The Beauty of Innovation, with Align Impact's Jennifer Kenning

“We don’t have to do it just the way it’s been done for the last 50 and 60 years. That we can tweak some stuff and try some new stuff and we might fail, but let’s fail forward. Let’s fail fast, let’s fail often, and then let’s learn from that and pivot.” -Jennifer KenningJennifer founded Align Impact, an impact investment advisory firm. It is women-owned and women also make up the majority of the staff. Jennifer sees Align Impact as just one piece of an ecosystem she’s building. You’ll hear her talk about issues she encounters in the financial services industry, such as a lack of diversity. In this episode, Carol and Jennifer discuss helping people derive strategies that positively impact society, being a disrupter, getting the best investors behind your vision, the idea that competition makes you better, and more.
