131: Catalyzing Capital with Alexander Sterling

https://www.cultivatingself.org/ Alexander "Brave Journey" Sterling is a pioneering financial leader and the CEO/co-founder of Turtle Island Community Capital (TICC), a Native-led Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) dedicated to promoting economic sovereignty, climate justice, and cultural revitalization across Indigenous communities. With two decades of experience in clean energy and impact investing, and ancestral roots in the Ramapo Lenape Nation, Sterling works to build a regenerative capital ecosystem that honors traditional governance. He is a prominent voice challenging the status quo of impact finance, championing the view that "catalytic capital" must genuinely be the "first mover," taking on risk to unlock much-needed funding for historically excluded fund managers and entrepreneurs, thereby shifting power and resources where they are needed most. https://turtleislandcommunitycapital.org/ ... https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexander-sterling/ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAFtezgugMA
