S2E2 – Tamara Rogers: Humanity

In episode 02, we discuss the word “humanity” with our guest Tamara Rogers, the Global Chief Marketing Officer for Haleon (formerly GSK Consumer Healthcare).

As someone who works in the healthcare sector, Tamara has always been interested in how to make a difference in the world. She explains why she has chosen such a powerful word and what the concept of “humanity” means to her.

Tamara and Paul touch on many fascinating topics and contemplate on the significant role of marketing, as well as companies and organizations to act in ways that raise the bar when it comes to humanity.

As they enter the realm of Artificial Intelligence, Paul and Tamara look at dehumanization and the good and bad sides of the advances of science and technology. In their highly insightful conversation, we hear many hot questions being asked: Do people need to take personal responsibility for their own humanity? Should we be teaching humanity? How do we fight the inhumane things done in the name of politics and religion? And how do we build humanity from the bottom up or from the heart out?

Following the interview, our guest host Joanna Shiokka reveals how the concept of humanity relates to her native Greek language and culture, while our producer Yuliya reflects on some existential questions that have fascinated the minds of some of the biggest thinkers and philosophers of all time: “What does it mean to be human?” and “What separates us from other species and makes us unique?”.

Later in the podcast, we hear Yuliya dives deep into the world of arts and culture and draws inspiration from famous songs, movies and books that explore the best and the worst of humanity.
