CEO podcast Transportation Matters: Martin Daum talks with Brad White about purpose

The third episode of Transportation Matters, the CEO podcast of Daimler Trucks & Buses, is all about purpose. Martin Daum, CEO of Daimler Trucks & Buses talks with Brad White, President for Europe and Middle East at BrightHouse, a company specialized in the topic. The conversation is all about the ‘Why?’. Why, as a company, are we doing business - beyond making money? What drives us, what gets us up in the morning to give our best? In other words: What is the purpose? Martin Daum goes after these questions in his conversation with Brad White, a veteran specialized in helping businesses to define and use their purpose beyond the financials.

„I see purpose in every industry, the need for meaning that people have at all levels of an organization is a very basic human need. It goes back to human psychology. We can go several days without food, we can go far less time without water, but there have been studies, which have been showing that we cannot go more than 30 seconds without trying to figure out the meaning of something,“ explains Brad White, President for Europe and Middle East at BrightHouse.
