John Mackey started a movement when he founded Whole Foods Market, making natural, organic food, more accessible to a wider audience and not only changing the market, but breaking the mold.

A strong believer in free market principles, Mackey co-founded the Conscious Capitalism movement and co-authored the New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling book Conscious Capitalism, Liberating the Heroic Spirit of Business to boldly defend and re-imagine capitalism, and encourage a way of doing business that is grounded in ethical consciousness.

Now, Mackey has written Conscious Leadership, Elevating Humanity Through Business which closely explores the vision, virtues, and mindset that have informed Mackey’s own leadership journey, providing a roadmap for innovative, value-based leadership—in business and in society.

Join us on April 12th when we present a conversation with John Mackey and Thea Durfee Polancic, Founder of the Chicago Chapter of Conscious Capitalism, as they discuss just what conscious leadership really is, how this philosophy has buoyed the success of Whole Foods, and its potential to transform business and the world.
