Did BlackRock Just Kill ESG? And Why White Leaders Have Few Diverse Friends

Caleb and Adriele talk about the Supreme Court season, including the elections and affirmative action cases, as well as Starbucks' Pride fiasco and Vanderbilt's careless handling of trans patient records. Then, they turn their eye towards a new study that says most employees say their well-being has worsened or stayed the same, but their bosses think it's gotten better. Next, they deep dive on BlackRock CEO Larry Fink's decision to no longer use the term “ESG” and predict the fallout. They also work through the impact of most white American leaders not having diverse friend groups, especially in the context of the loneliness epidemic and the community infrastructure problem. All that, plus a new law protecting pregnant workers and the notable decline in performative allyship for Pride this year.


Hosts: Caleb Gardner & Adriele Parker

Producer: Dave Sandell
