Conscious Capitalism: Business Beyond Profit with Shane Jackson
In a business world obsessed with quarterly results, too many leaders still treat purpose as optional instead of essential. Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace report shows that only about one in four employees strongly agree their organization cares about their wellbeing.
At the same time, long term studies on purpose driven and stakeholder oriented companies, such as Firms of Endearment, show that businesses that put people and purpose at the center can dramatically outperform the market over many years.
In this episode of The Bliss Business Podcast, we sit down with Shane Jackson, President of Jackson Healthcare, to explore what conscious capitalism looks like when it is actually lived out in a large, complex organization.
Shane shares powerful insights on:
• How to redefine success beyond profit while still driving strong performance
• The systems that keep culture, values, and wellbeing at the center of the business
• Why leadership is about stewardship, not status, and how that shapes decisions
• How love, care, and community impact translate into real business outcomes

Profit is important, but it is not the whole story. The future belongs to leaders who are brave enough to build businesses that truly improve the lives they touch.
