EP111: "Tina Berger: Invest Like a Mother"

I absolutely LOVE serendipitous meetings...

Tina and I met because she graciously contributed to my royalty-free music-writing cause, and in doing so exposed me to her book titled "How to Invest Like a Mother".  

I was intrigued.  We got on a Zoom.  We set up a time to do a podcast.

The rest is what you see here!

For further context, Tina Berger discusses her holistic investment framework, emphasizing conscious investing that aligns with personal values and societal impact. Together, we explore how traditional investment paradigms can be expanded to include social and environmental considerations, and how individual choices can create meaningful change.
