Neighborhood Economics: Blending Business Acumen with Social Progress

The Mindful Marketplace with Joel Skene

Embark on an exploration of how heartfelt social change can intertwine with shrewd business strategies, as I, Joel Skene, with our partner Neighborhood Economics, host a series that promises to transform how you view community investment. Prepare to have your perceptions challenged by Michael Schuman, the luminary in local investing, who will unveil insights on the JOBS Act and its capacity to fuel community resilience. This episode is a treasure chest of innovative discussions, from the nitty-gritty of public banking to the creation of Diversified Community Investment Funds, aimed at democratizing local investment opportunities.
During our special series, we engage with Sidney Williams Jr., whose profound knowledge of the nexus of spirituality and economic growth provides an unexpected roadmap for enriching communities. His unique perspective on risk, investment, and the healing power of stories in leadership is an invaluable asset to this dialogue. Join us as we journey through the insights of Melissa Devereaux and Stephanie Swepson-Twitty on creating holistic neighborhoods and empowering businesses of color, along with Joe Minicozzi's expertise in urban policy, and Seth Kaplan's comprehensive approach to community betterment. This series is not just a conversation, but a call to action for anyone looking to make a meaningful economic impact in their backyard.
