Podcast appearances and mentions of jed emerson

Today, I'm thrilled to welcome back Jed Emerson, our first-ever repeat guest on the show.Jed is a true impact pioneer and has spent decades thinking about and exploring how to create impact and value that is in alignment with who you are – your values, your goals, and your purpose.Jed's impact journey began in the gritty Tenderloin district of San Francisco, California, where he founded a homeless youth center at the height of the AIDS epidemic. This experience led to his dissatisfaction with the nonprofit sector, where funding was too often hinged on politics, persuasion, and perception rather than on real performance.He wanted to rewrite that script.By a stroke of serendipity, Jed crossed paths with George Roberts  – the “R” in the renowned global investment firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR). Roberts was searching for a way to do good with his wealth that didn't feel empty or disconnected from his business roots.Together, they launched an experimental private equity fund where he learned firsthand that social progress and financial savvy don't have to sit at opposite ends of the table. They can be integrated into what Jed later called “blended value.”Fast forward to the present, and Jed is now the Chief Impact Officer at AlTi Tiedemann Global, which is a global wealth management firm, guiding next-generation family members who are questioning the purpose of their inherited wealth.But don't be fooled into thinking this is a victory lap story. Jed remains as restless and inquisitive as ever, living by his five-year cycles of asking (and answering) life's biggest questions about capital, community, and our collective future.And if you need any proof that Jed is never short on surprises, his book, ‘The Purpose of Capital' inspired a music video. Yes, you read that right: a music video about impact investing.Jed discusses impact investing's key challenge: ensuring tangible outcomes aren't lost to good intentions and slick marketing. He explains why every investment carries an undeniable social and environmental footprint.If you're ready to rethink the purpose of wealth and capital, join us to hear Jed's mix of pragmatic investing and ethical commitment to improving our world.His story will remind you that success isn't just about returns. It's about finding new questions worth asking time after time.—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email updateVisit the SRI360° PODCASTVisit the SRI360° WEBSITEFollow SRI360° on XFollow SRI360° on FACEBOOK—Additional Resources:- AlTi website- AlTi LinkedInConnect with Jed:- Website- LinkedIn- BlueSkyJed's books:- Impact Investing: Transforming How We Make Money While Making a Difference- The Purpose of Capital: Elements of Impact, Financial Flows, and Natural Being- 'What If' music video- Toniic Institute - GIIN (Global Impact Investing Network)Check out Jed Emerson's first appearance on the SRI360 podcast:- Listen here- Watch on YouTube

