Show Notes: Michael T. Johnson, a lawyer, shares his experiences during his freshman year at Stanford Law School. He initially wanted to pursue transactional work in finance and looked at New York but later realized that he wanted to return to New Orleans and work there. He stayed long-term in New Orleans and work for companies in the area. From a Law Firm to the Oil Industry He spent three years working at Jones Walker, a large law firm in New Orleans. However, after joining the firm, all but one associate left, leading to a split off in the firm and a lot of extra responsibility for Michael. This experience was challenging, but it allowed him to learn and specialize in public company work and mergers. Michael was then hired to do an IPO for Omni Energy Services, a company that drills holes in the ground to find oil deposits. The technology is now advanced enough that they can read 3D seismic imaging to find oil deposits. Michael was excited about the business aspect of the industry and wanted to be on the other side of deals. He talks about his time there and how he was offered the opportunity to document investments. The Move to Advantage Capital Michael talks about Advantage Capital, which started as a way to drive capital to underserved states, such as Louisiana, which had been redlined due to corruption and oil and gas booms. The program was created by Harvard economist Beldon Daniels, who was hired by the legislature to give tax credits to insurance companies for investing with funds that agreed to invest in small businesses in the state. Steven Stull, an insurance company portfolio manager, founded Advantage after being approached by a dealmaker. He believed he could create a business around structured financial products, such as selling tax credit bonds to insurance companies. Stull was also involved in public policy and advocacy work, advocating for the adoption of these programs. All of the above lined up with Michael's dream job. He gravitated towards the advocacy and structuring side of the business, spending most of his time in New Orleans. The New Markets Tax Credit Program Michael looks back to 2002 when the New Markets Tax Credit Program was adopted by the Clinton Administration, aiming to bring success from the dotcom boom to urban and rural areas. The program was initially praised by the Federal Reserve, but the Bush administration pushed it further and made it more business-friendly. They team decided to pursue this program, which was 100% focused on low-income community investing. The New Markets Tax Credit Program was a business-friendly initiative that aimed to capitalize on the success of the dotcom boom in California and New York. Michael and his team were able to successfully implement the program, focusing on low-income community investing.  Michael discusses the company's competitive application process for investment grants, which grade applicants based on their track record of investing capital in targeted areas, raising money from investors using tax credits and incentives, and investing in low-income communities. They analyze their portfolio and find that they have been investing about 30% of their money in low-income communities, particularly in states like Louisiana. They were one of the largest allocatees in the first round of awards in 2003 and have been winners 15 times. The Shift from a Venture Firm to an Impact Investment Firm Michael explains that they initially focused on raising money as a venture firm, but later transitioned to an impact investment firm. They now focus on creating jobs and creating job opportunities for residents in their communities. They have been doing federal new markets for 20 years and have state versions that can be added on to them. They try to marry programs together to bring the best of certain programs to each other that work for their investors and spin them out. He also mentions his counterpart, Scott Murphy, who manages the investment side and handles the structuring and bringing in the money. They have been together since 2001 and have been working together since 2001. The mission of the company is to invest in businesses that produce more jobs in the region. The decision-making process involves focusing on companies that produce more jobs at the margin. The company does not specialize in any specific area, as they have tight time frames to qualify for incentives. They have to be generalists, investing in various investment types and being generalists on the balance sheet. The company's goal is to invest in businesses that create jobs and contribute to the region's economy. The company also specializes in incentives and tax credits, having been involved in federal, federal, and state Low Income Housing Tax Credit deals and renewable energy deals. Building a Life in New Orleans Michael reflects on his family's presence in New Orleans, which has been a significant part of his life. He recalls dragging people to Mardi Gras from Harvard and being invited to do so every year. However, he also had a strong desire to run for office and work in the Public Service sector, but eventually decided against it. At Advantage, he focused on economic development and was involved in policy discussions with economic development groups. He was getting the idea of what he could do for his city through Metro vision trips and talking to investors. However, he was not well off enough to run for state representative, and his boss initially dismissed his idea. Michael also touches on the impact of Katrina on their business, which was not New Orleans-centric. They moved their office to St. Louis, where they worked on a new markets application. After Katrina, the Treasury Department extended an extension for applicants to work in other areas. Five or six of the team members from St. Lewis rewrote the application to use new markets to rebuild New Orleans. He acknowledges that living in New Orleans was a difficult decision due to its unique personality and uniqueness. They had to make a decision about where to go if they couldn't return, as it was a unique place with a unique personality. However, they were able to be dispassionate about the situation and were called in to DC to discuss using incentives programs to speed up rebuilding. Influential Harvard Professors and Courses Michael, a classics major, took many courses and professors that resonated with him, such as EC 10, Micro, Macro Economics, and the American Revolution. These classes helped him understand the real political and economic pressures of the time and made him think critically.

