Jeremiah Robinson
Discover the profound impact of conscious investing with our guest, Jeremiah Robinson, an entrepreneur and advocate for social change. Jeremiah, the entrepreneur in residence for Mountain BizWorks and Neighborhood Economics, enlightens us on how investing in each other can revolutionize our society and economy. We steer into the heavy topics of national debt and the role of big banks. Be prepared to have your perspective on investing shifted as we spotlight institutions like Project Equity and Shared Capital Cooperative and their inspiring work towards creating a balanced economy.
Dive deeper into the world of entrepreneurial support with Mountain Bizworks, a CDFI committed to fostering economic growth by providing essential financial capital, educational resources, and personalized coaching. Hear real-life success stories of entrepreneurs overcoming financial barriers with the help of Mountain Bizworks, and learn about the widespread issue of mixing personal and business funds. Jeremiah shares his experience of mentoring a budding entrepreneur, who, through perseverance and exceptional business acumen, transformed into a Mountain Bizworks coach and facilitator. Join us in our second episode with Jeremiah, where we explore the transformative work of Neighborhood Economics. This is a conversation that challenges us to reconsider our financial habits and compels us to invest with intention and purpose.
We then delve into this very concept on the Mindful Marketplace. Jeremiah, who is an entrepreneur himself and a member of Neighborhood Economics, unfolds the work he does with Mountain Bizworks and the CDFI in empowering individuals with limited resources to kick-start their own ventures. More importantly, we shine a light on the disparities that black-owned businesses face and Jeremiah's vision for a world where these entrepreneurs not only survive but thrive.
Switching gears to local business empowerment, we dig deep into the profound impact of investing in marginalized communities. Initiatives like the Star West in San Antonio and the American Indians of Texas are leading the charge in fostering entrepreneurship within low-income communities. And guess what? Western North Carolina is gaining momentum too with efforts like the Catalyst Fund. Wrapping up our discussion, we reflect on our first video experiment, inviting you to join us on this journey on BizRadio.US. By investing in each other, we can create a just economy. So, tune in and discover how your investment can become a catalyst for change!
