In this episode, I dive into the core of what Compassionate Capitalism really means and that’s creating wealth for yourself while lifting up entrepreneurs in the process. One of the most powerful tools we have today to make that happen is crowdfunding investing.
I break down the different types of crowdfunding, and why equity crowdfunding is such a game changer, not just for startups, but for everyday investors who want to put their money to work with meaning.
I also tackle the big question: "Is it risky?" Sure, there are risks, but I explain how to navigate them wisely. More importantly, I stress how critical it is that women and minorities get equal access to these wealth-building opportunities.
If you've ever thought about investing in a way that aligns with your values, this episode is your roadmap. Join me as we explore how you can build wealth with purpose through crowdfunding investing.
Key takeaways from the episode:
Compassionate Capitalism means building wealth while making a difference.
Crowdfunding opens access to early-stage investing for everyone.
Equity crowdfunding lets you own a piece of businesses you believe in.
Education reduces risk and leads to smarter investing.
Inclusive investing helps close the wealth gap.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
