SHARED VALUES MATTER to Michael McCain

<p>Michael McCain is an incredible human being, and a dear friend. I admire Michael as a father, philanthropist, passionate Canadian, and one of our most respected leaders. Michael has, what I believe, is the answer to the future of capitalism. A sharp and relentless focus on shared values where every stakeholder, including Planet Earth, has a seat at the table, versus shareholder value where one wins over the other. An organization that is driven by a higher purpose than profit. This isn’t a mission statement, tucked behind framed glass, this is a path that the entire company he leads, Maple Leaf Foods is racing on.  To date Maple Leaf is the first major food company to be carbon neutral, targeting e a 50% reduction in waste by 2025, and their end game is to become the most sustainable protein company on Planet Earth. </p> <p>In this podcast, we learn about Michael’s life story, the incredible bond he had with his Father, the darkest moment in his career where 23 people lost their lives because of a listeria outbreak in his plant.  You will also hear how Michael fearlessly called out then President Trump for his reckless acts, and being a narcissist, and so much more. </p> <p>I would also encourage you to share the podcast with any young adults as the many lessons Michael shares apply as much to them, as to you.</p> <p>John Stackhouse, the former Editor and Chief of the Globe and Mail, and today an SVP in the Office of the CEO of RBC, best-selling author and the host of one of my favourite podcasts, the Disruptors, joins me to talk about Michael's unique capabilities and to share his thoughts on capitalism and leadership.</p> <p><span style= "font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;"> Michael McCain -</span> <a style= "font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;" href= "https://twitter.com/MichaelHMcCain">https://twitter.com
