Questa settimana entriamo nel vivo della Trasformazione Digitale affrontando temi cruciali come l'AI, i pagamenti, il mondo delle startup e gli analytics, il tutto attraverso la voce dei protagonisti del settore.Ascolta le interviste esclusive con:

Voor zelfstandigen in bijberoep of startende ondernemers met weinig inkomsten zullen accountants of boekhouders niet aandringen om een vennootschap op te richten. Vanuit een fiscaal oogpunt wordt het bij meer inkomsten interessanter om een vennootschap op te richten. De belastingtarieven in de vennootschapsbelasting liggen lager (20 of 25%) dan in de personenbelasting (25, 40, 45 of 50%). Advocaten zullen altijd adviseren om meteen een vennootschap op te richten. Dat advies heeft niet zozeer te maken met belastingen, maar wel met aansprakelijkheid. Bij aansprakelijkheid denken wij aan foute en schade die we berokkenen, maar in het geval van ondernemers gaat het ook om insolventie. Als de onderneming failliet gaat, maakt het een wereld van verschil of de ondernemer een vennootschap heeft, of niet, en welke vennootschap. Met een vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid zoals een bv of een nv kunnen de schuldeisers van uw onderneming via een deurwaarder uw gezinswoning niet leeghalen op zoek naar hun geld. Zonder vennootschap of met een vennootschap met onbeperkte aansprakelijkheid kan dat wel. Ze kunnen zelfs de sleutels van uw woning opeisen, tenzij u via een verklaring bij de notaris deze op voorhand hebt veilig gesteld.

Torna come ospite del programma Davide Longoni: con lui parleremo ovviamente del Panificio Davide Longoni, ma soprattutto del terzo crowdfunding di Breaders, il gruppo italiano che riunisce alcune delle bakery artigianali più innovative del Paese. Nato dall'iniziativa di Forno Brisa (Bologna), Davide Longoni (Milano), Mamm (Udine), Mercato del Pane (Pescara) e Pandefrà (Senigallia), Breaders rappresenta un modello molto interessante: una rete di panifici (e non solo) artigianali che mantengono brand indipendenti e identità territoriali forti, operano insieme come un'unica azienda, condividendo strumenti e servizi centralizzati tipici delle medie-grandi aziende. L'equity crowdfunding è in corso su MamaCrowd. A cura di Niccolò Vecchia

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with manifestation expert Nick Breau to explore the mechanics behind creating the reality you want, without the struggle, force, or confusion that trips so many of us up.​Nick shares his journey from tech startup acquisition to becoming a sought-after manifestation coach who's had multiple seven-figure manifestations and has sat in the hot seat with Abraham Hicks over a dozen times. His lovely partner Anik now channels like Esther Hicks, giving him access to regular channeling sessions that inform his work.​What We Cover:

On today's episode, we welcome the dynamic duo, Lily Yasuda and Michael Wolfe, two inspiring filmmakers who have decided to take the road less traveled by creating their own feature film, Like Love. Their journey is one of collaboration, determination, and creativity—filled with moments of laughter and the occasional unexpected hurdle.From the outset, you'll sense the chemistry between Lily and Michael. They first crossed paths during their time at Chapman University, bonding over vulnerable and humorous writing assignments in a creative writing class. Their shared passion for storytelling sparked not only a friendship but also a creative partnership. This partnership culminated in the idea for Like Love, a project born out of their desire to challenge traditional romantic comedy tropes.“We wanted to tell a story that feels real and honest,” Lily shares, “about friendships and the complexities of human connection.”At its heart, Like Love is what they call an “anti-romantic comedy.” Drawing inspiration from classics like When Harry Met Sally, Lily and Michael aim to flip the script on the genre. Instead of perpetuating the myth that friendship between men and women inevitably leads to romance, their film explores the beauty of platonic relationships. As Michael explains, “It's about two friends trying to fall in love and realizing they're better off as friends. That's the kind of story we don't see enough.”Their filmmaking journey hasn't been without its challenges. Crowdfunding has been a pivotal part of bringing Like Love to life. Lily and Michael describe the process as “a full-time job in itself,” requiring not only meticulous planning but also a willingness to be vulnerable and open about their creative vision. They've leaned heavily on their network for support, finding generosity in unexpected places.“The community in Boise has been incredible,” says Lily. “People here are so supportive, offering locations, resources, and even homemade meals for the crew.”Despite the logistical hurdles, their passion for storytelling shines through. Michael, the film's director, admits that directing a micro-budget feature comes with unique pressures. “We're all wearing multiple hats,” he notes, “but it's an amazing experience to work so closely with a team that believes in the project.” Lily, who also stars as the film's lead, balances her roles as actor, writer, and producer with grace, emphasizing the importance of collaboration in every aspect of the project.As they reflect on their experiences, one thing becomes clear: Like Love is more than just a film; it's a testament to the power of community and perseverance. Lily and Michael hope their story inspires other aspiring filmmakers to take the leap. “Making a movie isn't easy,” Lily acknowledges, “but if you're passionate about your story, you'll find a way to make it happen.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.

