Finding Wisdom with Professor Wade Chumney

Wade Chumney is an associate professor of Business Ethics and Law at California State University, Northbridge. He authored the book, Conscious Business Ethics: The Practical Guide to Wisdom, where he applies Plato’s teachings and philosophy to the modern-day, focusing on consciousness. Wade champions the practical application of business ethics in a way that benefits peoples’ lives. He has also been a frequent speaker at several universities like ICN Business School International, the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Michigan.

Wade joins me today to discuss the difference between ethics and business ethics. He reveals how we can understand the systems that govern our world and connect us. He discusses how Plato’s teachings inspired him to write his book and his attempt to modernize ancient philosophical ideas. He shares how living a life based on fear or love determines a person’s path and goals. Wade also explains why his book isn’t written for a specific audience.

"It's a choice to operate on the fundamental basis of love, caring, and doing the right thing." - Wade Chumney
