Principle versus Profit

We talk a lot about business on this show, and what it takes to
be successful in business. On this edition of Out to Lunch
Stephanie focuses on an aspect of business that doesn't typically
get so much attention: ethics.


Aaron Beam is a former executive who travels around the country
lecturing on ethics in business. It's a topic he knows well. In
the late 1990s, Aaron participated in a 2 billion securities
fraud scandal at Health South, the extremely successful Fortune
500 company he had co founded in the 1980s and helped lead as
CFO. When the fraud was discovered, Aaron had opportunity in
prison to reflect on what he had done. In the years since, he has
taken those lessons learned and now tries to help others avoid
making the same mistake.


Tom Ryan is Professor of Theology and Ministry at Loyola
University in New Orleans, and Director of the school s Institute
for Ministry, which has an extension program in Baton Rouge. Tom
is an expert on the Catholic Church and its teaching and has been
nationally recognized for his research on the history of biblical
interpretation, the history of spirituality and faith, and
popular culture.


Professor Ryan also speaks regularly on Pope Francis, who
recently published a document on the Call to Holiness in Today's
World. In that document, the pope makes a special point about the
call to holiness in business and the marketplace.


Stephanie Riegel takes an unorthodox but fascinating pause for
reflection in this lunchtime conversation at Mansurs on the
Boulevard.
