Here is a very lightly edited transcript of the SuperCrowdHour for July, The Power of a Purpose Round with Parker Clay CEO Ian Bentley, DealMaker CEO Rebecca Kacaba and Renew Venture Capital's Mark Hubbard.Devin: I have just the most extraordinary panel discussion organized today, and I just couldn't be more excited about it. Rebecca Kasaba is the CEO of DealMaker, which is one of the fastest-growing companies in North America. I mean, Rebecca, you're just killing it. You're absolutely crushing it. We're thrilled to have you here to take a minute to be on the show. Ian Bentley is the CEO of Parker Clay, and he's working with help from Rebecca. He's in the middle of a $15 million goal of a crowdfunding campaign. We're excited to talk to him about that. He's got an incredible social mission. I just love what he's doing. And Mark Hubbard, who is the managing director of Renew Venture Capital, he's playing a vital role in putting that together. And so they've created, and they are sort of walking their talk, eating the dog food, as folks in Silicon Valley like to say, they are actually modeling the use of what they've started to call a purpose round. And I'm excited to talk to them about that because their crowdfunding campaign is really centered on fulfilling their mission.Devin: So with that, Ian, let me invite you to just take a minute and tell us about the mission, the social purpose behind and the motivation and purpose for Parker Clay.Ian: Thanks, Devin. Yeah, and doing it in a minute would be a little bit tricky, but I can try. I just got home, back to California, where our headquarters are here in the US. But I just got back from our factory in Ethiopia; I was there for actually about a month. A little bit longer than I'm normally there. But we so as you can imagine, we've got both an Ethiopian headquarters and a US headquarters. And it started back in 2012 when my family and I bought one-way tickets, left California, left our careers, moved to Ethiopia; and we moved there primarily to help women who had been caught in trafficking and really looking for more dignified employment opportunities. That was not that line of work. And we were doing skills training, and job training, discovered the leather industry while we were living there, and saw it as primarily being exported to the world, like Europe. And we thought we could create jobs for women. And really, that was the purpose of why we were there to create opportunities for women to thrive. And we are doing that through business. So really kind of changing the model around even aid that has been poured into the country for many, many years and shifting that to a trade model and doing business at scale. And we'll talk more about the manufacturing opportunities and all that we're doing there. But we've got a team now of about 200 people, 80% of whom are women. And we are proud of the impact and the work we get to do every day through that.Devin: Yeah, it is just really inspiring what you're doing. And I was shocked by the story when I heard it and thrilled and really admire the work that you've been doing. You've been at this for a while now. It's been a decade or so since you, the roots of this effort, began. Is that right?Ian: Yeah, Yeah. We officially started in 2014. That's when we set up the entity. So it's been almost ten years. I have lost all my hair and gotten a few more gray hairs, and working alongside my wife is the creative director of Parker Clay, and we've got five kids, so a very full life as well. But it's been it's an exciting time at the moment really for what we're doing because a lot of the hard work we've put into the foundation over these past few years is now really ripe to scale. So that's why we're doing what we're doing.Devin: Yeah. Well, Rebecca, as you have, you know, worked with Ian, one of the things that I've observed from our past conversations about this, and we've had an opportunity to talk about it a few times, I think you have a real passion for this. I wonder if you tell us a little bit about how you feel about this and how you're working to DealMaker to support Parker Clay.Rebecca: Devin, I'm happy to. Yeah, we're really excited about what Parker Clay is doing. Remember when my team first met Ian, we were so excited about the company and the mission and the way they're having such a transformative impact on Ethiopia that we were like, Okay, this is one deal we've got to get for the system. We've got to win this one. So what DealMaker does is essentially give companies the technology infrastructure they need to raise capital digitally online. And so traditionally, in my background as a capital markets attorney, I saw a lot of paperwork being exchanged in order to get capital raising done. And when the Jobs Act came out, I saw the opportunity for all of this capital raising to move online. And, you know, like Ian, it's been a short ten-year journey where we've watched the legislation transform, and we've really seen digital marketing take a huge foothold now in this industry and give entrepreneurs a way to communicate their message to all the four corners of the Internet, to people who their message might appeal to and build up a community behind them and don't want to get too into it because I know we'll continue to chat about it for the next hour, but it's something I'm really passionate about, the impact that people today want to have with their investments, especially when they see companies like Parker play, and they want to do things, you know, they see what Mark and Renew are doing. And this whole trend of impact investing is something that we're all fortunate to be a part of and get to propel forward, which really just makes the world a better place and gets better businesses funded.Devin: Yeah. Well, Mark, I want to turn to you now for a second. We've it's my sense, and I may be wrong, forgive me if I am, but it's my sense that you played a really vital role in pulling this together for both your capital and your concept. So what I'd like to do is to invite you to talk a little bit about your role in all of this and why it is that what Ian does resonates with you.Mark: Sure. I guess it goes back to sort of the genesis of the term purpose around for us, you know, what we were trying to accomplish. And then Ian became sort of part of the first use case for that, not the total piece, but certainly the proof case for, for why we want to do it. As Rebecca said, everything we do is impact. We have a venture studio and a venture capital firm, and it's all either social impact companies or it's women and historically excluded founders. And those don't have to be impact companies. And we want to, I mean, look, we're part of, as Rebecca mentioned, this sort of global shift and what I sort of call a movement. It's kind of a paradigm shift where more and more people want to align what they say they believe about the world with what their money does in it. Right. Or what their effort does in it. A lot of people will shift professionally in those ways. I mean, I guess I am in some ways, it's taken me 20 years, but in some ways, I'm part of that shift as well. And so, you know, we looked at the look, any time you do investing, you're a two-sided marketplace. Right. So I have investors that I invest on behalf of, and I have companies and founders that we invest in. And so the thing we saw was really twofold, both sides of that marketplace. One, that it was really frustrating that only rich people, you know, only accredited investors, could... I mean, they still, to this day, right in the fund, I can't take anybody who's not accredited. I have to see your tax statements.Mark: So I really can't take anybody who's not accredited. And so that's frustrating, like in and of itself, just sort of from an investing standpoint that you can't invest in early-stage companies; you can't really do VC. When you couple that with the idea that this is an effort to align your values with what your money does, like, that's a justice issue that a non-accredited investor is not allowed to do. We're only going to let rich people do that. You know what? What is the what's the power that we leave on the table and in that dynamic? So that's one issue, right? Then the other was, what do we do about--and Ian will probably be okay with me saying this--there's a whole lot of companies that could be big, huge, successful companies that the founders are dynamic, that people want to support, that people align with aspirationally, that it's not just a product that they buy and that it's really something they want to be a part of themselves. But it's hard to figure out how you put those companies into a venture fund. And because they're too capital intensive, or the timeline is too long, or they're just not in vogue, or they're systemic issues, you know, as it comes down to like a lot of women and historically excluded founders. And so, how do we open pathways? How do we support these kinds of purpose-focused companies to allow them to go raise expansion capital, real, real money? Like ten, 20, $70 million. By being able to tell their story of their purpose and what they're trying to accomplish more broadly and involve a much bigger community in that discussion.Devin: And. I want to just pause here for a moment to say a couple of things. First off, if you are here in the Zoom room with us, please, we invite you to begin thinking about thoughtful questions you have for these extraordinary individuals who are on the panel today. We're going to welcome your questions. You can use the Q&A function in Zoom to ask those questions most readily. And I also want to reiterate the invitation. If you're watching on YouTube and would like to ask a question, just hit on.s4g.biz to register and hop into the call. We'd love to have you join us here in the Zoom room, where you can ask a question. So now, continuing on the discussion, I hate to interrupt the flow, but you know,Devin: It really is, I think, exciting to think about what this means. You know, Rebecca, you've got this technology that you're deploying, and you hinted at this already, that allows people like Ian to begin to connect with people who are not yet part of the community. That's a pretty exciting thing. Tell us about your technology.Rebecca: Yeah. So the way we set up an offering, if you've got a brand like Parker Clay, a really nice high-value brand, you want to allow them to control the buying experience so that an investor coming in has the same high-end experience to buy shares as they would to buy a purse or some similar product from Parker Clay. And so, we allow them to set up a standalone website with an Invest Now button. And our goal is to really make it as easy for investors to buy shares online as it is to buy a pair of shoes. So get them through the securities law exemption, get their payments, their investments funded, get contracts signed, get the securities law exemptions and background checks, run all very streamlined purchasing experience at the click of a button and then allow the companies to have access to their funnel and really to treat their capital raise the same they way they would if they were digitally marketing a product so they can see who their buyers are, where their interest level stems from, and they can really then start to identify the community that is interested in their capital, raise and build a community around that profile and then reach more people. And our goal is to really expand this, to make capital raising global so that we can right now allow people to raise across North America as well as into different other regions so that they can find all the different folks that might be interested in what they're doing and really leverage the power of the Internet to its fullest capacity.Devin: It is exciting to think about this. And Mark, you know, it's I kind of credit you again, I apologize if I'm getting this wrong, but I kind of credit you with thinking of this and identifying the possibility that purpose can be a connector that Rebecca can kind of leverage with her technology to benefit someone like Ian, an entrepreneur like Ian to attract capital. I wonder. How did you develop this idea? Because it got I got to say, the traditional view of crowdfunding is you leverage your community to raise capital. And what you're doing is you've changed the thesis and say, we're going to leverage our purpose to build a community from which we can build raise capital. What where did that idea come from, Mark?Mark: Yes, like, like all my great ideas. I assume it came from somewhere else. Yeah. Look, the history of the crowdfunding world started with a lot of crowd talk, right? That. That, in general, just you want to get to the people, whatever that means. And it's not a particularly strategic idea necessarily, but you just go out to the crowd. And then there became this idea of community. Right. That really, when you look at what happens in a crowdfunding scenario, what happens is really your community for the most part, right? You may broaden it some, but a lot of it is leveraging people that were already in the community or are sort of on the edges and will come in and feel an affinity. And that's all like that's really useful stuff. It's exciting to take a community. I mean, even before you get to any purpose discussion, right? They have this community that is just deeply identified with what they do. And, you know, thousands and thousands of people who would do who would drive anywhere or go anywhere or just, you know, to be associated with their business. And so that kind of crowd or community thing is useful and helpful and can help one of these campaigns be successful. My thought was just as great as that is. If you can take a community and you can activate that community around a purpose, that's a different thing. Like that is maybe it feels like a nuanced difference, but that's there's a power in that's different than the whole rest of the activities. And so, therefore, yes, there ought to be an opportunity to have all kinds of people who would who do want to make an investment.Mark: That's why you know, this is this bespoke landing page thing. Right. That's an interesting animal because, although functionally, it should be as easy as buying a product, right? It's not quite like buying a product. And so but you do want to tell a story about the business and the product, but you do want to tell the impact story. Like, that's a lot of stuff to balance and a lot of needles to thread. But if people can get into that, if people can who do want to invest in something that will be successful, who want this to be part of what they're, you know, money makes possible in the world, can also then connect with this story of transformation. You know, that's really, really powerful. And I do believe that that could be broadened far beyond sort of just your normal customer base. And look, then, the flip side of a crowdfund, right? What's so great about that idea is that if you that every person that you can align with you that wasn't a customer before. Not only do they probably become a customer, but they become the whole process is taking customers and the community and turning them into owners and advocates. And so when they became owners, they become advocates in a way that could really drive sort of the underlying fundamentals of the business going forward. And so it seemed to be for me like the, you know, sort of the perfect storm of possibility there.Devin: Well, it is exciting to think about how this has the potential to work. And of course, now, Ian, you're living in the middle of it, right? You're in the middle of this campaign. You've been you launched this. I'm trying to recall, was it early this year that you launched the campaign or late last year?Ian: It was late last year. Yeah, November of last year.Devin: So you've had enough of a run now, I guess, to see how it's working. Are you seeing actually some people who were outside your community that have been drawn in by purpose to invest? And then the parallel question, and I'm curious about, is, are we also seeing are you also seeing those folks who come in as fresh members of the community, as investors? Are they also becoming customers?Ian: Yeah, we are the, and I think the way Mark was describing it is, is true. The power of community is is is a big deal. And I mean, I'm even reminded in coming back from Ethiopia how important community is for all of us. The word that I kept hearing over and over in Ethiopia was resilient, resilient, resilient. And sometimes, you know, you've got some people that are strong, some people that are weak. How do we help each other? How do we help each other through those challenges and the good and the bad? And it's a beautiful thing that I get to see, perhaps