I'm not sure; I've never actually read this, but I had heard it attributed to him—the whole notion of humbition. By humbition, I mean the idea that we should be hugely ambitious in the agenda that we seek to advance but approach the advancement of that agenda with a posture of humility.Jed Emerson is one of the real O.G.s of impact investing. He conceived of and popularized “blended value” to describe seeking both profits and social impact. Today, he serves as the chief impact officer for Alvarium Tiedemann (AlTi).Though he has been teaching the idea of blended value for decades, I asked him to recap its significance:In the late eighties and the early nineties, I really moved out of traditional nonprofit work and into what's become known as impact investing. One of the things that really kind of helped me in that process was the realization that a lot of us were having very similar conversations with different people, all of whom thought they were having very different discussions, but all of which, to my mind centered on this issue of how we understand the nature of the value that we create. I think that in traditional practices of nonprofit versus for-profit, we're asked to choose. We're asked to function within a bifurcated value proposition that says that you either make an investment or you make a grant, you work for a nonprofit, or you work for a for-profit. And I think many of us have come to conclude that that actually it's a both-and proposition that companies and businesses create social and environmental value and impacts and that nonprofits have economic worth, and that we really need to take a more integrated blended value approach.His move to AlTi was motivated by a growing sense of urgency, spurred in part by the pandemic.“We're basically destroying the living planet in order to save ourselves and killing ourselves in that process,” he says. “That raises a whole host of issues in terms of how we interact with nature, how we think about the climate crisis—how we respond.”“George Floyd's murder, the rise of Black Lives Matter—all of this—raised serious issues for all of us,” Jed says. “For me, I'm 64; I started thinking about how I want to spend the next 5 to 10 years of my career.”“We are running out of time,” he says. “If we are serious about the climate crisis, if we're serious about social inequity, I do not think we have another 50 years to have conversations. We need capital at scale to respond, not necessarily answer, but to respond to the challenges that already are at scale.”He concluded that it was time to move from his private practice, despite the significant influence he wielded from that seat, to find a way to have an even more significant impact. “We need more of us to be kind of going into the belly of the beast, if you will, and grappling with the challenge of what that means.”“We need to really understand and explore and grapple really with the challenge of bringing those innovations into the mainstream so that as impact investing continues to scale, it does so with integrity, it does so with a focus and understanding of systems change as opposed to product offering and wealth accumulation,” Jed says.In this work, Jed now employs a superpower he calls humbition, borrowing the term, he says, from Walter Brueggemann.How to Develop Humbition As a SuperpowerJed has mastered the art of seeking to make change at scale while approaching problems humbly.Things change and evolve, so what we think we know isn't always true, even if earlier consensus suggested it was. “Answers and understandings of the world and reality and solutions evolve and change and shift, and what we understood to be true ten years ago, 20 years ago, 30 years ago, may look different today or from the way it will look tomorrow,” Jed says.As urgent as things now are, many of the challenges we face are challenges humans have wrestled with for a long time. “Nothing that we are grappling with today is anything other than what humanity has grappled with for millennia,” Jed says. “We need to just calm down and not fall victim to the idea that simply because we're the latest, that we're the best and the smartest and the most talented.” That's a serious dose of humility.Jed's perspective has changed over time. When I think of who I was in my twenties and thirties, I probably would have thrown myself out of my own office in my sixties because I was very passionate. I thought I was very smart. I couldn't figure out why these older people who were in positions of power to create change would not listen to me and create the change that I thought we should advance.Today, when I'm in meetings with colleagues, when I'm in meetings with prospective clients and with active clients, I'm trying to continually pause and simply be in that moment and hear what it is that that person is really stating what they're grappling with in terms of their issues and how are they showing up in the world.We have to get to a place where you can almost lose yourself in that in order to dial back your internal voice, your own ego, your own ideas to really receive and understand what the other person is grappling with, what that other community is grappling with in order to be able then to make a contribution.We can default into these oppositional places when the real solution, I hope, lies ahead of both of us. If we reorient away from “my position” to “our co-created solution,” that's really where we need to be directing our energies.This is not a perspective that I had, again, ten years ago. I certainly did not have it 30 years ago. The last book that I wrote, The Purpose of Capital, which we spoke about. I could not have written that book ten or 20 or 30 years ago because it basically says we need to sit more deeply with the questions.We need to reflect on what we collectively actually know as opposed to what I understand myself today. The righteousness of my ideas is not as important as the ability to influence and execute those ideas with others and a confidence that those ideas will shift and evolve and change as they see the light of day and as we move forward together.By following Jed's example and his advice for employing humbition, you can make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.

She completed her PhD in technology policy and development and has been thinking about how to intertwine the two ever since. She is passionate about bringing good people together, and proving that investment in good business(es) is one of the keys to best serving the under-served on this planet.  Audrey has a background in management consulting from PricewaterhouseCoopers, and her entrepreneurial experience includes several years spent in business development, marketing and sales at an NSF-funded software start-up called Wireless Grids Corporation.  Artha Impact The Artha Impact team has been working since 2007 as the impact investing arm of Rianta Capital, which is a dedicated advisory to the Singh Family Trust.

Today Artha Impact holds a robust portfolio of direct early/growth stage investments and a small handful of impact funds in the country.  Sectors of focus include - but have not been limited to - agriculture, healthcare and livelihoods. Key Points: There is an incredible network of like minded family offices Artha Network platform  help coordinate discovery and create more visibility. “The information about who's doing what and where should not be left to chance, because the opportunity costs are just too high in the event that things go wrong, and things don't happen the right way.” Partnership with Menterra, one of the oldest social enterprise incubator in India. Biosense - last mile health diagnostic service Collaborative learning and action is key to solving the last mile challenge Telecoms & Beer are succeeding in the last mile - the narrative must change to grease the wheels, otherwise we continue to propagate the same exact mentality that is contributing to hundreds of parallel silos. Something that gets people to see a carrot that changes the behaviour where we're all competing against each other to develop on SDG X. Impact Measurement - we encourage folks that we work with to pick 2 or 3 things that are really tangible and possible to measure Taxonomies - we are trying to keep it simple Partnerships play a crucial role in due diligence - We had 40% of investors reported in the GIIN survey, express willingness to utilize other investor's due diligence documentation, and that's a sea change.  Every player has a lot to contribute, technology is amplifying what each and every one of us can do. “Federation and King of the Hill strategies, domination strategies aren't going to work today. There is too much empowerment at the end notes that is propelled by technology.” “None of us is as smart as all of us.” Time Stamp: [04:22] How do you define sustainable and impact investing?

Impact investing advisor Jed Emerson speaks with Penta senior writer Abby Schultz about trends in impact investment for 2021, and about joining Tiedemann Advisors as global lead of impact investing.

