All,
I’m excited to share Episode #27 of the Impact Investing Podcast. This episode is all about how the world of Private Equity and how some of the structures and practices in this space can create social and environmental problems and risks.
In this episode of the Impact Investing Podcast, I caught up with Delilah Rothenburg, Founder and Executive Director of The Predistribution Initiative. The Predistribution Initiative is a multi-stakeholder project designed to co-create improved investment structures, particularly for mainstream markets.
Their goal is to share more wealth with workers and communities, incentivize investment teams for environmental, social, and governance (or ESG) integration, and ultimately make sure that systemic risks - like income inequality and climate change - are addressed.
In our conversation, Delilah and I discuss the many challenges within traditional private equity structures, from outsized influence to unfair profit distribution and market instability. Plus, what investment professionals at all levels of the playing field can do to solve them. And be sure to stay tuned to the very end where we discuss how The Predistribution Initiative is exploring new solutions to these traditional private equity issues.

Also, I recently released a recording of a conversation we held under the Kind Wealth Club about the future of food. Our meat-filled diets can damage the environment, as well as our own and animals’ well-being. So what could a post-animal food system look like? In this episode we discuss topics such as plant-based meats (e.g. Beyond Meat), plant-based dairy alternatives (e.g. Oatly), cultured or lab-grown meat, insect proteins, and a host of other topics. To discuss all of this we're joined by two leaders in this space including:
Jennifer Stojkovic, Founder ofVegan Women’s Summit and host of VWS Pathfinders podcast
Elysabeth Alfano, Founder of Plant Powered Consulting and host ofThe Plantbased Business Hour