sometimes more when I'm in Ethiopia, but reminded that even here in the US and other parts of the world where we have even adopted this proverb that it's an African proverb that says If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. And we're constantly saying that. It's become such an ingrained part of our DNA at Parker Clay, where we look through decisions with the business with regards to whether we go together; what does that look like? And I can tell endless stories of even just these last few weeks in Ethiopia of doing just that. And you know, what we get to do, and I think even just what Mark was saying with regards to how we thread all these stories together, that we are a business, we're a for-profit, purpose-driven business, right? We're a legal public benefit corporation that has the idea baked into it that we are benefiting the public in some way.Ian: And so driving that purpose every day at Parker Clay is essential. But we're also building, you know, an exciting business. And so the question I think that comes up as we approach the community, you know, and it's a little bit more of a newer idea, is can you be kind of can you focus on both profit and purpose? And I think, historically, we have separated these things very distinctly, right? Where we have kind of charitable giving, charitable donations, aid, things that we're doing which are not bad and are needed. But then we have for-profit, right? And then we have businesses that are just purely about profit. And I think that that has been the model for many, many years. And only really, and I would say the last ten or so years, have businesses been looking at more of a purpose-driven structure. And, you know, we've seen that because we've been doing it from the beginning. And so I think that's where as we approach the community, we get to certainly bring that out of more of our existing customers. And we've seen a significant amount of people interested in this round. For many, it might be their first type of investment like this, right? Because this is still a new space. And I think opportunities like this webinar and the education around it are important because, for a lot of people, they just haven't had the opportunity unless they've been, like Mark said in the beginning, more of institutional investors who have that experience. And so for customers who have been buying our bags, this might be the first type of investment.Ian: And one practical way to share that. We had a warehouse sale here in Santa Barbara at our warehouse, and the community came out. They were excited to buy bags and drove from kind of all over California to come. And this one woman came up to me and said, Hey, I'm one of your shareholders. And she said, I'm with a big smile with a ton of excitement, and that just would never be possible before, right? Where she was saying it with pride as an owner, I'm a shareholder in the company. I'm excited not just about your bags, which I love, but also being part of this in a deeper way with you. And so, you know, we have seen both the existing community base, which I think has been a big part of our strength, and that's also brought in some new faces who have then converted to customers, some people who maybe own businesses now kind of come in and go, hey, one of my gifts for my employees or my clients. And so it really has allowed us to stretch that out and the opportunities out with our offering, not only from the investment side but from the product side. And that is a benefit, I would say for sure, with this type of route is if you are a consumer brand, you get to bring in this customer base, and if you have a product, it's also fun to share because you kind of get both investment and customers who are buying your product.Devin: Yeah, it's really exciting to think about the synergy between the investment and the product sales. Of course, I've dated myself just by using the 90s word synergy, but that's where, you know, it was ingrained. It was beaten, I think. You know, many of us in business school back in the day got a tattoo on an arm. Um, so anyway, sorry. I apologize for using the word synergy. But there is some exciting interplay between the investors and the customers. Rebecca, I want to talk to you a little bit more broadly about investing in these kinds of deals. I know you're a broker-dealer, and you have to be careful. You're an attorney. You're smarter than I am. Help us understand. How sort of anyone now can invest as easily almost in a deal like Parker Clay Let's be a little bit nonspecific so you can stay a little bit out of some of the regulatory scrutiny for a minute. So you're not recommending a deal, but tell us a little bit about how people can get comfortable that it's okay to invest. It's a new thing. Ian made it very clear. Right? It's new to people. How do people get comfortable with that as investors?Rebecca: Yeah. Thanks, Devin. And I will disclaim that because I'm not licensed in the broker-dealer. Our broker-dealer helps the issuers' side rather than being the type of broker-dealer that works for the investors. But I think what we're seeing is investors are getting comfortable with the purpose and the mission of the business. And, of course, the regulations are very well designed to make sure that investors have access to all the information they need. So they have fully standardized offering documents that tell them prescriptively about the business and the business plan and who the founders are. And there are bad actor checks run on all the founders before the offerings get set up. And then there are caps on the amount of money that investors can invest in these deals because it is supposed to be for investors to build a portfolio of investments and not, you know, bet the farm on one investment that they're making. And so what we are doing is bringing that awareness to folks so that they can participate in these kinds of offerings and build that kind of portfolio. If you look at it according to Global Impact Investor Network, the impact investing global portfolio stands at 1.2 trillion assets under management. And so there's a lot of capital out there that's looking for deals like Parker Play where people want to be making an impact, as Mark described, with their money and the key trends that we're seeing as part of that impact investing. Ian really described the most important one to me, which is as millennials and the younger generation view the world, they don't view it the same way some of the older generations do with charity and business, and business is out to make a profit, and charity does good in the world.Rebecca: They really see business as a better change agent than charity, and charitable charities need to be able to have a more sustainable business model. And so the two are really blending together in a really interesting way, with Parker Clay being the perfect example of that. We've also seen, you know, statistics like six out of every ten millennials have actually done impact investing, so they know what it is. The people who do it feel good about it. They do it repeatedly. And so we see it really as this snowball that's rolling down the hill where you've now had, you know, ten years ago, the online buying ecosystem was not what it is today. It was almost at zero. People went into bricks and mortar stores to buy everything they needed. Fast forward ten years. That's grown into a $16 trillion industry. And so as we see investing, moving online in the same way, moving out of the boardrooms and the, you know, physical handshakes and online, we've also seen a really nice change in the types of founders that are getting funded with increased female and minority founders because of the way the messaging is being presented. So all of that to say, I think investors are this is resonating with investors. They want to do this. We're seeing the upward trend, and the legislation's been around for over ten years now and has gone through a number of iterations to make sure that it's safe for investors.Devin: Yeah, it's it is exciting to see, you know, in the last, I think, seven or eight quarters, we've seen venture capital decline every quarter. You know, there was some buzz around AI and notwithstanding the buzz around AI, venture capital investment still declined. And uh, but we're seeing Crowdfunding and Reg A plus kinds of deals are pretty solid. We haven't seen the same declines in that space. There's real resilience, and it is exciting to see. And I'm hopeful that as we get a little more confident in markets recovering, we'll see real growth in investment Crowdfunding going on. Mark, I wonder if you would just take a minute and talk a little bit about it. You're thinking about investing as well. I want to make sure that--I know there are entrepreneurs, and we'll come back to that. There are entrepreneurs listening who desperately want to figure out how they, too, can raise $15 million. But all of them are also investors, and others are here primarily because they're interested in investing in Parker Clay or another deal. And your vision, right for this, was driven in no small part by the idea that ordinary investors should have the same opportunity that wealthy investors have. Talk to us a little bit about that.Mark: Sure. Well, I mean, I can do my philosophy of investing, but the two of them just did it. So I'm surprised. I'm surprised they didn't share my deck to make the point. Yeah, there has been historically this two, you know, classically called the two-pocket idea, that in one pocket, I put all the money in the world, and in the other pocket, I give it away to make good things happen. Right? And so that purpose and the context of profit is bad and distracting, and profit in the context of purpose is bad and distracting. Right. And that's just not the world anymore. I mean, it's fine. That was the world for a long time. Friedman messed a bunch of people up. But it's not. I mean, the world now is a bunch of founders who don't see trade-offs, who don't come out of the nonprofit world. We want to build big, giant companies that do really well, that have purpose at the center of what they do, and that the purpose is not a distraction from the profit.Mark: It's that I make my profit via, like, “What are you talking about?” Like, “The purpose drives my profit.” Those aren't competing ideas, and I won't like to give up all my profit because that's business, and that's what makes the purpose possible. Like, what are you even talking about, right? Like, they don't even know how how to put it in that context. And that's how younger investors are, too, right? Like, that's the way they want to think about things. And so so yeah, that's just sort of a new-ish idea. But it's now the water everybody swims in, and everybody better adjust. You know, I always attribute to this, I've always heard it attributed to Marc Andreessen, you know, fellow, fellow purpose warrior who said that impact companies were were like houseboats, right? They're not a good boat and not a good house. And my response was always, that seems kind of weird coming from somebody who spends a bunch of time on a yacht.Devin: So, you know what? There are companies like Parker Clay that are both good houses and good boats, and I don't even know what you're talking about, man. And so, um, so yeah, so that is the future. And I think we're just going to see sort of a massive shift. And although this is new, you know, you know, it's my job generally to, to, to break up assumptions, although this is new and it's hard like I don't you watch any of the meme stock stuff that happened in the last couple of years. I mean, nobody had heard of Robinhood before. And everybody's got mutual funds, and everybody knows what the stock market is, and everybody owns private shares and companies, and people want to go to Berkshire Hathaway's, you know, annual like, no, this isn't new. This is a highly, highly regulated marketplace for people to do what they constantly do all the time. Otherwise, in other places, it just opens up a little slice of the market. Right? It opens up this early stage, mid-stage growth, stage investment in private companies that you didn't have access to before, and now you do so. So take all that comfort you have from all the rest of it, right? And apply it to this new asset class that you just were cut out of before.Devin: Yeah, it's an interesting point. You know, a meaningful part of diversification is to add some private assets to the the mix of things that you're holding. So that's a great, great point. Now, Ian, as you think about your offering, I wonder if you would just take a minute with, you know, we've been kind of talking about the focus on investors, and you, more than anyone, are authorized to speak about your deal. Tell us why you would like why you think it's a good idea for an investor to participate.Ian: Yeah. No. Thanks for that opportunity to share that. Look, one of the wealthiest individuals on the planet right now is in the fashion space. Actually, he is the wealthiest individual on the planet. And it's only been, I would say, in the last 20 or so years that, you know, or 20 plus that that's really kind of launched into the stratosphere with what he's done. The fashion space is really exciting. Africa is really exciting. And when we look at it through this lens when we were living in Ethiopia. It was really an aha moment where everything we were talking about profit, purpose, all those things really aligned when I'm there, and my family and I are working really towards this effort of saying hearing over and over from women saying we don't want handouts, we want jobs, we want opportunities. And when we discovered this raw material, which source--think about ten years ago, we didn't know where things were made or how they were made. We weren't looking at tags. This whole awakening of the conscious consumer was born about ten years ago. And it wasn't just a moment in time. It's a movement. And the movement has been picking up a lot of energy over these last ten years to the point where even, as Rebecca said, with millennials and younger generations. They are investing and spending where their values are. And I think that that is seen today more than ever before in history. And so when we created Parker Clay, we both looked at it and said in order and just to build on what Mark was saying, in order to have the impact we want to see in the world, which we believe women should not have to compromise and choose these really terrible, you know, routes to provide for themselves and their families.Ian: And if we can change that through economic empowerment, then watch out because these women are reinvesting 90% of their incomes back into their communities, into their families, and their kids' lives are going to change. Schools are going to change. These are the next leaders of the world. It's a good investment. And if we can make really beautiful products that, frankly, the world wants, then the combination of those things is so powerful. We're in a space that is approaching $300 billion in terms of the market. So the leather space for fashion brands, both in bags and shoes, kind of become the cornerstone of and building blocks of these fashion brands. And when it comes to Africa. It's an exciting, exciting time. I really cannot stress this enough, for me, spending weeks and months of my year in Ethiopia and in East Africa, the manufacturing world is changing dramatically. If you think about the Industrial Revolution at the peak, it was about 20 million jobs. And right now, there is a shift happening of about 100 million manufacturing jobs that are leaving China and looking for a new home. And when you think about Africa, by 2050, a quarter of the population is going to live on the continent of Africa.Ian: These are incredibly resourced, capable, young, vibrant workers that are looking for opportunities. And so when we look at Africa, we're also, and that's what is exciting about Parker Clay is that it's not just the brand that is selling into a market that is approaching 300 billion. We're also a brand that has taken on the manufacturing opportunity to become vertically integrated. And so we have the opportunity as a manufacturer and as a brand to really press into this market. And we've got the track record. We're 20 plus million in historical sales where we have, again, we've been selling and creating opportunity primarily here in the US and starting to tiptoe into international markets as well. And so there are a lot of very exciting pieces that this raise and why we're doing it. One is to bring the community into it. This would be our typical series A round, and to say, rather than going that traditional institutional round, we want to bring the community to be