What if equity could move as fast as code? Most founders spend thousands on lawyers, cap table management, and outdated infrastructure just to raise money and distribute equity. Joris Delanoue thinks that's ridiculous. As co-founder and CEO of Fairmint, he's building the rails to move private equity onto the blockchain, turning cap tables into smart contracts and making ownership as easy to transfer as sending an email. In this episode of Rising Tide Startups, Joris shares his journey from being a serial entrepreneur in France to a blockchain pioneer in Silicon Valley. After selling multiple companies and experiencing the pain of locked-up investments and cap tables that were impossible to manage, he moved to the US with one goal: to fix capitalism. What started as an idea for a startup exchange using SPVs evolved into Fairmint, a platform that's already moved over $1 billion in equity onto the blockchain. Joris breaks down why blockchain is the superior technology for securities, how Fairmint is deintermediating traditional finance without sacrificing compliance, and why privacy features like zero-knowledge proofs are unlocking trillions of dollars in institutional capital. He also discusses the shift from infrastructure as CapEx to OpEx, and how transfer agents are suddenly the most sought-after role in finance. Additionally, he shares his belief that entrepreneurship changes the world faster than politics ever will. Key Takeaways: Blockchain is a superior infrastructure for equity. Just like cloud computing replaced private servers, blockchain will replace traditional financial rails because it's faster, cheaper, and more efficient. Cap tables should be smart contracts. Moving equity onto the blockchain eliminates intermediaries, reduces costs, and makes ownership programmable and liquid. Compliance is a feature, not a bug. Being an SEC-registered transfer agent means investors don't lose their assets if they lose their private keys. You can always recover securities with proper ID. Infrastructure can become a profit center. With the right tokenomics, what used to be operational expenses can now generate revenue instead of costing money. Equity should be accessible to everyone. Employees, contractors, partners, and community members who contribute value should be able to participate in the financial upside. Entrepreneurship beats politics. As a founder, you can impact billions of people through what you build, the values you embed, and the vision you execute.   Listen to the full conversation here: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@risingtidestartups Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rising-tide-startups/id1330525474 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2eq7unl70TRPsBhjLEsNZR   Connect with Joris: Fairmint: https://www.fairmint.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/delanoue/ Closing thought: "The worst thing you can do is not know what to do and start chasing rabbits.

What does it take to build a truly inclusive, culturally competent organization where burnout isn't the norm — but the exception?In this episode of Nonprofit Nation, I'm joined by Dr. Rick Rodriguez, Co-Founder and Learning Partner at The Rooted Life — a first-generation, LGBTQ+, minority-founded, bilingual coaching and consulting organization that centers people, culture, and identity at the heart of leadership.With over 20 years of experience supporting schools, nonprofits, and mission-driven organizations, Rick offers a healing-centered, equity-driven approach to leadership and organizational development.

There's no single fix to closing gaps in health care outcomes, says Dr. Maureen Bell, physician director of community impact at Vituity, where she leads efforts to identify and eliminate health disparities.  “There are multiple things that we have to work on,” Bell says, including increasing diversity in the healthcare workforce and educating providers on strategies for providing equitable care and considering the “whole patient.” Bell spoke with Movement Is Life's Dr. Joyce Knestrick about how systemic bias, lack of representation, and community barriers shape the care patients receive.  She said inequities persist because too often, health systems focus narrowly on medical interventions while overlooking social factors — such as affordability, access, transportation, and the environments in which people live. The 2025 Movement Is Life Annual Summit will take place on Friday, Nov. 14, 2025, in Washington, DC. This year's theme is “Combating Health Disparities: The Power of Movement in Community.” Registration is now open. Visit movementislifecommunity.org for more information.

