    Why Profit-First Is Quietly Breaking Your Business with Glenn Bostock

    Most businesses say people matter. But what happens when profits become the priority and people become an afterthought? In this episode of The Honest Mic, Fortune sits down with Glenn Bostock, founder of SnapCab and author of A Human Business, to explore why traditional management often fails, what leaders misunderstand about motivation, and how businesses can grow without sacrificing their humanity. Glenn shares how his early struggles with learning disabilities shaped his leadership philosophy, why he believes the human body provides the perfect model for a healthy organization, and how kindness, usefulness, and clarity can create stronger cultures and better business results. We discuss: • Why profit-first thinking eventually hurts profits • The five principles of a human business • Why management is often wrong about people • The connection between leadership and purpose • What "love" actually means in a workplace • How to improve employee engagement and retention • Why companies waste more employee time than they realize Whether you're a founder, manager, entrepreneur, or simply curious about the future of work, this conversation offers a different way to think about leadership and organizational success.
