Monologue: What Does "Mindful Marketplace" Mean?

To say that the American system of money, power, and civic engagement is broken has become so common that it’s borderline cliche. And although there seem to be a lot of people talking about the problem while waiting for the next election cycle: Where exactly is the solution-based discussion about what you or I can do to make a positive impact as citizens yes, but also as consumers, as workers, as entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and investors?It’s Right Here. Here at the Mindful Marketplace, we believe that while policy matters, it's not enough to wait for the problem to be fixed for us from the top down. We also believe that you the listener have at your disposal two resources even more powerful than your vote: Your time and your money. On The Mindful Marketplace we share the stories of entrepreneurs, investors, economists and business leaders who are not only making a profit, but who are creating more equitable, sustainable, and democratic business practices and communities along the way. It's where we learn how to connect our money and our time to our values, our community, and ourselves. It’s where we learn how we can at every level do our part to create a more Mindful Marketplace.This program is brought to you by:Arc Integrated Be sure to visit BizRadio.US to discover hundreds more engaging conversations, local events and more.