We also dive into how to get your film financed! Private Equity, Investors, Crowdfunding! You want to make a movie? This is how you do it!

In Crowded Out: The True Costs of Crowdfunding Healthcare (MIT Press, 2024), Dr. Nora Kenworthy presents an eye-opening investigation into charitable crowdfunding for healthcare in the United States—and the consequences of allowing healthcare access to be decided by the digital crowd. Over the past decade, charitable crowdfunding has exploded in popularity across the globe. Sites such as GoFundMe, which now boasts a “global community of over 100 million” users, have transformed the ways we seek and offer help. When faced with crises—especially medical ones—Americans are turning to online platforms that promise to connect them to the charity of the crowd. What does this new phenomenon reveal about the changing ways we seek and provide healthcare? In Crowded Out, Dr. Kenworthy examines how charitable crowdfunding so quickly overtook public life, where it is taking us, and who gets left behind by this new platformed economy.Although crowdfunding has become ubiquitous in our lives, it is often misunderstood: rather than a friendly free market “powered by the kindness” of strangers, crowdfunding is powerfully reinforcing inequalities and changing the way Americans think about and access healthcare. Drawing on extensive research and rich storytelling, Crowded Out demonstrates how crowdfunding for health is fueled by—and further reinforces—financial and moral “toxicities” in market-based healthcare systems. It offers a unique and distressing look beneath the surface of some of the most popular charitable platforms and helps to foster thoughtful discussions of how we can better respond to healthcare crises both small and large. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Send us a text! We'd love to hear your thoughts on the show.If you've ever wondered whether self-publishing is “worth it,” or felt overwhelmed by all the moving parts—editing, design, distribution, marketing—this episode is for you. I'm joined by Leanne Janzen of FriesenPress, the author-services arm of Friesens Corporation, a century-old Canadian printer trusted by traditional publishers and indie authors alike. Leanne has worn multiple hats—from publishing specialist to leading a sales team—and she's passionate about demystifying today's publishing landscape so writers can make informed, confident choices.We start by clearing up an old term—“vanity publishing.” In 2025, it's out of date. Leanne breaks the indie space into two practical paths: DIY self-publishing and service-provider self-publishing. With DIY, you're the project manager: you learn what you can, hire freelancers (editor, formatter, cover designer), and quarterback the whole timeline. It can be empowering—but also time-intensive and overwhelming, especially for first-timers. With a reputable service provider, you still retain creative control (yes, you can reject a cover or choose your price!), but you also get a dedicated project manager, pre-vetted editors and designers, and quality checks at each stage so you don't miss critical steps.We dig into costs and transparency. Expect a range: a basic path without editing at FriesenPress sits around $2,200, while a premium, all-in “masterpiece” path (specialty cover, three rounds of editing, promo coaching, social planning, promos) can reach $15,000. Industry-wide, a commonly cited average to produce a quality book is $5–6K—and if you're spending in that zone with a service provider, Leanne says at least one round of editing should be included.

