Summary

Corporate leaders are speaking up about social justice, voter suppression, and the role of the American CEO. Yale School of Management’s Jeffrey Sonnenfeld organized a Zoom call with over 100 prominent CEOs to discuss their collective response to Georgia’s voting law, and calls from the public and from government officials to speak out--or not. Sonnenfeld shares key takeaways from that massive virtual conversation. Former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb is looking ahead to a world of vaccination validations and variants; he considers the likelihood of fraudulent vaccination cards and how society will navigate restricted access to public health information. Plus, the team breaks down Fed Chair Jay Powell’s “60 Minutes” appearance, a record at the Masters, and a new business idea for EV charging stations.