part of this with us because we see where we're going. We see the potential of building this company into a multinational, really significant brand that can compete on the global level with the other well-known fashion brands in the world who, by the way, might be buying leather from Ethiopia but stamping "made in" somewhere else with it. And that's where we're excited to bring people into that story with us to be part of this with us and truly, again, live up to that value of we go together where you get to be part of it, not just from a financial side with the investment, but also the impact side.Ian: And we are absolutely, and I can tell you that, just literally coming back days from Ethiopia. The way that we are transforming lives is humbling. It's just humbling from my position to be part of that and to see. I'll give you an example. We had a celebration that we've created this called we call it our Center of Excellence, where women can come in with no experience in the leather industry. We can give them job training, skills training along with it. We've partnered with a local bank called Anat, which means mother, and they do financial literacy training. We have a subsidized lunch program. We have a food pantry where we subsidize meals. We have a huge bus that we transport people to be back and forth from home to work because transport is a problem challenge. And we also consistently look at livable wages in the country and are constantly leveling up with regard to that because inflation is a challenge for them. So we take all these impact pieces, and we set that as a priority. We've also become one of the highest-ranked certified B Corps, and we're the top in the world in terms of the leather space. And that also allows us to be third-party accredited with regard to this impact. So it's not just us saying it, it's saying, hey, we're putting our proof through this accreditation as well.Ian: And we're really proud of that. And the vision really for us is to create millions of opportunities, not only through Parker Clay but through the network and showing people that the opportunities here are endless with regards to these women and what can happen in a place like Ethiopia and Africa. Um, so that's, you know, that's where we're at, and we're excited to be able to offer this to the community, to those people that are listening in. Um, and also, you know, I just want to add in with Mark, Rebecca and even Devin, you as well. You guys are part of that community, and really grateful for the contributions that you guys make in lending your voice and the efforts because what we're doing and the power of this whole thing is really we go together. And I think that it is an exciting time where we get to prove that we can do this and put really meaningful opportunities in front of people, not just from the investment side but from the impact side. And I can tell you because I've been in both a nonprofit and a for-profit siloed space, that this space that I'm in now, I've never been more motivated and on fire to work towards the success of this mission and purpose. And I think that we're going to see more people who are aligned with those things motivated and doing similar things as well.Devin: That's great. And we've got.Devin: A great question that came in from Gretchen. She said, Um, do you foresee institutional investors making this mind shift toward purpose investing? Or will it take continuous reg CF and reg growth to lead this new investment world? And Mark, maybe we can start with you, and then Rebecca and Ian, maybe you can close us out on this, but I think it's a great question.Mark: Yeah, I mean, they have–really, if you're old like me, you remember a 2010 research report from JP Morgan back when. Sort of, you know, that long ago, right? So it was sort of a social entrepreneurship, social enterprise. We didn't quite know what the thing was yet. And the argument was that whatever this thing was, this impact thing could potentially be a $1 trillion asset class. That was their argument someday. And you know how asset classes work. Asset classes are like defined verticals of kinds of companies. So small companies, big companies, other kinds of assets, real estate. Right. That's an asset class. And so they said there could be one of those. That's impact, depending on how you define impact. Now, it's something like a 20 to $50 trillion market. And so they were wrong, but they were wrong because what we found out is that it's not the institutional world did not respond to it as an asset class. How we responded to it is as a lens, right? And so it didn't it wasn't like, Oh, I'm going to invest in small-cap stocks and impact stocks. It was, How do I look at small-cap stocks through the lens of impact investing? Because in the institutional world, all impact framework is a risk-adjusted return framework. So they're trying to say, what are the risks associated with this? If I don't look at the impact pieces of it. And so it's become this lens.Mark: Now, what I think is so interesting about CF and Reg A and what I do right early stage investing is that you can do that, you know, on a big global scale. It's just really hard. Like it's hard to figure out how you run a giant multinational corporation in a way that's ethical, and it's just hard, especially if you're trying to turn those around and you have things like ESG and then the backlash to ESG and. Right. And so that's it's incredibly important. Everybody needs there need to be brilliant people working in that world. I just sort of punt on that and say, you know, where it's not all that complicated is in relatively early-stage investing. Look at the kind of control and focus that Ian's able to have right because of this company is what it is. And because it's at the size and stage that it is. And then we can help them build companies that look different in the end than the ones that maybe we have now, even when they're big and giant. And so that's just a meme more satisfying, a more interesting sort of place to play to sort of one-to-one almost what I believe with what I'm making happen. And so, yeah, institutions do do it. It's just a more complicated sort of world in the big high-end, global, national.Devin: Great, great thoughts. Rebecca, do you want to add anything to that?Rebecca: I think Mark covered it well. So the only thing I would add is what we see is typically people really connecting to the specific purpose of the company, and think Reg A gives an investor the ability to connect on a very personal level. And so when you see impact investing in a fund, it's going to be certain high-level defined parameters. Whereas an individual can say, I love what Ian's doing in Ethiopia, and that mission speaks to me. So I want to invest in that company versus like a bucket of companies that have a certain mission. One other thing that I want to add that Ian jogged in my mind that I want to call out. I think it's really interesting how he said it's our series A, but we're about community, and so we're going to choose to do this. There are a lot of companies historically that have similarly made that choice, who think the way Ian thinks. A lot of people don't know that Peloton--huge company today--started out as a crowdfunding campaign. And you've got companies like Substack, you know, going out around a Series B saying we're a community-driven company, and so we want to do this everything down to, you know, the Green Bay Packers, an NFL team who says we're all about our community, we're fan owned, and they're the number one brand in the NFL because they've been doing this for over 60 years. So it is out there. It is a trend that's happening. A lot of those stories we need to just bring to light so people understand that people do think this way and feel this way.Devin: Yeah, great. I think if.Ian: Devin, if I could add to, I think, you know, what's interesting too, is. It's more touchable like it's more connected in that sense. Like I'm available. If anyone has questions, reach out. Right. Like, and I think with these bigger investments and you typically, it feels more unreachable or untouchable. And like the woman coming up to me and saying, Hey, I'm one of your shareholders, that's so exciting. Or I get emails from people saying, I just invested, I respond, and we communicate. I love that. And I think that's another piece that's really powerful because, again, we were just believing also, as a philosophy, we were designed to be in community together. And this is just one more extension of doing just that.Devin: Yeah, that's a great point.Devin: Carl Deacon is asked a great question. And, you know, I'll ask you to tackle this first and then Rebecca and Mark, you may want to jump in and add something. But the question is, how are you attracting people to become investors? Messaging, and communication channels targeting investor candidates. Describe some of the real tactics at the practical level.Ian: Yeah, it's a good question. We've been learning a lot since we started. Having a community is a huge opportunity to start with, right? So we've sold to, like Mark said, thousands of customers. We've been doing this for about ten years. So we've got a really strong customer base that's highly engaged. These are reoccurring customers, people who are coming back, and sharing with friends and family. So that's a huge piece. But what we recognize, too, is that buying a bag and investing in a company, those are a bit different. And so we've had to cater some of that communication that's a little bit different. Right. And I think we've grown one of the one of the most powerful things that you can have is to bring in, I think, a community into that. Think outside of that. One thing that we've been experiencing and expert at is just the way that we do paid advertising and outreach and things like that. And, you know, sometimes we try things, and it works; sometimes we try things, and it doesn't work. And so it's a constant iteration around the types of things we're doing. I think what's most important is setting up a, and if you're a kind of a digital marketer, you have this mindset, but there's also this idea of, you know, broader outreach campaigns, and then you have multiple touchpoints that you continue to follow up with someone. And that's one thing that DealMaker is helpful with, too, is that it's easier to kind of automate some of that communication. But I think email, phone calls, if you have a product, being able to send the product out to people has been really helpful, I think, at its core. And then, on top of that, you can experiment with paid advertising and certain things like that. You just, I think as you mature in any of the campaigns, and that's one of the things that we've seen is as we've brought in more from the campaigns, then we can kind of continue to invest into it and try some more of those things out. So. Those have probably been the core pieces.Devin: Fantastic.Devin: Rebecca, do you want to add anything in terms of those tactics or Mark?Rebecca: I think that that's all through--primarily, it's the website as the main communication vehicle, and then the email really is the primary form of communication to a certain extent or other different, you know, voice mail. I think direct voice-on-voice contact, um, presentation info sessions where people can understand and really get a deep dive on the company and really connect with the founder and understand the founder's mission, all like a Zoom conference. All those are communication methods that folks are experimenting with and trying.Devin: Excellent.Devin: Mark, anything you want to add?Mark: No. I mean, the DealMaker is a good example of believing that that kind of stuff's important. I mean, they bought, you know, what they would argue what a lot of people would argue was sort of the premier marketing firm. Right. To go out and tell stories, to make it part of a vertically integrated approach. I mean, so, you know, for us, the purpose rounds isn't a company; it's just a category we're trying to help define, right? It's if you're a historically excluded founder or a woman founder or you're doing, you know, an impact thing, and you're doing one of these Reg A. We would define that sort of as trying to raise a round of funding with purpose. That's a purpose round. And so, so we chose to engage by saying, look, we have resources, and so why don't we come alongside founders who want to do this column alongside company operators who want to do this? Because one thing about it is that it can be sort of semi-complicated. There's a bunch of vendors. I mean, what DealMaker has done so well, say, well, we'll in-house some of those, right? So it's a much more seamless kind of approach. So they have a transfer agent and but you still have a lawyer, and you still have an auditor, and you still...Mark: So, it still can be kind of complex. And number two, it can be expensive. I mean, you write a check to all those people, and, you know, Ian can attest to you can be a hugely successful company doing really, really well for a long time. And you don't just pull sort of free money out of your ear to make things happen. That's, you know, that can be a real challenge. So we just said, why don't we help try to take those two things off the table? Number one, why don't we try to come alongside and sort of help do some top-level management so it's a little bit easier to manage the vendors? And then number two, why don't we use some of our capital and just fund the whole thing in a model that gets us that money back at some point so we can help somebody out too. But how do we take all the all that, you know, how do I come up with the money off the table and just provide the money? And that then opens up the ability to do things like marketing and focusing on storytelling in a way that you maybe would have a hard time swallowing otherwise.Devin: Yeah, well.Devin: Our time is, is up. And this has just been a fascinating discussion for me, and I'm grateful for all of your insights and for you making the time. I'm grateful to those who joined us today to hear what you're saying. Before we wrap up, let me invite each of you to just take a minute and share a closing thought, a brief closing thought. We just have a minute or two, but why don't we go to Rebecca, Mark and then Ian?Rebecca: Why you're here is to talk about impact investing, and I think the snowball's rolling down the hill.Devin: It's a great message. Great message.Devin: Mark, any closing thoughts?Mark: Closing thoughts? Uh. Um. Invest.ParkerClay.com.Ian: That was my thought, Mark.Mark: Oh, now you got to come up with something. You're the...Rebecca: You're mine too, but I can't say it.Ian: I know it would feel weird about it.Mark: I'm like, I'm the one person who could just come out and say it.Ian: I love that. You'll see if you go on LinkedIn, Mark often will do that on my post in case I miss it. Look, I'm, I'm honored for anyone who is listening or part of this that you would consider investing. We're in kind of the tail end of our last few months of this round. And so we're going to be making a big push to bring in the hopefully the final amounts of what we're hoping to raise. So would love to have you check out the site. Invest.ParkerClay.com, and email me you can email me directly at Ian@ParkerClay.com. If you have any questions, I'm happy to chat more about what we're doing or questions about these types of rounds.Devin: Fantastic.Devin: Well, again, thank you, all three of you. I'm extremely grateful for your time. You know, the insights that you're providing are profoundly important, and it is exciting to think it truly is exciting to think for social entrepreneurs and diverse founders to think about the possibility that the very purpose that motivates and drives them is enabling their success and is not a friction, but it is a tool for accomplishing success and raising capital. To those of you who attended today, I want to thank you very much. Whether you're watching on YouTube or elsewhere or whether you're here with us in Zoom, we thank you very much for being here. I invite you to visit thesupercrowd.com to check out our upcoming future events. We will be holding three in-person events this fall and early winter. Um, we're at the earliest stages of planning, but it looks like we'll be in Salt Lake City in Baltimore and perhaps Northern California later this year, and we will continue doing the super crowd once a month. And so our next super crowd hour will be on August 19th, I think. Let's let me just double-check. August 16th, excuse me, August 16th. So four weeks from today, we'll see you here again. So thanks, everybody. I hope to see you again soon. Get full access to Superpowers for Good at devinthorpe.substack.com/subscribe