What happens when a fundraiser decides to end one of higher ed's most sacred traditions—the senior giving campaign? In this episode, Safaniya sits down with Alex Rodríguez from UC Berkeley, who made the bold move to shut it down and rebuild student giving from the ground up. From pandemic pivots to Mario-inspired metaphors, Alex shares how he turned a once-obligatory tradition into a culture of authentic student philanthropy. Tune in to hear how rethinking generosity, meeting students where they are, and redefining “giving” beyond dollars changed the game entirely.Guest Name: Alex Rodríguez, Assistant Director, Digital Campaigns, University of California, BerkeleyGuest Social: https://www.linkedin.com/in/safaniyastevenson/Guest Bio: Alex Rodríguez engages all generations of the Cal community through digital marketing and social media for crowdfunding and giving days as UC Berkeley's Assistant Director, Digital Campaigns. After overhauling student philanthropy through social content creation and digital giving, Alex now oversees the Crowdfunding program, launching and marketing ~80 projects and raising over $1 million annually. Throughout his different roles at Berkeley, Alex helped pioneer social media strategy in fundraising at his alma mater - he created the school's first Instagram Reel! Alex uses his passion for social media (and chronically online experience) to put the “fun” back in fundraising at Berkeley.Outside of his professional life, Alex loves to express himself creatively through thrifted fashion, dance, and TikTok, and can likely be found listening to K-Pop at any given moment.

Parole Sepolte è la storia di un'umanità che rifiuta il giogo dell'oppressione e contro un potere soverchiante si organizza e collabora, scopre e impara. Ma è anche la storia di umani come Ryeles, Zahari e Tesfaj che cercano un significato e un ruolo in un mondo che sta per morire.

Of je nu als team of als solopreneur aan de slag bent: het is nooit een slecht idee om u in te bedden in een ecosysteem met andere ondernemers die in min of meer dezelfde fase zitten of min of meer in hetzelfde domein actief zijn. Daarvoor kunt u bijvoorbeeld terecht bij gespecialiseerde netwerken, incubatoren of acceleratoren zoals Start it @KBC. Niet elk bedrijf kan terecht bij Start it @KBC. Alleen innovatieve bedrijven maken kans op een plek in het programma. Wat heeft het programma in huis, waardoor ondernemers een versnelling hoger kunnen schakelen? Een netwerk van mentoren, vaak alumni van het programma, en experten, een opleidingsaanbod én een co-working. Het zijn wellicht vooral de peers die ondernemers vooruit stuwen. Toevallige ontmoetingen aan de koffiepot zorgen voor kruisbestuivingen. Collega-ondernemers die bepaalde veronderstellingen of denkbeelden in vraag durven stellen en uitdagen. Net zoals mensen die gewicht willen verliezen bij de diëtist op de weegschaal moeten, moeten de ondernemers aan elkaar rapporteren over hun vooruitgang en het al dan niet halen van de tussentijdse doelstellingen.

Tyler hosts a roundtable discussion featuring Zak Mudie and his partner Jaden Molina, creators of Citadel Pulsar: The Last Ethereal, along with Laurie Foster, the founder of Laguna Studios. We also welcome the prolific Mr. Fish, creator of Alice Lost in Wonderland. Learn about their latest Kickstarter projects, the challenges they've faced, and valuable insights into the world of indie comics.

Cartoonist-playwright-filmmaker Dean Haspiel rejoins the show for the homestretch of his new Kickstarter, ANTIMATTER (finishing Nov. 3, 2025), and brings his studio mate Whitney Matheson along to talk about her new story collection, THE FEELING.

