In this episode, I dive into the Hollywood film "The Burial," which vividly depicts the legal battle between Jeremiah O’Keefe and The Loewen Group. Starring Jamie Foxx and Tommy Lee Jones, it portrays the 1990s court drama surrounding a breach of contract.
As a National Sales Director during that time, I share personal experiences when The Loewen Group entered the funeral industry, promising growth and benefits. However, as acquisitions intensified, ethical issues emerged, leading to a "perfect storm" of betrayal.
Reflecting on red flags and unease among employees, including myself, I highlight the downfall marked by the O'Keefe lawsuit, hostile takeovers, and financial mismanagement. I stress the importance of trusting instincts, standing up for what is right, and advocating for ethical leadership.
The episode concludes with a call for ethical business practices, sparking a conversation about integrity and transparency. I hope to contribute to a future where success is measured by positive impacts on the world.
