Lisa Kleissner: Reverse-Engineering Economic Resilience

Next Economy Now: For the Benefit of All Life

Social impact trailblazer Lisa Kleissner co-founded KL Felicitas Foundation, Toniic, and Hawaii Investment Ready, all key players in the movement to bring down the barriers to impact investing. Lisa also brings her two decades of experience in impact investing and philanthropy to her work as a board member at Aqua-Spark and Real Good Fish. During this episode, she shares her story.

Tuning in, you will learn about her holistic approach to her work and her commitment to end siloing in the impact investment space. We touch on allocating appropriate returns and why the answer is often none at all. Lisa shares her thoughts on the role of government and the private sector in helping to move the needle and finding the middle point between what people think they want and what is truly necessary.
