Advocating for Local Empowerment and Education: Insights from Andy Babowski - Part 1

The Mindful Marketplace with Joel Skene

Are you ready to redefine how you view investing, community, and education? Buckle up as we promise an enlightening journey with social entrepreneur and TEDx speaker-to-be, Andy Babowski. We tackle the critical role of local empowerment through housing investment, its potential to ward off inflation, and cooperative ownership's effect on communities. However, we won't shy away from the elephant in the room - the looming national debt and the threat of a market downturn.
The conversation takes an interesting turn as we explore the potential of community investment funds. Andy, with his teaching background and experiences operating in the social enterprise sphere, opens up about how democratizing capital can influence the trajectory of lives in urban public school systems. Using his company, Backers, as an example, we delve into how technology can scale the impact of mentoring. We round off with a thought-provoking discussion on the role of education in social enterprise and how a for-profit, mission-driven approach can be a game-changer. Trust us; you wouldn't want to miss this enlightening conversation!