In today's episode, Greg Burke, Assistant Professor of Accounting and Business Law at Loyola University Chicago, highlighted a key finding from his research: less than a third of crowdfunding issuers file their required annual reports on time, and fewer than half ever do.Greg explained that this lack of compliance undermines investor trust and market legitimacy. “Investors are looking for regulation crowdfunding annual reports,” he said. “Sometimes they're just not finding it. If investors are demanding it and they're not getting it, it certainly may impact their investment decisions and the potential growth in this market.”The consequences of this gap in transparency are significant. As Greg noted, compliance with annual reporting requirements provides investors with critical information to make better decisions. This transparency fosters trust, encourages repeat investments, and helps attract new capital to the space.Greg's research also uncovered ways to increase compliance. In a field experiment conducted with King's Crowd, a marketing campaign emphasized the regulatory risks of failing to comply with reporting requirements. This simple approach increased compliance by 20%. “A simple email reminder tailored towards emphasizing regulatory risk can make a difference,” Greg said.Platforms and intermediaries also play a critical role. Greg suggested that crowdfunding platforms could incorporate reporting support into their services, either by helping issuers directly or partnering with third-party providers. He noted that the process doesn't have to be costly or complicated. “There are services out there that can provide these reports for less than a thousand dollars,” Greg explained.By addressing this issue, we could unlock the full potential of regulated crowdfunding. Transparent reporting not only satisfies investor demand but also legitimizes the marketplace, opening doors for more diverse founders and innovative solutions to access much-needed capital.Improving compliance with reporting requirements might seem like a small step, but it's a foundational one. As Greg put it, “Any kind of movement in this space to increase reporting compliance only adds legitimacy to the space.”tl;dr:Greg Burke highlights low compliance with annual reporting requirements in the regulated crowdfunding market.Improved compliance fosters investor trust and market growth, benefiting entrepreneurs and diverse founders.Greg's research shows emphasizing regulatory risks can increase reporting compliance by 20%.Crowdfunding platforms and third-party services can simplify compliance for resource-constrained entrepreneurs.Greg's superpower is making complex topics relatable by tailoring messages to his audience's needs.How to Develop Making Complex Concepts Relatable As a SuperpowerGreg's superpower is making complex, seemingly dull topics engaging, relatable, and accessible. As Greg explained, “I think what I've come down to is making seemingly uninteresting, confusing, or unimportant things seem interesting, understandable, and relevant.” He emphasized that the key to this skill lies in understanding the audience, creating an engaging environment, and translating complicated ideas into relatable concepts.Illustrative Story:Greg shared an example from his classroom, where he taught students about safeguarding assets, a topic that might seem boring at first glance. By comparing company practices to personal experiences—like hiding cash from a roommate—he made the concept tangible and easy to understand. Through relatable analogies, Greg transformed a dry academic topic into a conversation his students could connect with and apply.Actionable Tips for Developing the Superpower:Know Your Audience: Understand what matters to the people you're speaking to and tailor your message.Make It Relatable: Use analogies or examples drawn from everyday life to explain complex ideas.Create an Open Environment: Foster a safe, genuine, and engaging space to encourage curiosity and interaction.Observe and Adjust: Pay attention to how people respond to your explanations and refine your approach accordingly.Be Brave: Don't be afraid to try new ways of communicating, even if it doesn't work perfectly the first time.By following Greg's example and advice, you can make “making complex concepts relatable” a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

Acheter un château avec sa communauté d'auditeurs, lever 1,3 million d'€ en 7 jours, vivre un crowdfunding à rebondissements, convaincre Léonardo Di Caprio d'être invité d'honneur à l'inauguration… Ce n'est pas un scénario Netflix, c'est l'histoire vraie de Jérémy Nabais, podcasteur , créateur de contenus et entrepreneur dans l'immobilier.Dans cet épisode, Jérémy raconte comment son podcast a changé sa vie et l'a mené à un projet aussi fou qu'inspirant : rénover un château, en faire une aventure collective, qu'il documente en mode build in public via son podcast "Ça fait un bail !" et son compte Instagram "Chateau Story".Dans cette conversation ultra transparente, on parle de :l'impact concret d'un podcast sur son projet entrepreneurial,comment il a eu l'idée d'acheter un chateau, et de mobiliser sa communauté pour financer l'achat,les coulisses d'un crowdfunding en 7 jours chrono,les moments de galère où tout aurait pu s'arrêter,et les stratégies qu'il utilise aujourd'hui pour entretenir l'élan, fédérer autour du projet dans la duréeÀ écouter si tu te demandes :→ comment passer d'un podcast à un projet collectif ambitieux,→ comment créer une dynamique communautaire forte (même avec peu de moyens),→ et comment assumer une vision très personnelle… sans jamais faire de compromis sur l'authenticité.Jérémy partage avec générosité, recul et une bonne dose d'humour les leçons de son aventure entrepreneuriale bien rocambolesque.

