In this episode of the Future of Finance podcast, Georges Dyer speaks with Cory Donovan, Co-Founder and Senior VP for Community Engagement, and Kafi Lindsay, CEO of ImpactPHL. Together, they explore how place-based impact investing is transforming Philadelphia into a national model for inclusive, regenerative economic development. Cory and Kafi share how ImpactPHL builds awareness, educates investors, and fosters a powerful local ecosystem that aligns capital with community values. From shifting the financial sector toward "one-pocket thinking" to challenging outdated notions of fiduciary duty, this conversation highlights both systemic failures and bold innovations. They unpack how aligning capital with community priorities can address deep-rooted racial and economic inequities—while creating a more sustainable financial system for the future.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