So much is said and discussed about mental health, stress, and resilience - especially now. The impact of the "pandemic," geopolitical discord, and so much uncertainty - has challenged how we feel, how we show up, and even who we are. Many people question, "What's next?" or ponder "their next chapter." I thought to bring back conversations I've had with three key thought-leaders in "Resilience" and "Health and Wellness" to guide us in deeper conversations. Our theme for the next month and a half is "Invest Now for Greatness Tomorrow." Today, Dr. Pete Ronayne - Portfolio Manager - Center for Creative Leadership, begins his conversation about "Resilience" and the neuroscience around burnout, stress, and how to bounce-back and burn bright. Listen as he shares profound and practical content that will help us all be more resilient and what signs to be aware of when we're stressed. Dr. Pete's humor, intellectual delivery and practical approach makes the complex topics of neuroscience and neuroleadership understandable and applicable, regardless of your position or industry. Everyone will benefit from this conversation. Join us June 16th for Part 2 of Dr. Pete's conversation --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dr-l-d-bennett1/message

The latest reports on inflation have given the economy indigestion. The Consumer Price Index hit 9.1%, the Producer Price Index hit 11.3%, and the Fed's preferred gauge, the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index or PCE, hit 6.8%. They are all signs that inflation is much too high and the reason the Federal Reserve just hiked short term interest rates another whopping three-quarters of a percent. So what's the best way to invest when inflation is working against you? (1, 2, 3)Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review.Four Peaks Capital put together a great list of all the options that I received in an email which I will share with you in this episode. The company is mostly focused on large multi-family projects, but this list pertains to everyone.Investing Options1 - First on the list is cash. It's not an investment as much as it is a way to preserve a certain quantity of money. But when there's a high rate of inflation, that same quantity of money will be worth less over time. As Four Peaks explains: Putting $100,000 under your mattress for something you want to buy in a year, won't cover the cost. At today's rate of inflation, you'll need an additional 9.1% or $9,100. So hiding your money under the mattress isn't a great idea if you don't want to lose money. Warren Buffett would agree. He says: “The first rule of an investment is don't lose money. The second rule of an investment is don't forget the first rule.” Let's take a look at your other options.2 - You can invest in stocks. Wall Street is a magnet for investor enthusiasm and money, but people are often invested at the worst possible times. A period of inflation is typically one of those times. As inflation rises and the Federal Reserve raises rates, stocks often fall because it'll cost more money for companies to get the funding they need to do business. We've seen some major stock losses lately because of investor concerns on inflation.3 - Crypto, Blockchain, and NFTs have become a new investment category, and it's gotten a lot of attention, but it's also very volatile. The crypto market had soared to a peak of about $3 trillion dollars, but when the economy got choppy, crypto got chopped. Investors liquidated their gains and the crypto market quickly shrank to just $1 trillion. The high-flying leader of the pack, Bitcoin, had actually hit $69,000 earlier this year but is now down to one third of that value.4 - You can buy Certificates of Deposit, or CDs, as a more traditional and safer way to invest money. NerdWallet has a list of CDs, and its top choice is a CD with a fixed 5-year term at 3.35%. But even that percentage won't make you money because inflation is so high. At 9.1%, inflation wipes out the gain and leaves you with a -5.75% loss.5 - You can put your money into a Money Market Account. But the interest you'll earn is even less than a CD. It's more like 1% right now, although that could increase as the Fed raises rates, but at 1%, you stand to lose -8% of your investment because of inflation.6 - High-Yield Savings Accounts are another option. They are supposed to give you a better interest rate than money market accounts. But the extra bump in interest only reduces the loss you'd get from a CD by a tiny amount.7 - Annuities can provide better gains, but they still don't offset today's rate of inflation. Four Peaks explains it like this: “Some of the best fixed-income annuity rates right now hover in the 4.5% range, but that doesn't take into account administration fees of 1-3% annually, putting real rates at 1.5% to 3.5%. In the best-case scenario, the annual loss of the best annuity is -5.6% when considering inflation.”8 - And then you have Treasuries. The 10-year treasury might give you 2.96%, but when you account for inflation, you end up with a loss of -6.41%. So, we've run through “eight” investing options and none of them make your money grow when inflation is as high as it is. That leaves us with an eighth option that covers a lot of “ground,” no pun intended. As Four Peaks puts it: “Cash flowing tangible assets tied to essential goods… that consumers will always need… like shelter.” Four Peaks says: “That's why certain classes of commercial real estate like affordable housing will thrive in downturns.” 9 - The ninth option is real estate. At RealWealth, we focus on single-family rentals which also provide a tangible asset that's in high demand. The foreclosure crisis produced the first big surge in demand for single-family rentals. And now we're seeing a new surge because people who can't afford to buy a home, still crave the single-family lifestyle.We recently had an investor on my other podcast, The Real Wealth Show, who was not discouraged by today's market. Jimmy Vreeland believes that the housing market slowdown is providing an opportunity for investors to find deals, and there's no better time to buy real estate than the present. He says: “You don't wait to buy real estate. You buy real estate, and wait.” In other words, the value of your real estate will go up in time. Jimmy talks about how you can maximize that potential with the "value add" concept.Plus, when you borrow money, like most people do when acquiring real estate, you are getting another hedge against inflation. It's like the inflation is eating away at your debt.If you are interested in hearing more about how to invest in real estate when prices are high, please check out Jimmy's interview.

