  • Join host Mark Hayward in a thought-provoking episode of the Business Growth Talks podcast. In this insightful discussion, we delve into the controversial and complex issue of executive compensation, a topic that ignites debates across boardrooms and dinner tables alike. This episode touches on how large businesses compensate their CEOs and whether the staggering amounts align with the value these leaders create or perpetuate income inequality.