Twee sprekende cijfers op de website van NOA (het vroeger Netwerk Ondernemen): “90 procent van de start-ups faalt, maar met een co-founder aan je zijde verhoog je de slaagkans” en “40 procent van de co-founderrelaties loopt spaak na gemiddeld twee jaar”. Via welke platformen kunnen ondernemers op zoek gaan naar andere ondernemers om mee samen te werken? LinkedIn, Facebook, netwerken voor ondernemers, matchingprogramma's, enzovoort. Met twee of met drie kun je meer werk verzetten dan alleen, maar voor een goed draaiend team moeten een aantal voorwaarden ingevuld zijn. Ieder lid van het team moet dezelfde passie hebben, bereid zijn te werken aan een oplossing voor hetzelfde probleem. Volgens Sabine Eevers moeten oprichters eerlijk antwoorden op een aantal vragen. “Wat is de dieper liggende behoefte of het belang? Soms wordt dat de why (waarom) genoemd of de purpose (doelstelling)? Welk probleem wil je oplossen? Maar ook welk soort bedrijf wil je uitbouwen? Komen jullie waarden en normen overeen? Welke bedrijfscultuur wil je? Wat kan absoluut niet door de beugel voor de ene of de andere? Wie gaat welke rol binnen het bedrijf op zich nemen? Je moet die grote droom echt scherpstellen en visies aligneren. Anders wordt het ontzettend moeilijk om vooruitgang te boeken. Als partners niet volledig op dezelfde golflengte zitten of niet voldoende complementair zijn in de zogenoemde hard skills dan zijn jullie misschien niet de meest ideale partners om van start te gaan.” In Trends podcasts vind je alle podcasts van Trends en Trends Z, netjes geordend volgens publicatie.

