Reimagining a New Economy w/ Kevin Doyle-Jones - Part 1

The Mindful Marketplace with Joel Skene

Picture a world where mission-driven land acquisition levels the playing field for small businesses against big corporations. Imagine if economic justice was not just a buzzword, but a tangible outcome of innovative financial solutions. This is not a dream, it's the vision of our guest, Kevin Doyle-Jones, the founder of the Impact Investing Conference known as SOCAP.
We kick things off by discussing the enormous power of impact investing and its potential to challenge the dominance of big banks. Kevin shares intriguing insights about how big banks' skewed interest rates influence the economic landscape. The conversation takes a joyful turn as we share the heartwarming news of medical debt cancellation for Columbus, Ohio residents. Kevin and I then challenge the traditional investing concept of 'two-pocket thinking'. We unveil how this mindset led us to start a conference, offering a fresh perspective on investing, philanthropy, and economic justice.
As we move further, we take a critical look at the traditional business school education and its potential disconnect with the realities of today's economy. We question BB&T Bank's substantial donation to a program advocating Ayn Rand's philosophies, and the potential implications it may have on future business leaders. But it's not all critique! We end on a positive note, envisioning the potential of a new economy and how SOCAP is a driving force in this evolution. Join us next week as we continue to explore this exciting frontier of impact investing and economic justice.
