While we’re on a season break, we're sharing an episode from another podcast we think you’ll love. Impact After Hours, hosted by Camille Laurente, is a show about pursuing a life of impact on and off the clock.   In this episode, Camille sits down with Ami Dar, the founder and executive director of Idealist, recorded live in front of an audience in New York City. They get into what it actually looks like to hire and build a team around kindness, what dignity means in the workplace, and why Ami still calls himself an idealist even with everything going on in the world right now.  Subscribe to Impact After Hours: https://lnk.to/impact-after-hours Hosted on Acast.
