One World – Out to Lunch – It’s New Orleans

April 4, 2019 Out to Lunch Comments Off on One World – Out to Lunch – It’s New Orleans

Typically, on shows about business, hosts and guests talk about business in a way that avoids discussion of politics, socio-economic conditions, or social activism. In the real world, though, business is connected to everything else in our community. And so, once in a while, it’s valuable to acknowledge that, and to talk to people who are in the business of creating social change.