Home buyers are getting cold feet because of high home prices and mortgage rates. A new report from Redfin shows the number of buyers canceling deals is now the highest it's been since the beginning of the pandemic. The pullback is also impacting builders. A report by John Burns Real Estate Consulting says they are lowering prices as they try to offload inventory. Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review.The Redfin report shows that homebuyers canceled 15% of the deals that went under contract in June. That's about 60,000 deals and the highest percentage of cancellations since the early days of the pandemic. About a month ago, in May, 12.7% of the deals were canceled. And about a year ago, that figure was 11.2%. (1)More Homebuyers Canceling DealsAnalysts say buyers may have different motives for canceling their purchases including the possibility that home prices might go lower in the coming months, and they might get a better deal if they wait. For those who don't want to wait, there's less competition and that's giving them more negotiating power. Redfin's deputy chief economist, Taylor Marr, says there are fewer buyers willing to waive inspections and appraisals, for example. By doing that, they have more time to weigh the pros and cons of a deal and get out if something turns up during the inspection, or the home doesn't appraise.The Redfin report also says that some homebuyers simply don't qualify with the higher mortgage payments. Marr says: “If rates were 5% when you made the offer, but hit 5.8% by the time the deal was set to close, you may no longer be able to afford that home or you may no longer qualify for the loan.”Redfin says that Las Vegas has the highest percentage of cancellations in June at 27.2%. Several Florida cities that have seen strong home price growth are high on the list along with New Orleans, Phoenix, and Houston. It's a long list that ranges from the Las Vegas high to a low of about 2.6% in Newark, New Jersey. Metros that had at least 1,000 pending home sales in June were included in this analysis.Home Builders Lowering PricesHome builders are also seeing higher cancellation rates. A report from John Burns Real Estate Consulting says 9.3% of new home deals were canceled in May. That's almost three percent higher than May of last year. (2)John Burns' senior vice president, Jody Kahn, says: “Buyer's remorse and cancellations shortly after contract are increasing. Builders say that buyers are nervous about a potential recession, struggling to get comfortable with higher payments, or expecting home prices to decline.”The cancellation rate for homebuilders varied from region to region within each state. The John Burns research shows the highest cancellation rate at 27% in parts of Texas, and the lowest in some parts of the Southeast at 8%. That research shows that a quarter of the home builders are lowering their prices. A builder in Austin, Texas, told Realtor.com: “Sales have fallen off a cliff. We're selling ⅓ of what we sold in March and April.”Housing Inventory Turn-AroundOne positive impact of this high-price environment is an increase in inventory. A TV station in Texas reports that: “Major housing markets in Texas are finally seeing the beginning of a housing inventory rebound.” (3) As you may know, six months of inventory is considered normal for a balanced housing market. We're not seeing that yet, but this report says the numbers are rising in Houston, San Antonio, Dallas Fort Worth, and Austin.Many homebuyers are getting priced out of the market, but the need for housing will not go away. That creates an opportunity for investors, despite the high prices. A recent guest our other podcast, The Real Wealth Show, isn't discouraged by the high prices. His strategy: “You don't wait to buy real estate. You buy real estate and wait.” In other words, cash flow will come to those who wait for properties and rents to appreciate. The episode is called: “Invest Now or Wait?” with Jimmy Vreeland.