Jenny: Inclusive capital advocacy.The future of regulated investment crowdfunding is being shaped not just by markets but by the voices that advocate for fair, effective policies in Washington. Jenny Kassan, President of the Crowdfunding Professional Association (CfPA), has emerged as a leading champion of this work. The association's upcoming summit and the advocacy efforts that precede it illustrate the growing momentum behind this movement.Jenny explained, “The Crowdfunding Professional Association represents the crowdfunding industry, the regulated investment crowdfunding industry. This is everyone who's involved in trying to make it easier for small businesses, entrepreneurs, changemakers, artists, everyone who has the ability to offer an investment opportunity to be able to offer it to everybody, everybody in the country.”The October summit in Washington, D.C., highlights the growing traction of this movement. Jenny shared that this year, the CfPA is securing more meetings with members of Congress and the Senate who influence financial market rules. That progress signals a growing recognition of the industry's role in democratizing access to capital.Speakers at the summit will include SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, known for her balanced approach to fostering innovation while maintaining sensible regulation, and James Murphy from FINRA, the body overseeing day-to-day regulation of crowdfunding platforms. These perspectives, alongside industry leaders like Mark Elenowitz, will help issuers, investors, and platforms better navigate the complex regulatory landscape.Jenny was candid about the rapid changes unfolding in this space, especially around emerging technologies like crypto. “The industry is really evolving quickly. Even though there haven't been any law changes yet, there's been a huge, huge evolution and rapid change in the space,” she noted. Panels on crypto and digital assets will explore how innovation intersects with regulation, underscoring the importance of ongoing dialogue with policymakers.The CfPA summit is more than a conference. It is the culmination of months of advocacy, uniting stakeholders to strengthen the rules that govern investment crowdfunding. By convening entrepreneurs, investors, regulators, and industry professionals, the event will serve as a platform to share knowledge, influence policy, and build momentum for greater capital access.Jenny's leadership highlights that regulated investment crowdfunding is still young but brimming with potential. Her efforts—and those of the CfPA—help ensure the system grows into a tool that works for everyone.tl;dr:Jenny Kassan explained how the Crowdfunding Professional Association advocates in Washington to strengthen rules for regulated investment crowdfunding.She shared details about the upcoming summit, including meetings with legislators, regulators, and key industry experts.Jenny emphasized the importance of balanced regulation, highlighting insights from SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce and FINRA's James Murphy.She described how crowdfunding empowers underrepresented entrepreneurs, often outperforming traditional fundraising sources like venture capital and banks.Jenny encouraged participation in the CfPA and its summit, reminding listeners that inclusive access to capital benefits everyone.How to Develop Inclusive Capital Advocacy As a SuperpowerJenny described her superpower as her ability to advocate for inclusive access to capital. She explained that her passion lies in helping entrepreneurs—especially those underrepresented in traditional finance—gain the resources they need to thrive. As she put it, “We see like women, people of color, people that don't come from the top schools or from wealthy families often are quite successful with regulation crowdfunding, sometimes even more so. That's the reason I love the tool so much.”Her superpower is evident in her consistent championing of entrepreneurs who face barriers to traditional funding. By focusing on regulated investment crowdfunding, she empowers founders to bypass gatekeepers and reach communities of investors who share their vision.One story illustrates this clearly: Jenny highlighted data showing that diverse and under-resourced founders often raise more successfully through crowdfunding than through venture capital, angel groups, or banks. That success proves that crowdfunding levels the playing field. For Jenny, seeing women and people of color outperform traditional fundraising norms affirms the power of her mission.Jenny offered valuable insights for developing this superpower:Recognize who is excluded by traditional systems and design new ways to include them.Focus on building tools and structures that make participation easier for everyone.Ground advocacy in data that demonstrates success outside the status quo.Persist in championing change even when mainstream systems resist.By following Jenny's example and advice, you can make inclusive capital advocacy a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

Jenny: Inclusive capital advocacy.The future of regulated investment crowdfunding is being shaped not just by markets but by the voices that advocate for fair, effective policies in Washington. Jenny Kassan, President of the Crowdfunding Professional Association (CfPA), has emerged as a leading champion of this work. The association's upcoming summit and the advocacy efforts that precede it illustrate the growing momentum behind this movement.Jenny explained, “The Crowdfunding Professional Association represents the crowdfunding industry, the regulated investment crowdfunding industry. This is everyone who's involved in trying to make it easier for small businesses, entrepreneurs, changemakers, artists, everyone who has the ability to offer an investment opportunity to be able to offer it to everybody, everybody in the country.”The October summit in Washington, D.C., highlights the growing traction of this movement. Jenny shared that this year, the CfPA is securing more meetings with members of Congress and the Senate who influence financial market rules. That progress signals a growing recognition of the industry's role in democratizing access to capital.Speakers at the summit will include SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, known for her balanced approach to fostering innovation while maintaining sensible regulation, and James Murphy from FINRA, the body overseeing day-to-day regulation of crowdfunding platforms. These perspectives, alongside industry leaders like Mark Elenowitz, will help issuers, investors, and platforms better navigate the complex regulatory landscape.Jenny was candid about the rapid changes unfolding in this space, especially around emerging technologies like crypto. “The industry is really evolving quickly. Even though there haven't been any law changes yet, there's been a huge, huge evolution and rapid change in the space,” she noted. Panels on crypto and digital assets will explore how innovation intersects with regulation, underscoring the importance of ongoing dialogue with policymakers.The CfPA summit is more than a conference. It is the culmination of months of advocacy, uniting stakeholders to strengthen the rules that govern investment crowdfunding. By convening entrepreneurs, investors, regulators, and industry professionals, the event will serve as a platform to share knowledge, influence policy, and build momentum for greater capital access.Jenny's leadership highlights that regulated investment crowdfunding is still young but brimming with potential. Her efforts—and those of the CfPA—help ensure the system grows into a tool that works for everyone.tl;dr:Jenny Kassan explained how the Crowdfunding Professional Association advocates in Washington to strengthen rules for regulated investment crowdfunding.She shared details about the upcoming summit, including meetings with legislators, regulators, and key industry experts.Jenny emphasized the importance of balanced regulation, highlighting insights from SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce and FINRA's James Murphy.She described how crowdfunding empowers underrepresented entrepreneurs, often outperforming traditional fundraising sources like venture capital and banks.Jenny encouraged participation in the CfPA and its summit, reminding listeners that inclusive access to capital benefits everyone.How to Develop Inclusive Capital Advocacy As a SuperpowerJenny described her superpower as her ability to advocate for inclusive access to capital. She explained that her passion lies in helping entrepreneurs—especially those underrepresented in traditional finance—gain the resources they need to thrive. As she put it, “We see like women, people of color, people that don't come from the top schools or from wealthy families often are quite successful with regulation crowdfunding, sometimes even more so. That's the reason I love the tool so much.”Her superpower is evident in her consistent championing of entrepreneurs who face barriers to traditional funding. By focusing on regulated investment crowdfunding, she empowers founders to bypass gatekeepers and reach communities of investors who share their vision.One story illustrates this clearly: Jenny highlighted data showing that diverse and under-resourced founders often raise more successfully through crowdfunding than through venture capital, angel groups, or banks. That success proves that crowdfunding levels the playing field. For Jenny, seeing women and people of color outperform traditional fundraising norms affirms the power of her mission.Jenny offered valuable insights for developing this superpower:Recognize who is excluded by traditional systems and design new ways to include them.Focus on building tools and structures that make participation easier for everyone.Ground advocacy in data that demonstrates success outside the status quo.Persist in championing change even when mainstream systems resist.By following Jenny's example and advice, you can make inclusive capital advocacy a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

