The article in the Wall Street Journal screamed it out: Baby Boomer Women Are Now Deciding the Fate of Trillions of Dollars. Yup, after working hard for many years, maybe that's YOU or your mom or grandmom (yes, we welcome all the gens here). But what if we could do more good with that hard-earned money, in ways we care about, while still doing well for our families and communities? This is the question my friend Marcia Dawood asks. Marcia's a TedX speaker, the host of the podcast The Angel Next Door, and the author of Do Good While Doing Well: Invest for Change, Reap Financial Rewards and Increase Your Happiness. Who wouldn't want more of all that?? 🙌🏽 Marcia's on a mission to educate people at all levels (and especially women) that they have more power than they might think to invest in positive change. Typically, this power has only been available through donation and volunteering (things I do myself and heartily support). But with the evolution of new rules and accessible online tools, many more of us can now invest time and talent in companies who are creating things that will change the world. Watch our conversation (or read the transcript) on my blog here. How about you, Reader? Whether you're in a position to angel invest or not, how do you do good for someone else while doing well for yourself? Hit REPLY and tell me--I always love hearing from you. After meeting Marcia, I now see how doing good while doing well is within reach for more of us than ever. You don't have to be a billionaire, you don't have to be super brilliant, and you don't have to be a Silicon Valley bro. 😎 How refreshing to be able to just be us, and make a different kind of impact with our own red capes! Thanks for being here!
