We're sitting down with Impact and Activist Investor Eric Glass, who is also the founder of Clarion Call Capital, to uncover the path for businesses and individuals looking to find the engines for "good". Eric details his work from Wall Street to Main Street and amplifies the need for attention to specific communities when it comes to investing. He implores us to look inward and ask ourselves - how are we changing the dynamic and uplifting poor and historically disinvested communities?

In this inaugural episode, you'll meet Michael Messer - Business Coach for Social Entrepreneurs and Community Builders. When Michael was 27 years old, he was sent to a former prison camp in the Russian Far East. As an early practitioner of social impact investing, he met with a U.S./Russian joint venture to evaluate the positive economic impacts of an industrial project in Siberia. Michael saw how a single business focused on both economic and social measures of success can transcend job and wage creation to transform communities by shifting mindsets and empowering people.
