Up Close with Chris Tinney

Chris Tinney

The United States operates a poverty management system—a fragmented network of aid and services where no one is responsible for actually lifting people out of poverty. But what if we could replace this outdated model with a poverty alleviation system that helps people achieve lasting economic mobility?Creating a Poverty-Alleviation System requires a holistic approach that brings together economic development, business leaders, and service providers to align resources and create real pathways out of poverty. To break the cycle of poverty once and for all, we need systems-level change, not just isolated programs.Every week, Poverty Ends Here brings together thought leaders, policymakers, and advocates to explore innovative strategies that go beyond managing poverty—to eradicating it. As automation and artificial intelligence continue to disrupt labor markets, Universal Basic Income (UBI) may become inevitable. With robots and AI rapidly becoming more efficient than humans in many industries, we must rethink economic policies to ensure everyone has access to financial stability and opportunity.Your host, Chris Tinney, is a seasoned broadcaster and social impact leader with over two decades of experience tackling the systemic barriers that keep people in poverty. With a unique, informative, and conversational approach, Chris delves into proven programs, cutting-edge research, and success stories from communities leading the way in economic transformation.
