Conscious Capitalism: Business Beyond Profit with Rachel Fine Wilson
Only 32% of employees believe their company truly lives its stated values (Deloitte, 2024). That gap between words and actions is where trust is lost — and where conscious capitalism steps in.
In this episode of The Bliss Business Podcast, we sit down with Rachel Fine Wilson, Founder and CEO of Gigglewaters, to explore how values-driven leadership and authentic connection can transform a business from profitable to purposeful.
🎙️ Hosted by Stephen Sakach and Mike Liwski
🎧 Produced by Tullio Siragusa
In this episode, we explore:
• What conscious capitalism looks like inside a fast-growing hospitality brand
• How to scale culture and care without losing authenticity
• Why purpose and profit are not opposites, but partners in progress
• How empathy and emotional intelligence drive sustainable success
• What “love in leadership” really means in the world of franchising
This episode will challenge how you think about business, purpose, and growth.
