At Third Side Strategies, we focus on providing support to companies, boards, and investors in making the hard decisions about when and how their companies engage in the public sphere. The best way to understand how to implement what we call corporate political responsibility governance is to see what it looks like in real life. That is why we are so fortunate to have been able to sit down with Jonathan Johnson, former Chairman and CEO of Overstock, active board member, and former Utah gubernatorial candidate, to talk about his experiences putting the third side into action.