We're crowdfunding for our next adaptation, which is FRANKENSTEIN!Find out more (and support our new show) at igg.me/at/refrank.In this trailer you heard Sena Bryer as Victor Frankenstein and Josie D. Sumner as The Monster. Dialogue editing and sound design by Stephen Indrisano. Music by Amber Devereux. Transcript here. More about Re: Frankenstein:Re: Frankenstein is an audio adaptation of Frankenstein from the team behind Re: Dracula and Re: Carmilla. We had such a great time adapting these two gothic novels and we can't wait to take on something less vampiric and a little more… monstrous? Or perhaps it's a little more human.This show will be a faithful, text-accurate adaptation of Mary Shelly's novel, featuring a full cast to tug on your heartstrings and sound design to keep you on the edge of your seat. Featuring a award winning all-trans cast, Re: Frankenstein will bring this Gothic masterpiece to glorious un-life. Did you love The Magnus Archives, The Silt Verses, Camlann, The Sheridan Tapes, or Midnight Burger? What about Final Fantasy XIV, Zombies Run, or Marvel Move? Voice actors from all these productions are part of Re: Frankenstein! And that's not to mention our crew, who can be found behind shows like The Bright Sessions, The Tower, ROGUEMAKER, Shelterwood, Inn Between, and Someone Dies In This Elevator. Each chapter of Frankenstein is an episode of Re: Frankenstein. Content warnings will be present at the top of episodes, where needed.  Re: Frankenstein will be released for free, but those who help us fund the project will get additional perks, including a full audiobook, digital downloads, shout-outs, and more! The cast of Re: Frankenstein will consist entirely of transgender voice actors. We believe that now is the time to lift and celebrate trans voices and artists; to tell stories about monsters and those who get to define them; and to pay everyone involved a fair and equitable wage. Your support will go directly towards our incredible cast and crew.  Find us online:Patreon: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/redracula⁠Merch: ⁠https://store.dftba.com/collections/re-dracula⁠Website: ⁠www.ReDracula.live⁠Tumblr: ⁠https://www.tumblr.com/re-dracula⁠Bloody Disgusting Website: ⁠www.Bloody-Disgusting.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