Raising or lowering the interest rates to combat inflation, may soon be a relic of the past. What am I talking about? I believe at some stage quite soon (like in the next 2-5 years), we're going to see central bank issued digital currencies. If you'd like to check out an episode I did on this with the RBNZ, check out ep 185: https://player.captivate.fm/episode/5aee9607-995f-4ea3-87ed-b7407c69424f (https://player.captivate.fm/episode/5aee9607-995f-4ea3-87ed-b7407c69424f) Central bank issued digital currencies or CBDC's will be a game-changer in so many ways, especially when it comes to targeting inflation. When a centralised authority has the power to influence the spending behavior at the individual level – it then becomes possible to manipulate the price of goods and services at the point of use. Don't think this is significant? What happens to the property market when interest rates don't need to move in response to changing economic activity? What happens to share markets when interest rates don't compete with capital in the same way? The new world requires new strategies to build new wealth.

Assisted Living and the Power of Positivity REady2Scale: Multifamily Investing with Ellie Perlman "The thing is, you have to empty your brain of the negative thoughts so that positive things can start happening in layers, over and over again. It can only happen if internally, we decide that we're going to look at the good, the bad, and the ugly as challenges. It's how we react to challenges, and accept them quickly, and see that it doesn't happen again." When many people think of multifamily, apartment style units usually come to mind first. However, the smaller submarket of assisted living can be highly profitable with the right person leading. After coming to America with just 7 dollars to his name, Vinney Chopra has embodied the "American Dream", purchasing and developing close to $1B in total acquisitions the last 15 years in different emerging markets across the U.S. Listen in to learn the benefits of ground-up developing for assisted living, the difference between managing assisted living versus apartment style multifamily assets, and how positive thinking can change your life for the better.

