We Found Each Other. The Map Of The Distributed Knowing.
Charlene started this podcast wanting to blame someone. A generation, an industry, a set of executives. What she found instead, across four years and dozens of conversations, was harder to sit with: a system so embedded in laws, institutions, and how we teach children to think that most people inside it don’t know it’s there.
This episode walks through the conversations that changed her mind: on economics, on recycling, on nuclear energy, on indigenous knowledge, on moral injury versus PTSD. It lands on the idea that has quietly run under every episode of this show: you are not alone in what you know. The knowing is everywhere. The question was never whether enough of us see it. The question is what we do now that we’ve found each other.
Second in a three-part close to season four.
The 5Cs Podcast connects forward-thinking executives who are building sustainable competitive advantages while driving positive impact. Think of it as an exclusive network of leaders who understand that stewardship isn’t just good ethics – it’s good business.
