- Business
Most sane people have given up hope that the finance industry can be a catalyst for positive change, but not Sloane Ortel and Ashby Monk. Since Free Money launched in 2019, they have helped listeners understand the true power (and immense potential) of long-term investing through accessible, authoritative, and deeply irreverent conversations with others pushing for progress. In the process, they’ve helped literally dozens of listeners understand root causes of the industry’s misalignment with the modern world and radicalized them into pushing for positive change.

The Carbon Market Coterie feat. Mark Campanale of the Carbon Tracker Initiative
This carbon special featuring Mark Campanale is one you don't want to miss - we discuss peak oil, Mark's vision for the carbon market, and whether it's reasonable to rely on the carbon market as the catalyst for change. Definitely one for the books.
We also answer some exciting questions from our lovely listeners, offer gardening tips galore, and share developments both fun and fund-related! -
What the Bedroom Can Teach the Boardroom feat. Bahar Baharloo, Intimacy Coordinator
What an exciting show for our LAST episode of the year! We were joined by Bahar Baharloo, who was Sloane's roommate during her time in the McKibbin lofts of Brooklyn.
Their experience as an intimacy coordinator gives us some amazing insight into consent and how it applies to the governance and approval we encounter in investment decision making.
Ashby's head explodes multiple times, and we're quite confident yours will too.
Happy New Year from the Free Money Fam! -
Innovation is the Combination of Ideas feat. Tom Brakke of the Investment Ecosystem
Hop in folks, this train is headed to Brakkestan! We were fortunate enough to meet up with Tom Brakke, one of the keepers of the flame in active independent investment management. We talk about what innovation really is, due diligence in the manager selection process, and more.
Ashby's whereabouts on January 6th are also discussed, and if you'd like the answer to that burning question, you'll just have to tune in!
Thanks for joining us - we genuinely appreciate each and every one of you. -
Raising Capital Inclusively with Megan Kashner and Bill Burckart of Colorful Capital
Today we're joined by Bill Burckart and Megan Kashner of Colorful Capital, both of whom are professors of impact investing (Columbia and Northwestern) as well as co-founders of the venture firm focused on the LGBT community.
We hear from them on why the firm is necessary, how they've gone about trying to access the people they're trying to reach, and then discuss the role they see for Colorful Capital going forward. For a deeper exploration of the topics we discussed and links to various resources mentioned, check out our blog post on this episode.
Don't forget our typical helping of banter - this episode's topics feature new sovereign wealth funds, guns, and a roast of burning man. Ya know, the usual. -
Innovation Backed by Violence featuring Caitlin Rosenthal
This one's nearly a year old - but still filled with the usual gold.
It honestly didn't come as a shock to us that modern American accounting practices are deeply rooted in slavery (nothing shocks us anymore). But in order to further wrap our heads around this insane concept, we spent some time chatting with Caitlin Rosenthal, historian of business and slavery.
