What is a servant leader? How can we be more submissive to what our path is? Today's guest John Handelsman talks about learning how to follow first, as it may not come naturally to us.

His PE experience came as co-lead on a $40M raise of Fund II for Brixey & Meyer Capital, where he also served as Operating Partner for both Funds I and II, including leading the establishment of governance and strategic planning, and serving as Chairman on many of the boards. He was also an Operating Partner for a family office based in Cincinnati, as they started to build their specialty finance portfolio. John won EY's Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 1999 during his time as Founder, President, and CEO of The Vaughn Group, Inc., a Cincinnati-based commercial equipment finance company for which he raised multiple rounds of private and institutional capital and that he successfully exited to a public bank in 2003. For over 20 years, John has and continues to serve on many for-profit and faith-based nonprofit governing and advisory boards.   What's Next?  Are you struggling to win at both home and work?

And over the past two decades he's been a pioneer in the ‘Business of Biodiversity'. Nigel is a pioneer in this space, the Tiverton investment vehicle has developed a whole range of agricultural projects on land holdings all over Australia, and all with the regeneration of biodiversity at their core. But that's not all. He seeded the Dragonfly venture fund, to support early stage climate-tech and regen-ag startups.

Now before we dive into the episode I want say a big thank you to the sponsor of this series, and that's GreenCollar.

And their latest innovation is NaturePlus, a new form of biodiversity credits that aim to protect and restore ecosystems around the world.

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 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.

John is a Partner and Co-Founder of Mazarine Ventures. Mazarine is an impact investor backing young technology companies with innovations that address some aspects of water risk, including quality and quantity.  When you're working in the Water Industry, it is tempting to go for broad quotes like "Water is Life." Sure, that's true. But it might be a bit too general of a statement to be translated into concrete business. That's why John and his founding team at Mazarine have been clear from Day Zero when they wrote their investment thesis: in the Age of Climate Change and its extreme events, galloping urbanization, or increased water scarcity, water is a risk. New technologies can help our World mitigate that risk, and this, in all the dimensions of the ESG framework. Hence, speeding up the time-to-market of these emerging solutions induces an impact, turning Mazarine Ventures into an Impact Investor. In my conversation with John, we'll explore how that twist in the definition of water-related challenges and opportunities translates into concrete steps and how Mazarine articulates its actions from its Labs to its Fund I, Fund II, and Bluehouse investment funds.  You'll get to understand why the exit is fully part of the impact process, which type of capital is the most important at which stage of a company's development, and how Mazarine ambitions to find entrepreneurs that have been to the future and came back.  There's much more to unpack in this week's conversation with John, so we'll swiftly take off. But while you buckle up, if you like what you hear, please remember to share that episode with a colleague, a friend, or an entrepreneur you know that shall definitely reach out to Mazarine! Steal their phone, subscribe them to the podcast, and come tell me on LinkedIn what you liked or didn't like about it! Come on do it, and I'll meet you on the other side. Find out how Mazarine Ventures sees Impact Investing as a tool to mitigate the Water Risk!
