In this episode recorded for the Faith Driven Investor podcast, Tsitsi Masiyiwa asks the question: “How are we using the platform that God has given us to influence decision-makers and our communities to do good?” She talks about the value of catalytic capital—a patient, flexible, and risk-tolerant form of financing that sometimes accepts lower returns to accommodate the economics of high-impact organizations that are profitable but not profit-maximizing. Tsitsi draws on her years of experience in philanthropy and as a social entrepreneur to inspire Christ-centered entrepreneurs and investors to leverage their capital to solve global challenges.

With over 2,000 verses on money and possessions, God has provided us incredible wisdom to manage money. MoneyWise Media is built on the radio ministry of Larry Burkett and Howard Dayton, giving us the unique opportunity to educate millions of listeners each year with the wisdom and truth of God's financial principles. RADIO PODCASTS So first, let's look at our audio content. That includes MoneyWise radio programs, MoneyWise Live on the Moody Network, and the syndicated MoneyWise and MoneyWise Minute. These are the most listened to programs on biblical money management anywhere. One million radio listeners tune in weekly on more than 1700 Christian radio outlets and our podcast had 900,000 streams in 2020, and those numbers continue to grow. But beyond our radio outreach, we also provide tools and resources to help people actually apply the Bible's wisdom in their personal finances.

This week, I'm sharing my conversation with Henry Kaestner, founder of Sovereign's Capital and host of the Faith Driven Entrepreneur podcast. Sovereign's Capital "invests in two market segments: profitable, lower middle market companies (with $10 million to $100 million in revenue, and $2.5 million to $10 million in owner earnings) and promising, early-stage technology companies (with $500,000 to $5 million in annual recurring revenue)." In our conversation, we covered: - The Bandwidth.com story and Henry's years as CEO and Chairman - The culture at Bandwidth ($BAND) and how it was defined from the start - The incentives behind venture capital investment - Buying customers (and burning cash) vs. delighting customers (and keeping them) - Debt vs. equity for founders - Convertible debt and SAFE's - Henry's work and drive behind the Faith Driven Entrepreneur and Faith Driven Investor organizations - The launch of the Faith Driven Investor marketplace - The power of surrounding yourself with friends who will speak wisdom into your life - Henry's business idea to reinvent the collectibles industry using cloud labor and computer vision to grade collectibles and sell them over a marketplace platform --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-circle-of-competence/support
