Neighborhood Economics: Transforming Local Businesses into Engines of Growth - Part 1

The Mindful Marketplace with Joel Skene

Unlock the secrets to financial empowerment with Michael Shuman, a visionary in the local investment landscape, as we delve into the profound effects of channeling funds into community businesses. Imagine a world where your investment not only yields returns but also fosters job creation and economic growth right where you live. That's the reality we explore in our latest Mindful Marketplace episode, where we discuss the trail Michael has blazed with his pioneering books and how the JOBS Act has revolutionized investment opportunities for everyday citizens.
Feel the pulse of local economies through the inspiring stories of Nova Scotia's neighborhood pension funds like Farmworks, which demonstrate the tangible benefits of investing in small businesses. We compare the substantial tax credits that bolster this regional approach to the hefty expenses incurred by cities vying for corporate behemoths. Our conversation with Michael is more than just an exploration; it's a call to action for listeners to consider the age-old practice of local investment as a means to enrich both their financial health and their communities. Join us for an episode that promises to challenge your perceptions and inspire a new way of thinking about where you put your money.
