Zero Based Budgeting: What is it and Why Should You Care? w/ Adanma Akujieze: We’re all familiar with the yearly rounds of budgeting within our companies. But how often are we really looking at the WAY that we are budgeting? So often, the budgeting process is simply looking at the prior year’s budget, adding a little bit of inflation room onto it, and moving forward, never really stopping to sit back and ask ourselves WHY we are spending the dollars that we are.

Social Impact Companies w/ Julian Love: These days, it’s more important than ever before for companies to have some form of social impact. We don’t need to look any further than the companies that came out and took a strong stand for the Black Lives Matter movement, or the negative impact on the companies that stayed quiet. Customers are paying attention to what companies are saying and doing, or not saying and doing, and particularly the younger generations are wanting to feel like the companies they’re doing business with are committed to making the world a better place. But how does a company both deliver value to its shareholders and make a positive social impact at the same time? Is that even possible? Or are the two mutually exclusive?
