Conscious Capitalism As a Business Strategy

In this episode Dori Kafri, CEO of Develeap, hosts Shiri Greenblatt-Zolberg, General Manager of the Center for Fair & Ethical Economy (Conscious Capitalism Israel), for a candid conversation about what conscious capitalism actually looks like inside real businesses. Not as a philosophy. But as operational decisions that shape revenue, retention, leadership, and culture. Together, they explore: * Why most companies confuse goals with purpose * What “people first” really means when hard trade-offs appear * How trust and transparency become measurable leadership choices * What it takes to build an organization designed for the long term At Develeap, these are not abstract ideas. They’re ongoing questions we ask ourselves as we build a company meant to last and to create professional security and meaningful growth for our people. If you care about leadership, culture, and sustainable business strategy, this episode is for you.

The Power of Belonging: What Really Drives People at Work

Dori Kafri, CEO of Develeap, reconnects with his childhood friend Ran Gavish, now a leading organizational consultant with an M.A. in organizational psychology, for a rare, honest conversation about the psychology of work, belonging, and leadership.

For us at Develeap, an employee-owned company built on belonging and shared responsibility, this episode hits close to home. This episode will change how you think about leadership.

What makes a company a truly great workplace: insights from Coface-BDI’s survey

What makes a workplace truly great, and can you really measure it with data? In this episode of Return on Love, Dori Kafri, CEO of develeap, sits down with Daniella Raz from Coface-BDI, Israel’s leading business intelligence and rating firm behind the “Best Companies to Work For” ranking. Together, they explore how surveys and numbers can actually reflect something very human: feeling valued, trusted, and part of something bigger at work. They talk about what Coface-BDI sees again and again in companies that employees love, why “engagement” as a KPI is often not enough, and what it really means to lead with people at the center. Dori also shares how develeap’s people-first, employee-owned model helped the company reach 31st place on the 2025 list of best hi-tech companies to work for in Israel — and why that ranking is a by-product of a much deeper philosophy. Tune in to learn what happens when culture meets data, and why it matters for every leader and every team.
