About Community Capital Live
Kevin Jones of Neighborhood Economics, Stephanie Swepson Twitty and Jazmin Rogers of Eagle Market Streets, and Michael Shuman of The Main Street Journal will host a twice-monthly interview series with community investment fund leaders nationwide. They will help decode the DNA of different designs, enabling you and your community to replicate them.
Joel Skene runs the show, whose Mindful Marketplace introduces local investment concepts to thousands of listeners. Co-sponsors include The Main Street Journal, Neighborhood Economics, American Independent Business Alliance, and ImpactAlpha. Data from each show will ultimately feed a public wiki to help you build support for your own community’s fund.
