“When we're thinking about regenerative capital, we're combining what philanthropy did, but we're also looking to grow that philanthropic pool, so we can do more. That's where we start building a better world for us all.” -David Cooper “Fundraising is the hardest part of entrepreneurship. If they have the capital sooner, they would be executing because entrepreneurs, by and large, are doers.” -Maggie Spicer When it comes to social enterprise investing, raising awareness among investors and entrepreneurs is essential. Impact investing is a general investment strategy that seeks to generate financial returns while also creating a positive social or environmental impact. Investors who follow impact investing consider a company's commitment to corporate social responsibility or the duty to positively serve society as a whole. The bulk of impact investing is done by institutional investors, including hedge funds, private foundations, banks, pension funds, and fund managers. Yet, a range of financial service companies, investment platforms and investor networks now offer individuals an opportunity to participate. One major venue is microfinance loans, which provide small-business owners in emerging nations with startup or expansion capital. Women are often the beneficiaries of such loans. In this episode Justine talks with David Cooper, Senior Partner and Donor Advisor of DAF Capital and Maggie Spicer, Partner and COO, DAF Capital. Donor-Advised Funds (DAF) are one form of investment vehicle. David and Maggie explain impact investments and charitable capital investments through Donor-Advised Funds. Since the pandemic, DAF Capital along with 86Fund raised $120,000 to help 119 businesses. The 86Fund is a 501c3-sponsored, DAF-backed philanthropic venture fund that provided grants to U.S.-based restaurants and restaurant-adjacent small businesses (farmers, wine + beer makers, bakers, fishermen/women, etc.) impacted by the global pandemic and/or climate change. In this episode, David and Maggie also talk about frameworks that have the same goals such as Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG); Sustainable Development Goals (SDG); and Justice, Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI-nope, not the Star Wars movie!). These and other similar frameworks are promising and POSSIBLE. Connect with David Cooper: David serves as DAF Capital's Senior Partner specializing in the details of unlocking DAF capital. He has 20+ years of experience directing the acquisition, financing, ownership, and disposition of early-stage companies. He brings deep knowledge of equity transactions including due diligence, structuring, closing, and operational management. He and his associates make investments that match risk with returns and reconnect investors with the performance of the companies they invest in, selecting companies in need of financing that make a positive impact in the world—without sacrificing returns. And he has the track record to prove it. David is a managing member of his family's clean technology fund West Coast CleanTech (WCTT), founded on the belief that the confluence of economic, social, and environmental factors driving rapid technological change in green technologies offers positive investment opportunities. David is a board member of the Baja Coastal Institute, a nonprofit organization devoted to regional environmental and socioeconomic research throughout Baja, Mexico. LinkedIn Connect with Maggie Spicer: Maggie serves as a Partner at DAF Capital to enable and inspire more people to use their Donor-Advised Funds in different ways than they would traditionally think. She's spent her career starting and building innovative companies, typically as a hybrid CEO/COO/CCO. She is the founder and Chief Operating Officer of WHISK, the brand strategy & kinesthetic experience agency trusted by Airbnb, Twitch, IDEO, Levi Strauss & Co., Github, Square, Salesforce, Tesco, Zendesk, and many others.

“Gary Vaynerchuk has seen the future of marketing. The Thank You Economy shows how it's built on both the time-honored techniques of listening to and appreciating customers and newer services like Twitter that allow you to engage directly with customers at unprecedented scale and speed. The book, like Gary, is also a lot of fun and full of passion.” —Dick Costolo, former CEO, Twitter I accept that Gary Vaynerchuk (aka Gary Vee) is not everyone's cup of tea. However, this is a very good book. This reading comes from the chapter "How Everything has Changed Except Human Nature" Buy the book from your local bookshop or at https://www.amazon.co.uk/Thank-You-Economy-Gary-Vaynerchuk

