015 Mobilising your Money for Good - a podcast by Lyn Man

Are you giving your money purpose?  In this episode I am speaking with Louise Wilson, co-founder and Managing Director of Abundance Investment.  During the conversation we look at:

·       What inspired Louise to create an alternative solution to traditional investment.

·       How the system of finance supports and protects itself rather what is important to society as a whole, and we need to make fundamental changes to how it works.

·       What Abundance does to democratise finance; through the ease of access to investing, transparency and making it simple.

·       The impact of democratic investing on the investors.

·       How investing ethically can support projects which move us closer to the green economy; whether run by local authorities or businesses, and the potential of this economy.

·       How early thoughts about waste and experiences with money have led Louise to where she is now.
