Gravity CEO Dan Price gets a lot of interview requests. In addition to queries from various media outlets, he also regularly receives emails from business owners and business students who want to learn more about our $70,000 minimum wage. Although these conversations are usually private, they often reveal insights into our policy and how we’ve managed to make it a success that traditional and social media commentary usually miss.

Recently, Dan was approached by Chris Wayne, a military veteran who is currently studying business at the University of Southern California. For one of his classes, Chris was tasked with interviewing a CEO and reached out to Dan. In a wide-ranging conversation, Chris and Dan discussed why income inequality in America is so harmful to our society and economy and what it is really going to take to solve this crisis at a systemic level. Hint: it’s going to take a lot more than one CEO deciding to pay a living wage to all of their employees.
