This is the Business Brainstorm Podcast! It’s time to learn some words of wisdom from the founder and CEO of WIN Reality, Chris O’Dowd. In 2016, Chris and his father established WIN Reality, combining the pair's baseball knowledge with breakthrough virtual reality technology. Using data from in-game film sessions describing pitchers' throwing actions and ball flight paths, data that every major league team now tracks, they developed an immersive system that simulates what it's like to hit in big league games. Their major company mission is to assist hitters in recognizing pitches and establishing good mental habits. Their client list has risen from one MLB club to two-thirds of the league in three years. They've also grown into the collegiate levels, with notable programs such as UT, Vanderbilt, and Wake Forest among them. Although their reputation among baseball history has been rewarding, the company's ultimate purpose is to reach out to young ballplayers. Tune in and learn more. You’re going to love this episode!

What do Millennials think about purpose? Do they actually buy and work for companies and brands that have activated purpose? Is this a real thing? And what should leaders know about this important generation? 

We’ve invited a couple of Millennials to chat about it. Fast Company’s Social Media Producer Christina Royster and Fast Company’s Associate Editor Yasmin Gagne from the podcast, Hit the Ground Running, are here to share their opinions and ideas about what purpose means to them.

The world of business leadership has shifted dramatically in the past few years – from stockholder capitalism to stakeholder. A higher purpose is what businesses need to be about and companies need to take a stand on societal issues.

There’s one big problem though: today’s leaders weren’t trained for this new world. There was no class for this in business school. In some ways, it’s the wild west – a new frontier with no map. And C-suiters are struggling to find the way forward.

As a result, there’s a vacuum in purpose leadership. Company purpose is often toothless and company social activism backfires.

How do CEOs navigate this new terrain? How do CHROs build this new culture of leadership into the employee experience? How do CMOs build purpose effectively into their brand?
