[06:45] – Your thoughts on the subject of morality and ethics.

• Morality is our compass, and ethics is what everyone agrees upon.
• People are getting their standards of morality from so many places, like their family, religious background, education, and social media. All of these influences lead to someone’s morality.
• Ethics standards are trying to modulate. It is trying to get everybody on a similar page with an understanding that there is nothing everyone will agree upon.
• There are nuances in a morality which are so much fun. Hearing what is acceptable in one place and not in another is quite interesting.
• The difference in individual morality and ethics worldwide is something businesses need to do a much better job. Unfortunately, most of the time, ethics are sidelined by companies.

[23:45]- What three lessons do you want our viewers & listeners to take away from your journey?

• Ethics is a practice that changes all the time. We must be prepared as we grow older and mature. There will be moderation and things that will happen, but we must remain ethical.
• Ethics is for everyone; it cannot be selective in an organization.
• Good ethics is a good business.