Given the capitalistic societies most of us live in, we spend an inordinate amount of time focused on accumulating, growing, and deploying capital. You could fill a library with all the books dedicated to the what and how of capital. Yet, we devote shockingly little time to considering the why of capital. Much in the same way Simon Sinek asks all businesses to “start with why”, Jed Emerson would like us purveyors of capital to start with why. In other words, we would be well served to stop and ask ourselves, what is the purpose of capital? With me today to tackle this question is Jed Emerson, one of the impact investment industry's elder statesmen who literally wrote the book on this topic. In addition to his writing, Jed currently focuses on working with families exploring how to ensure a long-term legacy by managing their full net worth for impact. He also advises investment firms on the implications of an impact investing framework for their practice. He is an internationally recognized Thought Leader in impact investing, social entrepreneurship, and strategic philanthropy. During the episode, Jed and I discuss his journey through the industry from his early days as a social worker to his current work as a writer and adviser. We also dig into the major themes in his book, The Purpose of Capital including the role of spirituality in impact investing, the role of Western dualism and our separation of self and other, and how Jed's views have evolved over the years. And be sure to stay tuned to the very end where we talk about what Jed believes we're getting wrong when it comes to impact measurement and management along with his outlook for the future of our industry. You can learn more about Jed by visiting his website or following him on Twitter.

My guest today is Ben Thornley, he’s co-founder and Managing Partner of Tideline, a specialist consultancy for the impact investment industry.

Jed Emerson shares his story of transitioning from his early passion of not-for-profit social work to systems change through impact investing. Jed provides a framework for addressing some of our most pressing issues today, including self-discovery.

This week’s guest is Antony Bugg-Levine, impact investing pioneer and CEO of the Nonprofit Finance Fund (NFF). Founded in 1980, NFF is a community development finance institution that provides financing and consulting to nonprofits across the country. In his role at NFF, Antony recently helped launch a $75mm Covid-19 response fund to support NYC nonprofit organizations most affected by the pandemic with both grants and interest free loans. Prior to his work at NFF, Antony was a Managing Director at the Rockefeller Foundation, where he led the foundation’s impact investing initiative. He is also the founding board chair of the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN) and author of the book “Impact Investing: Transforming How We Make Money While Making a Difference” with Jed Emerson. The conversation with Antony spans the history and evolution of the field of impact investing, from a revolving loan fund created in Benjamin Franklin’s will to the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 through the meeting where the phrase “impact investing” was coined in 2007. Antony also discusses the direct line between the civil rights movement and the modern field of impact investing. Lastly, he discusses his work with the Nonprofit Finance Fund and where he is finding hope during the current pandemic.

In his plenary address at SOCAP17 Jed Emerson said, “We need to understand the purpose of capital is not simply the absence of evil from our pursuit of wealth, something hard enough and potentially impossible for us to achieve, but the active pursuit of healing, wholeness, and love in this world.” In this episode, Lindsay sits down with Emerson, a personal mentor and longtime pillar of the SOCAP community, to discuss the field of impact investing from its origins to the present day. 

Welcome to episode 50 of The RegenNarration podcast! Which also commemorates the 76th anniversary of the birth of pioneering Australian systems thinker, and the man who introduced Anthony to the work of Hazel Henderson, the late Professor Frank Fisher. Fittingly then, this dual milestone episode features part 2 of Anthony's conversation with Hazel. Hazel and Anthony delve deeper here into 3 key systems – money, media & mind – including the growing momentum behind reclaiming media and the internet as ‘public square', the powerful resurgence underway in public banking, and some brilliant and at times surprising ways we can think about opportunities for regeneration. This special podcast with Hazel Henderson wandered across the personal and political, the heart felt and intellectual, the confronting and the thoroughly uplifting. More of Hazel's story is interwoven throughout this conversation - how being a concerned mother led to her becoming an activist, later evolving into one of the world's most respected figures in this space.

Antony Bugg-Levine has had a huge influence on the modern iteration of impact investing. He was there at the Belagio Hotel when the term was coined in 2007, he went on to write a seminal text on the subject with Jed Emerson, and he continues his work through the Nonprofit Finance Fund, where they work to make capital available to worthy causes that otherwise wouldn’t have it. Antony speaks quickly and I’m sure his mind moves even faster. I did my best to keep up with him in this conversation. He offered some rich insights, and it’s inspiring to get his perspective on the change the sector has experienced in the past decade.

