Big vs. Small: Unpacking the Debate on Corporate Success and Social Responsibility
In this podcast episode, I discuss a viral post about the Stanley company and its significant growth after changing its target market. The company, originally a camping and hunting brand targeting men, transitioned to offering products in various colors aimed at women.
I share insights from social media posts and discussions in a women entrepreneurs group where some individuals express frustration about the rising prices of limited edition Stanley cups and criticize big businesses for overshadowing small enterprises. I reflect on the challenges of running a business, the entitlement of companies to reap rewards for their risks, and the importance of personal responsibility and individual effort in achieving success.
