In this episode I talk about social capital and its role within the Positive Sum framework. Social Capital is fundamental to what I am trying to do and it relates to human capital and physical capital. There is also a link to the triple bottom line which I discuss in the latter half of the episode. In the coming weeks I will be learning more about Valero and will be assessing the company along these lines as well.

The topics discussed in each episode of this podcast build over time. The earliest episodes are introductory and represent a starting point. As time passes, I will be going in many different directions.