On this episode I talk with Roger Lang, venerable entrepreneur and venture capitalist. By the age of 36 he had two IPO's under his belt, and more money than he knew what to do with. So he decided to dedicate himself to impact investing - investing in new startups that could help solve the world's pressing problems. His new venture capital fund is called "The Smart Society Fund".

Whatsup Guys! Today I had on Patrick Fransen from purpose-driven incubator and investment fund, Pebble Wave. Patrick sold his previous company for double-digit millions. But he doesn't define this as success. Afterward, Patrick joined Pebble Wave as a partner to support the advancement of global consciousness by building and investing in conscious, purpose-driven companies and leaders. These are companies that create massive societal impact without compromising on profitability or personal wellbeing. Patrick is incredibly insightful and his approach is to create systems and solutions that can benefit not just company leaders and those around them but the entire world. Patrick and his company invest in entrepreneurs that say “Yes, I want to be myself, I want to discover my talents, I want to get rid of my limiting beliefs and do what I am here on earth to do.” If you're someone that's on a journey to add more purpose to your life, to your business, or someone looking for impact investors to fuel your business, this is an episode for you.

In the previous episode, we learned the basics of how crucial it is to make your money work for you beyond just having a checking or savings account. Investing allows you to take charge of your financial security. It allows you to grow your wealth but also generates an additional income stream if needed ahead of retirement. How about if we tell you that you can invest while making an impact in society? Yes, you can generate attractive risk-adjusted financial returns while creating a measurable impact. Betty Francisco from the Boston Impact Initiative is here to tell us all about it. She is a powerhouse Latina, business executive, impact investor, and community leader that is making an important impact in our community.

Essentially growing your money by creating justice on the world's most pressing problems. This investing model is fascinating and we invite you to listen in!

In this episode, Jeff and Denny discuss: Narrowing your niche to stand out in your industry.  All things work for God's purposes. Giving of yourself and your time. Preparing for transitions and focusing on encouragement.   Key Takeaways: Do your actions support what you say your values are? There is a difference between a checklist and a relationship. You do not want to treat your family like they are just an item on your to do list. Your team needs your emotional support, not just your money. It is easier to ask for money or to fail than to change. But change is where you will find happiness and growth.   "Don't just give your money. Give your time and your wisdom." —  Denny McGuire About Denny McGuire: Dennis “Denny” McGuire, The Woodlands, TXEntrepreneur, Impact Investor, and MentorAfter a successful initial career with State Farm, Andersen Consulting (Accenture), and Andrews & Kurth, followed by a very humbling bankruptcy, Denny co-founded TPI, an outsourcing advisory firm serving global 1000 corporations. Starting with only the float on an American Express Card, for almost 20 years he led the firm's development of new service offerings, global expansion, and $170M+ revenue growth. In 2007, TPI was acquired and Denny expanded his focus with non-profits, impact investing, and mentoring. He is currently on the Boards of Child Legacy International, an organization working to redefine “Possible” in Malawi, Africa, and Panther Creek Inspiration Ranch, an organization partnering horses with people to transform lives. He has also served on the Boards of Star of Hope, Living Water International, HBU, and UMMEED a Mumbai, India-based organization serving children with developmental disabilities.Denny and his wife, Marty, have been married for 49 years. They live in The Woodlands, TX  near their two daughters, seven granddaughters, and one grandson.

