We say we value kindness. We talk about ethics, creativity, and community. Yet in the push for results and profit, these often slip through our fingers. Can you really be both principled and profitable?
In this episode of the PiXL Pearls Podcast, Rachel Johnson (CEO, PiXL) explores the paradox at the heart of Lush – a business that makes bubbles and bath bombs while building an "oasis of kindness." From playful innovation to ethical leadership, from profit to purpose, this is a story of holding opposites in tension and thriving because of it.
Expect inspiration, challenge, and a fresh perspective on what it means to lead in today's "Kindness Economy."
