Bill Young is one of the founding fathers of impact investing. He is Founder and Partner of a non-profit called Social Capital Partners which pursues high-risk creative solutions that tackel big real-world problems. In this episode, Bill recounts his previous career feeling like a marionette to 28 year old, red-suspender wearing investment bankers, the early days getting Social Capital Partners off the ground, how three big failures forced him to pivot several times, and the biggest social challenges he's most excited about tackling right now. This is a longer episode but it's worth listening to every minute! #impactinvesting #socialfinance #socialenterprise #investing #kindwealth #impactinvestingpodcast
