In today’s All Business With Jeffrey Hayzlett we revisit an episode from last summer.   Racism, police brutality, and brutal honesty. This episode of “All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett” tackles the biggest issue right now with the help of co-host Rolonda Watts.    First, we get an inside glimpse of one of the largest police departments in the country. Retired LAPD Sergeant Cheryl Dorsey, who worked all four bureaus in Los Angeles, talks about how the culture inside police departments starts at the top. She added why minorities don’t want to call the police and how her philosophy “I care, but I don’t” helped her deal with the stress of the job. Sgt. Dorsey mentioned how every police department has a “Billy Bad Ass” and why she thinks the movement to ‘defund’ the police is missing the mark. If you really want to change your community’s police department, Sgt. Dorsey says there’s one thing you can do that has nothing to do with money.   Dr. Jeffrey Gardere joins us for the second half of the show. Known as “Ame

There are many topics that are considered taboo -- sex, politics, and religion are the most notable. However, there is another topic that we're still not talking about: wealth! Many associate as a domain for only those with money, but that couldn't be further from the truth. On today's episode, Jeffrey speaks to Frank Cooper III, Chief Marketing Officer at BlackRock, and he's a believer that more people should experience financial well-being. With money being the #1 stressor, he believes people aren't being taught to talk about money and how to manage it, spend it, or save it.   They also spoke about Frank's career trajectory -- from DefJam, Motown, PepsiCo, Buzzfeed, and now BlackRock. He talked about the nuggets he took from each of these companies and how influential culture is to everything from culture to branding. After all, culture eats strategy for lunch.

Consumer habits have changed considerably over the years. No longer are they persuaded to purchase a product because they saw it on TV or saw an ad elsewhere. They make decisions with their pocketbooks and they also want the products they buy to reflect their values.  On this episode of All Business, Jeffrey talks with Richard Steel, CEO of Parsec Ventures and author of the book, “Elevated Economics” addressing conscious consumerism. Richard tells us why this isn’t a trend, what companies are maximizing opportunities and capitalizing on them, and even leaves us all with some homework.   Buy the book: https://elevatedeconomics.org/   Become a member of the C-Suite Network: https://c-suitenetwork.com/executive-membership Learn more about your ad choices.
