Nick Romeo "What is the definition of a successful company? Is it one in which you are treating humans in the environment decently. If that's the floor, if you're not doing that, you're not succeeding, you're just kind of successfully cheating" @AspenJobQuality #talkopportunity

#talkopportunity There is some value in supporting businesses that pay living wages - supporting businesses that are worker owned and supporting businesses that are doing the right thing. The consumer model of reforming capitalism is just not sufficient. - Nick Romeo
