In episode 27 of “Diary of a CHRO,” João Ricardo interviews Ricardo Costa, the Chairman of the Portuguese group Bernardo da Costa and author of the 2024 book A felicidade é lucrativa (which translates to “happiness is profitable”). He has accumulated an audience of over 225,000 followers on LinkedIn.
