machine. It all boils down to corporate governance. I posit a simple thesis: If a company's decisions affect shareholders, employees, and communities, then shouldn't they all have a say in the decisions that company makes?

Episode 265 - The MBA's are in Charge
The Peluso Presents Podcast
A trip to take my daughter to a Bounce House reminded me that when the MBA's take over a business, it always results in worse service and higher costs all in the quest for more and more money. So why do we let them do this and how can we get away from it?

I had to teach a class with an instructor who did the least amount of work possible.

Episode 259 - Rules for Women
The Peluso Presents Podcast
There is a double standard in the world, and it only affects women. They can't be who they are naturally in the professional environment because some parts of the population can't deal with it.
