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.    Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Tina Berger and her book 'Invest Like a Mother' 00:01 Introduction to Values-Based Investing 00:28 The purpose of the book: initiating a conversation about holistic investing 00:54 Redefining what it means to invest and the impact of cultural paradigms 00:56 The importance of awareness and consciousness in investment choices 00:57 Examples of holistic investments in everyday life 01:01 The systemic pressures on corporations to prioritize profits over societal good 01:04 The environmental and social impacts of traditional investment systems 01:23 The role of personal values and inner energy in investment decisions 01:24 Case studies: corporate pressure and its effects on leadership and programs 01:44 The importance of transparency and awareness in investment impacts 01:45 The potential for creating positive change through conscious investing 01:58 Practical steps for becoming a more impact-oriented investor 02:35 The Philosophy of Long-Term Impact Investing 05:05 Role of Credit Unions and Community Development Financial Institutions 08:08 Land Trusts and Land Preservation Strategies 12:02 Innovative Community Investment Models in Action 15:45 Balancing Financial Returns with Social and Environmental Impact 19:49 Case Study: Gentrification and Land Preservation in Houston 25:36 The Power of Collective Investment and Co-ops 30:11 How Personal Values Shape Investment Choices 35:12 The Future of Responsible and Impact Investing   Follow me for more royalty free music: https://timkulig.com/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063945225723 https://www.patreon.com/timkulig https://www.instagram.com/timkuligfreemusic/ Tim Kulig \ timkulig.com
