171: Fascinating… The World's 1st Global Goals Initiative with Roberta Baskin

As a result of her investigations, she's made beer healthier, exposed sweatshops in the shoe and soccer industries, uncovered pediatric dental abuses, and succeeded in banning dangerous products. Roberta Baskin is a recovering investigative journalist, whose extensive broadcast experience reporting on corporate misconduct quickly earned her the nickname "Bad News Baskin." After reevaluating her purpose as a journalist, she decided to set out on a radical new career path, to find and showcase "good companies" across the globe. Today, she's wildly enthusiastic about promoting socially responsible, innovative businesses, that are positively impacting the world. During this eye-opening discussion, Jon Berghoff digs into Roberta's uplifting story. You'll find out why she completely changed the trajectory of her career, from investigative journalism, to the AIM2Flourish initiative that's inspiring entrepreneurs and innovators to achieve global goals together. You'll also get to hear all about the Fourth Global Forum Conference which is taking place June 14-16, in Cleveland, OH.
