Social responsibility is massive and the podcast we developed to understand video format story telling was dedicated to telling stories for free to the active community to show just how sincere and deep we'd go on making a difference. I have a link to review this channel as its a real and material manifestation of a project we support (https://www.youtube.com/@activehobo)

Responsibility is clearly defined and we have a direct and transparent approach. We have made mistakes and its cost the business in the past through loss of a client, that client ownership was directly owned by me and shared with the team, no one else was blamed, no escape goats just an honest acceptance of we messed up. The impact was clear for all to see and the process to fix the root cause of the problem and the culture in which it was done demonstrated to the team what ownership looks like and what is expected of them. You have to lead how you expect others to in the internal and extenal functions of the business. Own your mistakes, make damn sure you fix the processes and sometimes people responsible for them and make those things systems and measurable based so we dont repeat them.
