What is a major food retailer doing to reduce waste? Just how ethical is AI? And how can domestic tourism recover from COVID? These are just some of the questions we put to CEOs, founders, entrepreneurs, and academics in the second series of the AGSM @ UNSW Business School 'The Business Of' leadership podcast.

As the pace and complexity of organisational change speeds up, a new generation of leaders is emerging who see the world differently. They are finding ways to 'do well' and 'do good' and influence how ethical business decisions are made - so what can we learn from them?

In the latest season of the 'Business of' podcast, we ask leaders in their field how organisations are building sustainable business models and contributing to a significant shift in how their industries operate. What future challenges and global opportunities face business, and what impact will these have on wider society? What is their lived experience of navigating this disruption? And how can these lessons be harnessed?
