S3 E5: Ajay Raju on How We Will Emerge From the Coronavirus Pandemic as a Stronger People

We need a little hope right now, don't you agree? I called my colleague and friend Ajay Raju to help me convey some positive thinking on this crisis. Please know that both of us truly understand people are suffering out there. Lives are being lost, people are getting sick, incomes have diminished to nothing, hopes and dreams have been erased. But in times of crises, human beings always adapt and survive. It is our nature. Ajay is a panelist on Inside Story, the host of Overheard at Tredici and the CEO and chairman of the powerful law firm Dilworth Paxson. He is involved in so many other projects that it would require a secondary podcast to describe. Ajay is plugged in, he is brilliant, he is a forward thinker and he is already planning for beyond this pandemic. We discuss how this uncertain experience might impact how we view and use technology, how we will tend to the environment, how we will act as a truly "global species" and how we will treat each other. Ajay and I wish that this discussion will bring you hope. Because both of us, in the face of the largest crisis either of us have ever seen, remain extremely hopeful for the human race. Anyone who has bet against us has lost every time. Recorded at Dilworth Paxson LLP at 1500 Market Street, Philadelphia on March 19, 2020.