Due Diligence on 109 units Multifamily with Special Guest Jon Roosen! Investors - or just about anyone who's interested in real estate for that matter - will often come across the term due diligence when they are set to acquire a residential or commercial property. Going beyond legalese, due diligence is basically a term used to describe a set of processes formalizing the sale and turnover of a residential or commercial property. If you are set to acquire a multifamily complex of some 15, 50 or 200 units, it's essential to do your part of the due diligence before you are able to enjoy the cash flow generated by these assets. Sure enough, the due diligence part comes off as the most tedious and time consuming step in any real estate transaction. Sometimes, it's easy to say, “Oh man, there's a lot to do. How about let's skip some steps and get straight to sealing the deal?” Oh, how I wish it would have been that simple! There are strict laws governing the sale of properties, and failing to handle all the necessary paperwork can put you at the receiving end of a legal complaint. This puts your reputation at risk, and not only will multifamily sellers see you under a negative light, but it will also affect future acquisitions. Will a mortgage lender approve your application for a loan if they know you have had failed to do your due diligence for a previous transaction? Obviously not.

Investing Into Multifamily Syndication | Bringing Value to the Deal If you already have considerable experience as a single-family real estate investor, then you already know just how difficult it is to get by in such a volatile market.

However, going alone through this route would definitely provide plenty of challenges. Most investors would prefer to join a multifamily syndication. And this is not only because they want to rub elbows and grow their networks. It goes beyond that. There are other more compelling reasons why you should join a syndication.

Why You Should Be Investing Into Senior Living Prior to the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, market speculators in the real estate investing sector saw 2021 as a great year for senior housing, a silver tsunami experience. With the bulk of the boomer generation retiring this year and in the near future, independent living communities, apartment complexes, and memory care communities are supposed to sell like hot cakes. That said, senior housing has also become a hot market for investors willing to cash in on the increasing demand for this asset class. It may take some time before the sector stabilizes, but one thing's for sure, the senior housing market will still see a consistent rise in demand. Invest NOW with Vinney, Learn NOW from Vinney!

‘Investing between the flags'So enter in the analogy of investing between the flags. If you visit some of the beaches this summer around the country that you haven't been to before, what you see on the surface, can often be masking a set of risks. I know from experience that jumping into raging body for a surf when you really can't swim that well, it can end pretty badly – rips, rocks, sharks sandflies - all can rob you of what would otherwise be an enjoyable day out. These external, macro-risks are often beyond our control, but if it can be made known it should be. Knowing the risks of what you invest in is important, but that's not the whole story. Can you swim? – if you can, how well? Have you just eaten, have you been drinking? Knowing what you want to achieve before you jump in and the limitations of what you're capable of can make all the difference when dealing financial markets, and the great outdoors.While the content today is really awesome – the audio quality is pretty rough - it was recorded in Wellington in a meeting room and not in the studio, but still, I Hope you enjoy the show regardless.Who is Anthony Edmonds? He's is the founder and managing director of Implemented Investment Solutions (IIS), which manages over $5 billion across three businesses.  This comprises of fund hosting, where IIS issues and manages funds for a range of different investment specialists.  IIS is also the parent business of the fast growing online investment platform InvestNow.  InvestNow enables investors to build portfolios from a wide range of PIE funds, ETFs, and bank term deposits - further, you can now mix you're own KiwiSaver from a selection of 12 leading funds on their platform.  Anthony has deep understanding of investment funds, and the New Zealand investment landscape.  Outside of work he is a keen mountain biker, and often ventures into New Zealand's remote backcountry on multi-day adventures.This Thursday the 29th of July at 7pm – you need to pop into your diary and register for the Great DebateArticle of interest regarding wholesale investment offers:  https://www.goodreturns.co.nz/article/976517918/opinion-wholesale-investor-regime-no-loophole.html. Article mentioned in this episode around what happens when custody goes wrong: https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/124436977/serious-fraud-office-charges-christchurch-finance-whiz-with-fraud-and-forgeryCustody isn't licensed – if you invest through a platform or fund manager that's somewhat connected to the custodian, should this be of concern? Based on what I know around this (which is fairly limited I must confess), I wouldn't suggest for a second that if you use a fund manager or platform that also operates it's own custody solution that you as an investor are taking higher risks by default. Custody may not be licensed, but neither are babysitters. In some cases, due to the regulation and best practices around the underlying fund manager, indirectly they do have standards they must uphold - I'd encourage you to do some due diligence around this for yourself if this is of concern, and have a conversation with your KiwiSaver provider, your fund manager, or your digital platform provider. I'm reminded also of the conversation I had with Leighton Roberts from Sharesies in Ep 79 - it may not be possible in some cases to use separate custodians. _____________________________________________________________The NZ Everyday Investor is brought to you in partnership with Hatch.

Although this statement is true and great advice, there still needs to be a balance.  Sometimes, we get so caught up in trying to get ahead financially that we forget that it is ok to live a little. In today's episode, we talk about an amazing question from Trevor. Trevor asks about short term gratification and living life to the fullest vs growing net worth as fast as possible. Trevor is debt free, 22 years old, and has a net worth approaching $400k. Although he is doing so well with money, he is finding it hard to find the right time to spend a little bit of his money and enjoy it!We discuss things we have done and wish they would have done as a younger adult. We both agree that we would make some changes, but still talk about the importance of saving money and setting yourself up financially FIRST. You have to enjoy life while you are here and there are ways you can do so without going thousands of dollars into credit card debt or spending all of your money on materialistic items.Thank you so much for your question Trevor!Cheers

