Community Support as a Catalyst for Personal Change - Part 2

The Mindful Marketplace with Joel Skene

What if investing in your community could transform not just neighborhoods, but lives? Join us as David shares his extraordinary journey from addiction to entrepreneurship, illustrating how community support can lead to personal and collective empowerment. Through candid conversations, David reveals how his real estate business became a beacon of hope, creating meaningful employment for those in recovery and fostering a culture of giving back. This episode captures the essence of how community investment can catalyze personal redemption and collective well-being.
Together, we explore the complexities of transitioning a property preservation business into a social enterprise aimed at revitalizing marginalized neighborhoods. Inspired by works like "The Color of Law," "Race for Profit," and "Evicted," we dissect the systemic inequities these communities face. We also address the detrimental effects of property flipping and private equity, contrasting these with the benefits of shared ownership models. Discover how our cooperative approach not only stabilizes communities but also enhances worker productivity and economic empowerment, proving that sustainable, regenerative investment is not just possible, but essential.