This week, in Episode 270, we dig into employee ownership with two people who've lived it: Kris Maynard and Justin Jordan of Cathedral Holdings, a 100-percent employee-owned ESOP since 2011. Kris and Justin are enthusiastic proponents of ESOPs, but they're also candid about what can go wrong. Yes, ESOPs come with big tax advantages. But the transaction can be complex. The debt can fundamentally change the risk profile of a business. And perhaps the most under-discussed challenge of all: not all employees embrace employee ownership. Some see it as little more than a glorified retirement plan. And here's the thing: an ESOP can be a far riskier retirement plan than many understand. They differ from 401(k)s in that there's no regulation requiring an ESOP to sequester its employees' retirement funds. If the company fails—and like all businesses, ESOPs do fail—those nest eggs can vanish. Kris and Justin explain how they've addressed these issues and what they might do differently if they were starting over. They also emphasize an important point: Not all ESOPs are created equal. “If you've seen one ESOP,” Justin likes to say, “you've seen one ESOP.”

Together, they explore how one of the nation's most renowned cultural institutions is transforming museum education through live virtual programming—making world-class art accessible to students anywhere.Museums have long been seen as places you must visit in person to truly experience their magic. But how can educators bring the depth, texture, and storytelling of art to students who may never set foot in a gallery? Traditional outreach—slideshows, static images, or “loan boxes”—often fails to capture the atmosphere, intimacy, and discovery of the real museum experience.Cassie and Lauren share how the MFA Boston reimagined its approach by taking students inside the galleries through interactive live video sessions. Using simple technology—an iPad on a mobile tripod—they bring artworks, curators, and educators directly to classrooms. Students not only see art up close but also hear the sounds of visitors and experience the living energy of the museum.They discuss how this approach:Deepens students' curiosity and contextual understanding of art.Extends the museum's mission by reaching beyond geography and accessibility barriers.Creates hybrid experiences where virtual and in-person visits enrich one another.Builds relationships—teachers and students often recognize Lauren as a “celebrity” when they visit in person!Strengthens collaboration with Boston Public Schools, ensuring alignment between curriculum, distance learning, and professional development.For educators and cultural organizations, the MFA's model offers a powerful lesson: distance learning doesn't replace the field trip—it multiplies it. Start small. Use simple, mobile setups. Focus on creating authentic connections rather than high-tech production. Whether you're teaching art, science, or history, virtual access can spark awe, equity, and engagement in ways that complement, not compete with, in-person learning.Episode Links:Museum of Fine Arts, Boston – Distance Learning ProgramsHost Links:Discover more virtual learning opportunities and resources at CILC.org with Tami Moehring and Allyson Mitchell.Seth Fleischauer's Banyan Global Learning provides meaningful global learning experiences that prepare students across the globe for success in an interconnected world.

Spencer Dennis was an elite golfer whose playing career ended with spine surgery in his teens. He became a tour-level coach, running high-performance programs for juniors, college players, and pros. Managing parents, trainers, and recruiters through texts and email was chaos, so he built CoachNow to guide athletes between sessions.  CoachNow caught on quickly with busy coaches. Then a run of decisions—turning off revenue under "grow fast" advice, stacking convertibles and preferences, and accepting stock-for-stock deals—left Spencer with little to show for a product customers loved. This is a cautionary tale for any owner negotiating with "sophisticated" investors.

Archer Aviation (ACHR) narrowed losses on earnings, though Sam Vadas points to other announcements causing the stock to sell off Friday. A combination of an equity raise and a $126 million deal to buy Los Angeles' Hawthorne Airport caused concern for shareholders.

