Are you living an ethical life? Sounds like a strange question, but after much talking about living in a way that is aligned with our beliefs, we could go deeper and discover if they underpin a way of living that is good for us AND for the others.

In an age of relativism where many think that what *they* believe is the absolute truth, that impossible to discuss, in a world where there is no longer right or wrong (or is there? Maybe it has always been there) it’s fascinating to discuss an ethical life from a different point of view.

For this conversation I was honored to host the Ethics Ninja, professor, Rabbi and Ted talk speaker Yonason Goldson. Together we go deep into the realm of what an ethical life might look like in our families, at work and - why not - in businesses and governments.

Tune in to find out what it takes to live ethically, doing good and taking responsibly and ultimately experiencing a much richer and more fulfilling life - while allowing others to do the same.
