The Real Problem with CEO Pay, and Why Young Men Don’t Volunteer Anymore

May 25, 2026

Summary

Scott Galloway argues for progressive taxation on CEO equity rather than pay caps, citing the widening wealth gap. He discusses incentivizing young men for community service by framing it as status-building rather than just nurturing. Finally, he advises business owners to leverage high-performing employees whose goals diverge from the core mission, provided they generate significant revenue.
