Podcasts about forward community

On this episode, Amber and Erika are joined by Maggie Parker, the founder and CEO of Innovan Neighborhoods to discuss a new, more equitable way of creating affordable housing: through community development. Maggie walks us through the process, which includes putting the voices of community members at the forefront of the development conversation, empowering marginalized developers committed to equity, and using the right funding partner. We also discuss the historical and present systemic barriers that have made access to housing difficult of Black people. Maggie highlights how equitable development often takes much longer than the traditional process and introduces the importance of using “patient capital,” which are funding partners willing to allow more time before expecting a return on investment. Tune in to learn more!

In this "Community Stories" session, various members of the Clear Mountain community speak about how they came to the path.

Chris talks about getting the data needed to evaluate core providers, especially fintech; diversifying offerings; and building a technology roadmap that can help community banks take advantage of opportunities to innovate. What does this data mean for banks? Listen and find out!

Your host, Wally Carmichael, shares his passion for mentoring men to live a life of true abundance. In this episode, Wally exposes himself to the world. Get your mind out of the gutter. Wally steps out of his comfort zone to introduce you to men of abundance so you can connect with all of his guests, other listeners around the world and Wally himself. This is going to be one hell of a ride. How awesome was that intro? I want to thank Tim Paige and his team at TimPage.com and Make my Intro.com I also want to thank Arron Pierson for my iTunes Logo and you can find him at http://aaronpierson.com/ (aaronpierson.com) And of course, I have to give a huge shout out to the man who really helped me put this podcast in motion. Thanks so much to http://www.eofire.com/ (John Lee Dumas) and the Podcasters Paradise team and members. JLD, I truly appreciate the shout out and your wealth of knowledge. Now, on with the show. Aloha Men of Abundance I'm Wally Carmichael, your host for the Men of Abundance Podcast. The Podcast for men who strive to live a true life of Abundance in Family, Faith, Finances and Fitness with integrity and honor. I want to welcome you to the introduction episode of the Men of Abundance Podcast where we will hang out with inspiring men of abundance 4 days a week. I know you want to be the best man you can be. I know you want to spend more time with your wife and kids. I know you want to be great at your job. And I know some of you want to be entrepreneurs or at least build a strong plan B. Which I highly recommend. After talking to thousands of men around the world, I'm convinced every man has what it takes to be greater tomorrow than you are today. I also know, the most fulfilled men I know are men of abundance. So, what is living a life of Abundance? Only you can answer that for yourself, because living a life of true abundance is something different for everyone. I will say, as far as I'm concerned, it's not about money, but it can include money. It's not just about your faith and religion but that too can contribute. Living a life of abundance is more about living your life the way you see fit for yourself and your family, while being Abundant with your time, talents and treasures. The vision of Men of Abundance is to bring like minded men together for the purpose to build on each other's personal skills, business skills and values. Throughout each show I will introduce you to industry leaders in productivity, health, entrepreneurship, relationships, and communication just for starters. So why a community for Men of Abundance? There are already many groups for women and children at various stages of their life. And rightfully so. There are also groups from men who have been abused or are abusive, men who are recovering from addiction (porn, drugs, alcohol), men who are sex offenders, convicts and so on. I realize you may fall into at least one of those categories. If you do, I invite you to stick with me. Because I believe you will get something out of this experience. And I know, you will be value added to our community of men. But the question I asked myself was, why is there not a group for men who are doing all the right things, according to our society, yet still not getting to that sweet spot in life? Why is there not a community for the average dude who wants to hang out and learn from others living massively abundant lifestyles? A community of men who are building each other up? I know there are many religious based communities and there are communities with secret handshakes and fraternities. And that's great too. But I'm talking about a community of men without the special hats, coats and handshakes. Where's the group for men who can share with you the skills and the mindset required to level up your life in family, faith, fitness and finances? [spp-tweet tweet="Look, I'm complete, I'm just not finished."] I have everything I need in life, yet I don't have everything I... Support this podcast
