What this world needs are more business owners, executives & shareholders who are willing to take less so that all other stakeholders can participate more equitably. During each episode of The Righteous Capitalists you will meet business owners who are doing just that. You'll learn why and how they run their businesses the way they do, how they differ from the rest of their industry, what they can be doing better, and the larger social and economic issues that affect everyone and everything within their businesses' ecosystems.

oneKIN & the soon-to-be launched Twiine have BIPOC founders, which everyone says they want to fund.

In this episode, Marvin Francois, co-founder of oneKIN & Twiine, shares stories from his adventures trying to get this venture off the ground. He pulls back the curtain on what it is like for BIPOC founders to raise capital in an atmosphere that saw only 3% of all VC funds ($147B) go to Black founders in 2020.…

Would you use a search engine called BackRub? That was Google's original name. Had they gone to Brad Flowers, a naming expert & author of The Naming Book, or just followed the 5 steps from Brad's book, which he details in this episode, they would have come up with something much better & with more longevity than BackRub.

It Just Makes Sense - Marietta Barral Zacker - Gallt & Zacker Literary Agency 57:08

57:08

Our earliest thoughts and aspirations are shaped by what we see and read in books, but the publishing industry has been a constricting force by hiring homogenous authors telling homogenized stories. Marietta Zacker, of the Gallt & Zacker Literary Agency, talks about the effects of the historical exclusion of authors, illustrators and stories from marginalized communities, why this has happened, and how her and her colleagues are getting diverse and compelling stories into the hands of children & young adults.…

Enter Marvin Francois, co-founder of oneKIN and the soon-to-be launched live stream social commerce platform Twiine. Marvin and his partners are on a mission to provide POC-owned businesses with a robust platform through which they tell their stories, interact with customers and sell their products.…

It's Not the Pipeline, It's the Culture - Troy Prince - Wall Street Bound & Prometheus Capital Management 50:50

50:50

Wall St is detrimentally too white and male. Women & minorities, who achieve 60% better returns than their white male counterparts, manage a mere 1.3% of the $69 trillion in financial portfolios (Bloomberg). While Wall St says the lack of diversity is a pipeline problem, Troy Prince, founder of Wall Street Bound and Prometheus Capital Management, knows that it most definitely is not. Plain and simple, the problem is social capital...some have it, some don't, and he is doing everything he can to change that.…

Fair wages and benefits, like paid time off (PTO), are not the first things most people think of when they think of McDonald's.

What you think of as leadership is really authority, and authority is crucial in a time of crisis.

Leaders will find ways to use this moment to create real change that makes us better off in the long run.
