On the Access and Opportunity podcast, host Carla Harris, a Vice Chairman at Morgan Stanley, asks the question: How can we connect capital with communities that traditionally have been left behind? One way is by talking to the people who are already doing it. Entrepreneurs, investors, developers and activists join Carla, who taps into her 30 years of experience on Wall Street, to explore why investors are unaware of the above-market returns that exist in investing in multicultural- and women-owned businesses, and how to dispel these misconceptions and exploit this market inefficiency. Together, they show what's possible through the people who are making it possible.

Important Topics

Not only is Access & Opportunity covering the need to close the wealth gap in the United States, it features real people who are affected by the problems (and working towards solutions) in a compelling way. It also breaks down complex topics like block chain and student debt so that it’s easy for all listeners to understand. I’m left wanting to reach out and support the guests, and also to dig in and learn even more about barriers to wealth access.