In this final episode of Season 3 of Tech It to the Limit, hosts Sarah Harper and Elliott Wilson go global and get grounded with a very special guest. After sharing travel tales from Germany and the HLTH conference, Sarah and Elliott debut their new game, “Trust-O-Meter,” rating real-world health tech scandals and solutions on a scale from “hospital stairwell cell signal” to “grandma's green bean casserole.”Then, they sit down with Dr. David Rhew, Global Chief Medical Officer at Microsoft, for a wide-ranging, surprisingly personal conversation on everything from his pivot from academia to industry ( a VA grant pushed him out) to the future of oculomics, voice biomarkers, and responsible AI. Dr. Rhew breaks down the three layers of bias, explains why implementation is everything, and doesn't shy away from the hard truth about AI and the future of the healthcare workforce. It's a deep, funny, and profoundly human conversation to close out the season.The episode wraps with Wise Nugs and a final health tech haiku, leaving listeners hopeful and ready for Season 4.Key TakeawaysTrust needs humans in the loop :AI earns credibility when it supports clinical workflows, not replaces them.Bias hides in plain sight :Data, model design, and deployment all carry bias. Responsible AI means addressing all three.Implementation eats innovation for breakfast: Technology does not change healthcare; adoption and usability do.Your eyes and voice are the new vital signs :Oculomics and voice biomarkers are turning everyday signals into early detection tools.Equity must be built in, not bolted on:“Neutral AI” does not exist. Fairness and transparency have to be engineered from the start.Automation is not the enemy; stagnation is :AI will replace tasks, not purpose. The key is reskilling and redefining human work.In this episode:[00:00:13] Welcome to the season 3 finale[00:01:19] Host travel log[00:05:24] Game debut: Trust-o-meter[00:22:01] Interview: Dr. David Rhew[00:23:34] Dad jokes and Korean BBQ regrets[00:25:27] From white coat to cloud[00:30:52] Bridging the hype-reality gap[00:34:50] Oculomics: The 2-minute eye scan[00:38:02] The DMA of bias[00:45:27] The TRAIN consortium[00:48:45] Cloud consolidation and data stewardship[00:58:29] Call to action: Operationalizing trust[01:05:32] Spicy nugs: Key takeaways[01:14:09] Health tech haiku and sign-offResources:Tech It To The Limit PodcastWebsite Apple PodcastDr. David RhewLinkedIn -https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-rhew-m-d-1832764/Sarah HarperLinkedIn -https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahbethharperElliott WilsonLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewelliottwilson

Growth equity has evolved from the “middle child” between venture and buyout into a distinct and increasingly institutionalized part of the private markets ecosystem.

In this podcast recorded at our recent Corporate Labor and Employment Counsel Exclusive® seminar, Nonnie Shivers (office managing shareholder, Phoenix) and Scott Kelly (shareholder, Birmingham) discuss the rapidly changing and increasingly complex legal landscape surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, focusing on recent enforcement trends and guidance from the EEOC and Department of Justice.

In this episode, I sit down with Michael Joseph and Phil Mederi from the Sacred Honor Educational Fellowship for a deep dive into the principles of self-governance, natural law, and the spiritual foundations of sovereignty.We explore the invisible contracts that bind us to a corporate fiction, the difference between natural rights and state-granted privileges, and why true freedom begins with self-responsibility and principle. Together, we break down the public versus private divide, the role of contracts in our daily lives, and how to live with greater awareness inside—or entirely outside—the system.If you've ever sensed that the world's “rules” aren't natural law but manmade constructs designed to keep you small, this conversation will open new doors of understanding. It's not about fighting the system—it's about remembering who you are, reclaiming your inherent sovereignty, and learning to live in alignment with divine order.

Finding the right firm fit (and a well-defined path to partnership) can take time—and sometimes, the courage to start over. From wirehouse beginnings to RIA partnership, Maggie Rapplean's journey shows how clarity, persistence, and the right environment can open the door to both ownership and balance. Maggie is a Partner at Moneta Group, an RIA based in St. Louis, Missouri, where she oversees $250 million in AUM for 108 client households. Listen in as she shares how her career transitions have helped her find the equity path she was seeking. We talk about how she successfully took over a retiring advisor's book of business, how she achieved a high retention rate in part by refreshing these clients' financial plans and offering deeper tax planning services, and how building her own team has helped her balance career growth with family life.
