We Are the Economy

from State of Inclusion · host State of Inclusion: Ame Sanders, Social Media and Marketing Coordinator: Kayla Nelson, Sound: Uros Nikolic

A lot of us are watching our economy fall short — for us, for our neighbors, for our communities. Our communities need us to step up. They need our time, our energy — and, yes, our money. After all, we are the economy. Our choices, individually and together, shape it. The good news is that change can start right here, with each of us. I’m going to take you along on a journey I’ve been on over the last couple of years that completely changed how I think about giving, investing, and spending. Fair warning: this is probably the most personal episode I’ve ever done.  Find a full transcript and show notes HERE.