That's some of the tings I talk about, as well as stuff like: Sleep Paralysis, Fear, Keeping a Dream Diary, Multiple Dimensions, Alternate Timelines, Akashic Records, and Virtual Reality. I also talk a lil about the Netflix show Stranger Things, How Everything is Information, and I share some of my False Awakening Experiences.. Hope you like this one :)
To close out this series on How Everything is True, we’re going to make CLEAR Thinking more practical. And to start, I want to break down the term “CLEAR Thinking” a little further. CLEAR Thinking is thinking that is critical, logical, evidence-based, analytical, and reality-based. This is serious, productive thinking that actually changes you. This is a valuable skill because literally every single thing you do begins is a thought; thinking is the software that dictates how your biological hardware operates. So, as you practice CLEAR Thinking, you are better able to control the very thing that controls your actions. And it really is a practice. That’s why, after you listen to this episode, I challenge you to try the exercise that the students in this class participated in: create an argument in favor of something that you don’t think is true, like the earth being flat, and commit to it. Really put yourself in another person’s shoes. This will help you meet the people you manage — including yourself — where they are at, and do so with compassion, no matter what their relativistic truth may be or how absurd it may seem to you. I’d love your feedback. Click here to leave a rating & review for the show on Apple Podcasts.
This series on How Everything is True builds on a lot of what we discussed in the previous four episodes on How You’ve Been Conditioned to Think Unclearly. So if you haven’t listened through that or need to refresh yourself on what Transjectrivism is, you might want to go back and listen through those because we will be looking at truth through a transjectivist lens throughout this series. These series are both parts of the CLEAR Thinking course, which is now available online at clear and open.com. CLEAR Thinking, by the way, is reflective and independent thinking. It teaches you to use your ability to reason and it makes you an active learner rather than a passive recipient of information. And when you learn and practice CLEAR thinking, you can better control the thinking that is controlling you. That’s why this episode begins with everyone’s favorite libertarian making an argument in favor of the minimum wage — because changing the way you think about and perceive truth requires practice. And if you’re looking for extra credit, we also mention the Managing with Inquiry course in this episode, which is also available online. And I shared Managing with Inquiry 101 as a podcast series in October 2019, which will introduce you to the basic concept and the practice of not knowing. I’d love your feedback.

We are seeing a lot of spiritual leaders rise up lately and call bullsh*t on what we have been taught to believe being ‘spiritual’ is. Being spiritual is not ‘love and light’ all of the time. It’s deep and feeling and sometimes blissful and sometimes excruciating. Spirituality is acceptance – and that includes accepting if you can’t be accepting right now. Spirituality is about wholeness, not denying the parts of you or others that you think aren’t ‘spiritual enough.’ If you’re ready to release the spiritual dogma and prescribed ‘rules’ and actually recognise yourself as an eternal spiritual being that is unconditionally loved regardless of what you do or don’t do, THIS is the episode for you. I had a raw, real and energetically potent conversation with the Divine duo Kaja Shakti and Maja Metlicar, Divine Feminine code carriers and frequency holders from Irresistible Tribe, about huge self-compassion and understanding, releasing spiritual taboos, and being spiritually ‘rebellious’ for the sake of our Soul’s TRUE path. There were so many insights and valuable tools received during our chat, including: • Energetic transmission from Kaja & Maja that took me from a sore heart to feeling trusting, blissful and open while recording (so I KNOW you are going to feel it too) • How EVERYTHING is spiritual so we can all just relax a little • What ‘spiritual bypassing’ is, how it’s stopping us from being real, and how we can truly heal instead • Why observing and honesty combined allow you to throw off the spiritual ‘rules’ and dogma, and actually live in alignment with your unique spiritual essence • The two words that will change your life – “fuck it” • How to release the conditioning of avoiding our feelings and actually be with all of the truth of who we are • A simple mantra and practice that allows you to be self-compassionate and give up any attempts at ‘fixing yourself’ • The shadow in the mirroring principle, over-responsibility/self-ownership and loving big • Why you’re not ‘weak’ or ‘too sensitive’ but actually a powerful multi-dimensional being, and you deserve to be compassionate with yourself JOIN THE TRIBE – Head over to https://www.facebook.com/groups/lightworkersrising/ to join a community and sacred space for lightworkers.
