All things #ImpactInvesting

Together with ImpactAlpha’s “The Brief” (Daily Newsletter) this is the best way to stay up to date and “in the know” of what’s happening in the world of Impact Investing. The show usually entertains contrasting ways, relevant topics, and the occasional subject matter expert. In my mind, a must for any practitioner, wannabe practitioner, or anyone for that matter (in the end we are all Impact Investors whether we want to or not).
