Transformative Financial Journeys Merging Empathy with Economics - Part 1

The Mindful Marketplace with Joel Skene

Experience the fusion of personal values and financial acumen as we traverse the landscape of impactful investing with Diana Yanez, an esteemed financial empowerment coach. Our discourse sails through the implications of aligning our investments with ethics, emphasizing how such strategic decisions foster community growth and personal prosperity. We celebrate the triumph of Mountain BizWorks, as their significant grant acquisition marks a milestone in uplifting underserved entrepreneurs. Yet, the dialogue also navigates the murky waters of ethical dilemmas, questioning the integrity of lawmakers' investments in defense stocks during military conflicts. Meanwhile, we dissect the administration's attempts to alleviate the burden of student loan debt and highlight Michael Schumann's transformative workshops that champion local investing over the allure of Wall Street.
Embarking on a personal narrative, I share the transformative journey from a financial career to a calling in social services, revealing how encounters with diverse clients reshaped my understanding of the intricate dance between money and human empathy. This episode peels back the layers of the undervalued, yet essential roles traditionally occupied by women and minorities, particularly in caregiving and domestic work. We probe into the historical context of value and agency, contrasting market-driven labor with the heartbeat of the core economy. Join us as we blend a fascination with numbers and a deep-seated empathy in a unique approach to financial planning—a convergence where money not only grows but also heals and unifies.
