Moving from IRR to IMM: Investing Based on the Impact Multiple of Money | Michael Etzel, Bridgespan (#108)

My guest today is Michael Etzel – a partner at Bridgespan, and one of the key architects behind a shift that’s still unfolding: the effort to bring hard-nosed analytical discipline to a field once seen as closer to charity than capital. Michael came to this work from the social sector, back when “impact investing” wasn’t yet a defined field. At Bridgespan, he began advising philanthropists and foundations – and over time, that work expanded to include some of the world’s largest asset manager...

40% IRR & Social Justice: How Vox Built Brazil’s 1st Impact Fund Scaling Solutions for the Base of the Pyramid (#107)

My guest today is Daniel Izzo, co-founder and CEO of Vox Capital – Brazil’s first impact investing firm. When Vox launched in 2009, the term "impact investing" barely existed in Latin America. There was no roadmap, just a few people who believed business could do more than serve the top of the pyramid. Daniel teamed up with Kelly Michel, co-founder of Artemisia, an accelerator for social entrepreneurs. Kelly introduced him to Antonio Ermírio de Moraes Neto, a young investor from one of Brazil...

My guest today is Nick O’Donohoe CMG – former CEO of British International Investment, co-founder of Big Society Capital, and one of the early figures to frame impact investing as a financial discipline. Nick spent nearly three decades in global banking – first at Goldman Sachs, then at JPMorgan, where he rose to become Global Head of Research.

The Terrifying Math of Stranded Assets: Why Oil & Gas Valuations May Be Off by $100+ Trillion | Mark Campanale (#105)

In this episode, I sit down with Mark Campanale, founder of Carbon Tracker and Planet Tracker, best known for introducing one of the most disruptive ideas in climate finance: the carbon bubble.

After years supporting fair-trade cooperatives in East Africa, he shifted to sustainable finance in London, co-launching the Jupiter Ecology Fund an...

Where Nature Meets Capital: 3 Leaders Turning Nature Into a Real Asset Class (#102)

Most investors now accept that climate risk is financial risk. But what about nature loss? What about the fact that half of global GDP is tied to the natural world – from soil health to pollination to forest carbon – and yet almost none of that value is priced into markets? If climate was the first wake-up call, nature is the second. In this 3-in-1 compilation, we revisit past episodes with investors at the forefront of this shift. Each one is building strategies to bring natural capita...

Renewables Alone Won’t Work: The 2 Missing Pieces in the Net Zero Energy Puzzle (#100)

We’ve spent decades talking about the shift to renewables – building more wind, more solar, more clean energy capacity. And that’s important. But it’s also only half the story. Because once that energy is generated, what happens next is where things start to get complicated – how it's stored, how it's moved, and how much of it actually gets used. Right now, the answer to that last question is… not much. In fact, the majority of global energy still gets lost before it ever reaches an end user....

The Collision of Healthcare & Tech: Where Innovation Meets Patient Impact & Market Returns (#099)

Healthcare is filled with breakthrough claims. But most of what gets funded doesn’t make it anywhere near a hospital ward, a low-income patient, or a parent juggling three jobs. The gap between what’s possible and what’s actually useful is real, and these two investors are trying to close it. This week, we revisit two conversations with fund managers who are focused on problems that actually matter: the rising cost of care, the complexity of getting it, and the systems that still leave too ma...

Tech for Good: 3 Innovators Building Tech for People, Planet, and Purpose (#098)

What do an AI-powered investment engine, a grassroots organizing platform, and a nature-tech-focused VC have in common? They’re all built on the conviction that technology should be in service of real-world problems – not just market efficiency or shareholder return. And increasingly, investors are stepping up not only to fund that kind of innovation, but to actively shape it. In this 3-in-1 compilation, we revisit past episodes with investors who are doing exactly that: using capital to stee...

Mark’s journey into finance started early — running a lemonade stand to save up for a Sega Genesis and learning about markets through a third-grade stock project that didn’t go as planned.
