Episode Synopsis

In this episode of the Future of Finance podcast, Georges Dyer speaks with Cory Donovan, Co-Founder and Senior VP for Community Engagement, and Kafi Lindsay, CEO of ImpactPHL. Together, they explore how place-based impact investing is transforming Philadelphia into a national model for inclusive, regenerative economic development. Cory and Kafi share how ImpactPHL builds awareness, educates investors, and fosters a powerful local ecosystem that aligns capital with community values. From shifting the financial sector toward "one-pocket thinking" to challenging outdated notions of fiduciary duty, this conversation highlights both systemic failures and bold innovations. They unpack how aligning capital with community priorities can address deep-rooted racial and economic inequities—while creating a more sustainable financial system for the future.