Para nos ajudar a refletir sobre "Investimento de Impacto", convidámos Luís Jerónimo. Licenciado em Filosofia e Diretor do Programa Gulbenkian Coesão e Integração Social desde janeiro de 2019. Luís integra a Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian desde 2006, tendo trabalhado entre 2009 e 2010 na Delegação do Reino Unido desta Fundação. Foi gestor de projetos e Diretor Adjunto do Programa Gulbenkian Desenvolvimento Humano, coordenando iniciativas na área da inovação social e do investimento de impacto. É atualmente membro do Board of Directors da European Venture Philanthropy Association e Administrador não executivo da MAZE, uma startup dedicada ao investimento de impacto criada pela Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian. Atualmente começamos a ouvir falar de investimentos de impacto: o G8 criou a Social Impact Investment Task Force para potenciar o desenvolvimento do mercado de investimentos de impacto social; o banco JP Morgan identificou o investimento de impacto como uma nova classe de ativos que representa uma oportunidade mundial de investimentos na ordem dos 400 biliões a 1 trilião de dólares, particularmente nos setores da habitação, saúde, educação e serviços financeiros. Em Portugal, o recém-criado FIS (Fundo para a Inovação Social) prevê um investimento público de 55 milhões de euros destinado ao investimento social e a facilitar o acesso a financiamento por parte de organizações sociais (como o apoio a crianças ou idosos, a promoção da cultura, do ambiente e o apoio à integração de imigrantes). O investimento de impacto tem muitas designações que, independentemente da sua terminologia, é visto como um importante passo para a criação de formas inovadoras de responder às necessidades sociais e ambientais, ao mesmo tempo que gera retorno financeiro. Pode assim, incluir resultados double e triple-bottom line; investimentos relacionados com a missão de uma organização ou de um programa; o financiamento social (Emerson e Bonini 2003; Godeke e Pmares 2009; Monitor Report 2009) e o blended value. O “blended value”, articulado pela primeira vez por Jed Emerson, no início do ano 2000, declara ‘que todas as organizações, com ou sem fins lucrativos, criam valor económico, social e ambiental – e que os investidores (no mercado normal, no mercado controlado ou um mix dos dois) geram simultaneamente as três formas de valor através do fornecimento de capital para as organizações’ (Emerson e Bonini 2003). Compreender o conceito de blended value é a chave para entender as implicações do investimento de impacto para os investidores de capital e os seus destinatários.

Is Impact-investing a paradox? Is another complex financial structure really the best way to deal with the problems caused by putting too much faith in finance in the first place? It’s a valid concern, and it leads many in the sector to be forever on their guard, forever defining and redefining what this term, impact, really means. My guest today knows this challenge well. Jed Emerson has been at the forefront of impact investing’s evolution for many decades, and in his new book he asks us all to think far deeper than simply which fund structure will optimise gains, instead, he wants us to question what is the purpose of capital anyway? At the heart of it, why are we doing this. If it’s simply to alleviate our guilt for extracting profits then that’s not enough. I’m your host John Treadgold and I’m asking the big questions about the future of sustainable business, the new-economy and how your investment decisions, no matter how big or small, can have an impact. Jed is a stalwart of the impact scene, he co-authored the first book on impact investing and he coined the concept of Blended-Value some twenty years ago. He’s lectured at Harvard, Stanford and Oxford business schools. And I’ve always seen him as the conscience of impact investing, and perhaps even the conscience of capitalism, if his latest book is anything to go by. I really do hope you get as much out of this episode as I did. And I’ll be keen discuss it with you all on LinkedIn and on the Good Future Instagram page. Drop me a review on iTunes if you liked it.

Episode 96: Interview with Jed Emerson author of The Purpose of Capital: Elements of Impact, Financial Flows, and Natural Being In this inspiring and thought-provoking interview, Jed describes his decades long work in the field of impact investment and the motivation behind his most recent book The Purpose of Capital: Elements of Impact, Financial Flows,...

Never miss another interview! Join Devin here: http://bit.ly/joindevin. Read the full Forbes article and watch the interview here: http://bit.ly/2D9ZPhx. Jed Emerson, 59, widely recognized in the impact investing community, recently published a new book, The Purpose of Capital: Elements of Impact, Financial Flows and Natural Being, that calls into question some of the fundamental precepts of the movement, the very underpinnings of capitalism. Impact investors seek to solve social problems from poverty to climate change by making investments that will not only mitigate the ills but will provide a financial return. Early in his book, Emerson observes, “There is a central challenge in this effort to ‘do well and do good’ in that at its core is a commitment to making use of the very financial tools that have failed to create a just, equitable and sustainable world in the pursuit of creating a more just, equitable and sustainable world.” He’s suggesting we may be treating burn victims with fire because we depend on the light it provides. He may also be questioning our sanity by suggesting we're hoping to solve a problem by continuing to do much the same thing that created it.
