crowdfund

In this episode of The Compassionate Capitalist Podcast™, host Karen Rands interviews Devin Thorpe, founder of The Super Crowd, a public benefit corporation focused on impact crowdfunding to help diverse founders and social entrepreneurs raise capital. Devin, a champion of social good and a bestselling author, discusses the evolution of crowdfunding and its alignment with his core values and mission to create social impact. As a benefit corporation, he prioritizes social impact over profits and believes crowdfunding provides an avenue to democratize the capital markets and empower underserved founders. The conversation delves into successful social impact of projects funded through crowdfunding and highlights the importance of building a community around these initiatives.

Three takeaways:

1. The Power of Benefit Corporations: Devin Thorpe's choice to lead a benefit corporation demonstrates a commitment to both financial success and positive social impact. Benefit corporations aim to prioritize social and environmental goals, which aligns with Devin's mission to create wealth while driving meaningful change in communities.

2. Crowdfunding for Social Impact: Crowdfunding has evolved into a powerful tool for generating social impact. Through democratizing the capital markets, it allows "main street" investors to invest in projects that align with their values, and it provides opportunities for historically excluded groups, such as women and impact founders, to access funding and create profitable ventures.

3. Building and Shared Purpose: Devin emphasizes the significance of building a community around social impact initiatives. Engaging crowdfunding backers beyond financial contributions nurtures a sense of shared purpose and strengthens the impact of these projects. Creating a community ensures long-term support and amplifies the positive effects of the funded initiatives.

Overall, this episode sheds light on the transformation of crowdfunding from a financial tool to a vehicle for creating social impact, while also exploring the role of benefit corporations in driving purpose-driven entrepreneurship.

Historically, 7 M Americans, with $75K more in income, invest in Real Estate.
The rising cost of real estate and cost of money is pricing new investors out of the market.
Crypto investing is all the rage, but it is so volatile, risky, and time consuming.
I HAVE GOOD NEWS.
There is a little known way to invest, that not only has potential for big returns, but also to bring incredible emotional benefits. It is how the millionaires invest, and when they can invest in anything, why do they invest startups, private early stage companies, growing small businesses, and innovation pioneers?

During this episode, Karen explains how you can own a piece of multiple businesses and share in the success of the entrepreneurs that are building the next big thing, solving big problems, or simply a business down the street that you love already. It is called angel investing, or more common for new investors, crowdfund investing.

Angel investing refers to investing money in start-up companies or early-stage businesses in exchange for ownership equity or convertible debt. The JOBS Act of 2012 made it legal for non-millionaires to invest in startups and early-stage companies, opening up opportunities for anyone to invest in private businesses. Despite this, angel investing remains relatively unknown and misunderstood compared to other investment options.

The Compassionate Capitalist Wealth Maximizing System aims to educate and guide investors in understanding the value and benefits of angel investing. Investing in entrepreneurs can be three times more profitable than traditional investments like real estate or the stock market, and it is no more risky as long as investors build a diversified portfolio.

Four takeaways:

1. Angel investing can be three times more profitable than traditional investments like real estate or the stock market.
2. Angel investing is no more risky than other forms of investing if investors build a diversified portfolio.
3. The JOBS Act of 2012 opened up opportunities for non-millionaires to invest in startups and early-stage companies.
4. Investing in entrepreneurs fuels job creation and innovation, and angel investors play a crucial role in providing the capital needed for startups to grow and succeed.
5. You don't have to be a millionaire to invest like one, and begin to bridge the wealth gap that has grown over the 90 years that 'angel investing' was illegal for the middle class to participate in for building wealth.

Imagine the feeling of investing in a way that had massive impact and a potential pay you back 10x your money. The time is now to find out if Angel Investing / CrowdFunding Investing is the wealth creation strategy for you.  Hear why the most wealthy people invest in entrepreneurs, and you have been told it is riskier than real estate and stocks.  Sign up for the FREE Compassionate Capitalist Wealth Mastery Challenge Power Week.

On October 8, 1988, the Saginaw Police department was contacted by a resident of an Apartment house located in the 400 block of Carroll Street. According to Lieutenant Kendziorski, the resident noticed that one of the apartment doors was ajar. After taking a look inside and seeing what appeared to be a deceased person the resident called the police.  When police arrived they discovered the body of a 16-20 year old african american male, with a shotgun wound to his face.

Saginaw John Doe and his family need our help. If you are interested in helping to crowdfund this case, please visit www.dnasolves.com and click on Saginaw John Doe. Every little bit helps and brings us a step closer to identifying him. 

If you can’t donate but would still like to help, I have created a shareable post with a  link to Saginaw John Doe’s DNAsolves.com page.  You can find it on our True Crime PI Facebook and Instagram pages. Please take a moment to share this post with your friends and followers. Together we can help find the missing , give the unidentified back their names and provide answers to  the families who have been forced to carry the unbearable burden of not knowing. 

As I was editing this episode, I received news that 2 more Does have been identified through DNA profiling and Genetic Genealogical research and one of the identifications has led a suspect being charged with criminal homicide. 

Carbon County (Beth) Doe Identified as Evelyn Colon
Grace Doe Identified as Shawna Garber

These two young women were brutally murdered. Their cases were cold with little hope of ever being solved. Today, they became the perfect example of why identifying the unidentified is so important.

"A New Work Mindset is THE mindset shift we expect of others." - Juan Kingsbury

A New Work Mindset: The Truth About Leaders, Job, and Ourselves at work.

A New Work Mindset is THE mindset shift we expect of others. We, the leaders who expect results and gratitude, yet still managing office drama and incompetence. We, the people who expect leaders who reward the smart and hard working, not enabling manipulators and under-performers. We, the leaders and the people, are in this together - Monday is coming.

DESCRIPTION

In this episode, we invite to the show, Theodore from the Crowdfunded Government project.  We discuss and debate how a concept like crowdfunding could be used to finance government agencies and programs.  Can the coercive nature of taxation be replaced with a voluntary model?  Is there a place for a voluntarily-funded government within the anarchist universe?  Let's take a look!
