#57: Investable Hope: A Conversation with Susie Pan on Financing the Future
In this episode, Joy and the Vice President of the Criterion Institute, Susie Pan, explore the concept of 'investable hope' - a compelling idea that combines finance with the notion of hope for a better future. They discuss the importance of hope in times of crisis, the shift from individual to collective hope, and how investments can be a pathway to creating a more equitable society.
And finally, Joy discusses Criterion's practice of prioritising relationships with people who are responsible for their own hope.