Democratisation - the action of making something accessible to everyone.Sharesies is proving to be one of NZ top online investment platforms. If you'd like to sign up and give it a go, please click on the following link to help with the production of this podcastGiving the person with 1 cent the same opportunities as the person with $1m is one of the foundation principles used by the founders of Sharesies to bring their product to the market.Traditionally, would be 'wealth-developers', have been locked out of investing unless they had significant sums to invest. It just wasn't possible or if it was, it wasn't cost efficient. Sharesies pioneered the practice of 'fractionalisation' with investing, enabling more people to come to the party with what they had. The result? Over 70,000 Kiwi's now have a Sharesies account and the average balance is sitting at over $2k each.It's been over a year since I caught up with the Sharesies team and a lot has happened since then. Yes there are more players in this space, with Kernel Wealth, Hatch, and Invest Now to name a few. The good news is that the 'pie' of everyday Kiwi's playing the game is growing.Focusing on the everyday investor, Sharesies enables those with smaller amounts to invest in not only exchange traded funds, but now also shares listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX). This is massive.The other thing Sharesies does incredibly well, is that it allows an account to be set up for children. From personal experience I have struggled to teach my kids about investing, but having this tool is a great assist.If you'd like to give this a go, or check them out, go here. _________________________________________________________________Like what you’ve heard?You can really help with the success of the NZ Everyday Investor by doing the following:1- Tell your friends!2- Write a review on Facebook, or your favourite podcast player3- Help support the mission of our show on Patreon by contributing here4- Search for The Everyday Investor on YouTube5- Sign up to our newsletter hereNZ Everyday Investor is on a mission to increase financial literacy and make investing more accessible for the everyday person!__________________________________________________________________Where to find Darcy Ungaro:Ungaro &Co (registered) financial advisersFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/UFinServ/?ref=bookmarksInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ungaro.co.nz/

What's the problem? For the self-directed investor, there's a bit of work to do in order to access and manage your investments. Accounts with various banks, potentially a share-trading account, a couple of online platforms perhaps. Different credentials to recall and most annoying, AML/ CFT (compliance / ID checks) process to go through each time.What's Invest Now? It's a simple and affordable way to access multiple investment options in one place.Mike Heath joins me on a discussion that we had when I went down to Wellington recently, via Christchurch (no, it's not on the way).These online investment platforms are popping up everywhere it seems - they all work a little different to each other and they serve a different community of DIY investors out there. I'm learning about them at the moment so hopefully, this is of interest to you also:Here are some key 'light-bulb' moments covered in this episode:Often people may be afraid to seek financial advice as they believe they're not smart enough to do so. Seems counter-intuitive, but it does make sense. The reason we need advice is that we don't have all the answers, but often pride can act as our own worst enemy here. We hate to admit it when we don't have the answer.The bulk of New Zealanders are un-served by financial advisers - online platforms like Invest Now provide a very inoffensive and un-daunting access point for many who may be afraid to engage in a face to face encounter with a financial adviser. If there's a need and desire to use an adviser, however, the Invest Now platform can actually now accommodate that too.Mainstream media. Often credibility is bestowed upon advertisers - this is crazy but just because a finance firm during the finance company collapse a decade ago advertised in the Herald, doesn't mean the trust placed in them was justified. Mainstream media can be an excellent platform to increase financial literacy - but this doesn't always occur.Whether it's an online investment platform, KiwiSaver, or another investment product you access through an adviser, often a 'custodian' is used. In this episode, Mike covers how platforms, custodians, fund managers and investments all work together.What's an ETF, a mutual fund, or an index fund?Self-employed people often don't have KiwiSaver but they should. Beyond getting the tax credit however, online platforms like Invest Now offer another alternative way to simulate what's in a KiwiSaver fund.It's great to see online investment platforms grow in popularity - There will likely be much innovation happening in digital advice and robo-advice space in the coming years. Will financial advisers be made redundant as this trend roles on? No, but I do think the role of an adviser needs to change dramatically. Removing friction is what these platforms do well, but the easier it is to get in, the easier it is to get out of investments also - perhaps the biggest strength is also their biggest weakness - enter the new breed of financial advisers._________________________________________________________________Like what you've heard?You can really help with the success of the NZ Everyday Investor by doing the following:1- Tell your friends!2- Write a review on Facebook, or your favourite podcast player3- Help support the mission of our show on Patreon by contributing here4-  Search for The Everyday Investor on YouTube5-  Sign up to our newsletter hereNZ Everyday Investor is on a mission to increase financial literacy and make investing more accessible for the everyday person! __________________________________________________________________Where to find Darcy Ungaro:Ungaro &Co (registered) financial advisers https://www.ungaro.co.nzFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/UFinServ/?ref=bookmarksInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ungaro.co.nz/

People across the political spectrum find common ground in advocating for investing in early childhood programs to make sure children in our communities are ready to thrive and succeed in school. But how early should those programs start? To what extent should parents be actively involved? And what return on investment can we really expect, assuming programs follow best practices?   University of Minnesota economist Dr. Art Rolnick and Executive Director of Way to Grow, Carolyn Smallwood, join forces in this Mom Enough discussion to address those questions and to highlight the importance of building strong, culturally relevant partnerships with parents even before their baby is born. (Way to Grow is a supporting partner of Mom Enough.)   What are some of the longterm benefits of effective programs for parents and very young children? How would those results benefit your whole community and, in specific, affect the quality of your own life, now and later? What did Art Rolnick say about the financial return on investment (ROI) for investing in early childhood programs and how do you think that ROI compares to other public investments in our communities?   For Is Your Young Child On Track to Succeed in School?, click here.

Jennifer Williams of Cuddle Clones is making Louisville startup history! Cuddle Clones already made world history by creating the only scalable company that allows you to order online and create a lifelike replica of your pet (https://cuddleclones.com/). Now, they just made Louisville history by becoming the first Louisville area company to sell equity in their company to the general public under the new Regulation CF crowdfunding laws. These laws allow a company like Cuddle Clones to sell equity in their company to ANYONE for as little as $100 minimum investments. This method of startup fundraising is the way of the future. It will help Louisville get more startups started and let a lot more local people share in the profits! INVEST NOW!   Check out my interview with Jennifer and find out: ◊ Where did the idea come from for Cuddle Clones? ◊ How did they get started? ◊ Where did their early funding come from? ◊ How did they decide to use Regulation CF crowdfunding to raise capital, and what's the process like? ◊ What can we do to continue to improve Louisville's startup scene?   Transcript (machine generated, so please forgive the typos): Alan: 00:02 Hey everybody, welcome to the Metro Startup Launcher podcast. This is Alan Grosheider, and today I'm talking to my friend Jennifer Williams. She's the chief cloning officer of the company. She started called cuddle clones and in my opinion, Jennifer's now blazing a trail that will be the way of the future for startup companies to raise capital in the area and said, Hey Jennifer, how are you? Good. So she just started a regulation cf crowdfunding capital raise that allows anybody, not just rich accredited investors to invest as little as $100 bucks in her company. But first let's kind of talk a little bit about what your company is it called. It's called cuddle clones. Tell us what's the. What do you do at cudell clones Jennifer: 00:53 and our flagship product. The cuddle clone is a stuffed animal that's made to look just like your pet. So customers go onto our website, they upload pictures, they tell us all the special characteristics about their pet and make a few choices and in several weeks they get a plush animal that looks just like their pet and has the markings and every other sort of special thing that represents their pet. Alan: 01:19 How did you get it to look? Right? I had to have some that came back and you're just like, what is that? Jennifer: 01:30 Definitely. Um, it took a while. Uh, this business started out of an idea from the University of Louisville Entrepreneurship Mba program and we kind of did a lot of the academic thing, like a business plan and industry analysis. And at the end of the program we said, okay, well, does anyone actually know how to make a stuffed animal? And we're looking at each other like, no. Alan: 01:53 Okay. Jennifer: 01:55 So a good two years from the program until we launch to get the product. Right. So we went through several consultants. Um, we did, we looked at the US, we looked at Vietnam, we looked at uh, other places, uh, ended up in China where we actually own our own workshop now and that's actually a really good competitive advantage for us just because we have full control over the quality and there are employees, so, so that's super nice Alan: 02:31 entrepreneurs, a lot of opinions as to whether you can start a company where you don't necessarily know how to do exactly what you're going to do. And I'm, I've always been of the opinion that the entrepreneur, the person who makes the company work is the person that just pulls everybody together. There. Tom Sawyer that gets everybody on board and convinces them to keep moving in the right direction. And it's, you know, it'd be nice if you are sometimes if you're an expert in the area that you're starting the company, but if you really have a passion for,
