WS1933 Impact Investing | Eric Most

In today's episode of the Real Estate Syndication Show, we had the pleasure of continuing our conversation with Eric Most, an expert in stewardship and impact investing. We delved deep into the concept of impact investing and how it can be utilized not only with private capital but also with charitable funds to create a significant positive impact.Eric shared with us the essence of impact investing, which is about making a difference through our investments. He emphasized that more investors are now looking for opportunities to see their money doing good in the world. Eric explained how charitable capital can be used to invest in organizations, funds, or private deals without personal gain, providing a unique way to contribute to meaningful causes.We heard a compelling story about a giver from Grand Junction, Colorado, who used his charitable capital to transform an old motorcycle dealership into a thriving event center and Christian dance studio. This investment not only served the community but also created a cash flow that could be reinvested or donated tax-free.Eric also highlighted other ways people can engage in impact investing, such as pooled investment funds, direct investments in social enterprises, and even equity stakes in for-profit ventures with a social angle, like the crowdfunded show "The Chosen."One particularly touching example was the introduction of tunnel farms at orphanages by Rod Brenneman, former CEO of Butterball. These farms not only provide food and jobs but also help keep families together by addressing financial struggles that often lead to children being orphaned.It's clear from our discussion that impact investing offers a creative and strategic way to make a difference while still considering financial returns. It's not just about giving money away; it's about making investments that continue to grow and benefit various aspects of society.Thank you for tuning in After interviewing thousands of entrepreneurs, one truth is clear: business success means little if it costs your marriage, family, or faith.I'm now hosting the Courageous Men podcast for men who want to lead well at home and at work. I'm looking for five men to walk closely with who want to lead well at home and work.  Email me at [email protected] and tell me why you should be one of the five. whitneysewell.com  VISIT OUR WEBSITEhttps://lifebridgecapital.com/Here are ways you can work with us here at Life Bridge Capital:⚡️START INVESTING TODAY: If you think that real estate syndication may be right for you, contact us today to learn more about our current investment opportunities: https://lifebridgecapital.com/investwithlbc⚡️Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheRealEstateSyndicationShow📝 JOIN THE DISCUSSIONhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/realestatesyndication➡️ FOLLOW UShttps://twitter.com/whitney_sewell https://www.instagram.com/whitneysewell/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/whitney-sewell/ ⭐ Be Our Guest!We are continuously working hard to help our listeners with their journey to real estate syndication.