In this episode, Jeff and Denny discuss: How Denny's time in the military changed his life.  The power of kindness through all hard things. Blessings of tithing and joy in generosity. Lessons in encouragement.   Key Takeaways: Live life on the principle that everybody makes it to the top, whatever it takes, and nobody gets left behind. When all things have been exhausted, God will provide and take care of you if you have been faithful in your giving. God has unique messages for each of us and they are all given in His time. God allows things to happen in your life that will allow Him to use it for good to a greater level than you could do alone.   "You can't always help, but you can always be an encourager." —  Denny McGuire About Denny McGuire: Dennis “Denny” McGuire, The Woodlands, TXEntrepreneur, Impact Investor, and MentorAfter a successful initial career with State Farm, Andersen Consulting (Accenture), and Andrews & Kurth, followed by a very humbling bankruptcy, Denny co-founded TPI, an outsourcing advisory firm serving global 1000 corporations.

In this episode, Rob and Ileana are joined by David Alvo, Founding & Managing Partner at Impacta VC, based in Santiago, Chile. David is as purpose driven and intentional a venture investor, and maybe, a person, as you'll ever meet. The letters "DA", the first two in his name, mean "gives", in Spanish and his life is testament that David is the ultimate "giver" and helper of others. In this conversation he shares his strongly held beliefs that locals in Latin American countries will soon begin to see themselves first at "Latin Americans" and secondarily so, as natives of their home countries (Chile, in David's case). He also shares his deep seated belief in investing and nurturing companies that truly create sustained impact and good for the world. He outlines the investment thesis of Impacta VC, and proves, by the 700+ founder companies his team has reviewed, that finding great companies, that also "do good" is not as hard to find as some think. He shares inspiring personal stories about a few catalytic moments in his life, which shaped his path forward, and invites us as listeners to examine our own priorities. David is a multiple time founder/operator, Endeavor Entrepreneur and Impact Investor.

Equilibrium Capital has gathered over $4.5 billion across its platform of sustainability driven investment strategies. Equilibrium became one of the largest impact native investment firms by not referring to itself as an impact investor, but instead by developing strategies for institutional investors wherein sustainability drove the financial returns. Equilibrium created a series of thematic financial “products” that appealed to institutional investors – such as Equilibrium's Carbon Transition Infrastructure and Controlled Environment Foods strategies. Founder Dave Chen has been a professor at Northwestern's Kellogg Business School for 13 years where he talks about “building an army” of sustainable investors by teaching and encouraging students to pursue sustainable investing.

"Daniel Matalon is the founder of #IsThereEnough, a provocative new conversation about the intersection of survival economics and social justice. He is also the co-founder of Impact Launchpad, a UK-based venture studio for social impact incubation and development. Working from a book, a conversation, and a unique social research experiment that has taken him to 22 countries, Mr. Matalon is asserting that humanity's biggest existential threat is not climate change, tribalism, or inequality but our inability to make agreement with each other at the level we require to address our challenges. His upcoming title, The First Agreement, is a historical and future-leaning look at economics, scarcity, and survival, that suggests that our drivers of incentive can be measurably built around human beings at the center of our economies, rather than the assets and resources we measure them by today." In this episode, Daniel and I discuss what he's adding new to The Conversation, Buckminster Fuller, our warlike conversation type, the most surprising response to the question of "isthereenough?", power, war, common identity, laws and agreement, suffering, the IDW, conversations on Clubhouse, economic values, global citizens, those who want to make a difference, personal transformation, the life that lives within conversation, the last treaty humanity will ever need to sign, a decentralized approach to self-government, collaboration, awareness, taking care of humanity as a way of taking care of the planet, building a world game not a world order, making the world work, hopefulness and much more.
