  • A Portrait of Transformation in Action

    A Portrait of Transformation in Action
    May 20 2015
    What is it like to lead life constantly calling on the powers of transformation? What are the gifts and the trials of such a path? This week I speak with a fairly new acquaintance, Austin Szelkowski. I am intrigued by the little slices of Austin’s story I’ve been exposed to, and I have been impressed with his level of awareness and integrity in our interactions. I hope you’ll join me in getting to know Austin a little better too, and perhaps in the process we can learn from an up and coming artist of transformation!

  • You Have the Power to Transform Financial Systems?

    You Have the Power to Transform Financial Systems?
    May 13 2015
    When we think about changes that are needed in our world, I often think about the financial systems that are not set up to truly support and sustain all humans. Here is an area ripe for transformation. And like many of our other conversations on this show, we look at the personal within the context of the culture and systems. Regardless of your financial situation, how financially literate are you? Do you know how the financial systems work, do you know what your money is doing? Join me as I speak with Angela Barbash, founder of Reconsider, an impact economy research and development firm, co-founder of Revalue, a registered investment advisory firm and she co-launched the Detroit Regional Chapter of the Social Enterprise Alliance. Angela is passionate about empowering people through knowledge and she is a thought leader in financial education, local investing, social impact investing, and creating ways to serve values-driven investors.
