Values & Interests, a New Carnegie Council Podcast 

We are excited to announce the launch of Values & Interests, a new podcast series which takes a deep dive into the ethical tensions and tradeoffs at the heart of decision-making across geopolitics, tech, philosophy, and business.

Together, we’ll hear from leaders and experts who have spent their careers reckoning with critical ethical questions across their personal and professional lives. Whether facing daily decisions or tackling global issues, we’ll uncover new approaches for navigating the complex, and often fraught relationship, between our own values and interests.

Be sure to subscribe to "Carnegie Council" wherever you get your podcasts.
