In this energizing and eye-opening episode of On The Fly!, Donna Zaring is joined by two powerhouse leaders in the world of impact investing: Marcia Dawood, Vice Chair of the SEC’s Small Business Capital Formation Advisory Committee and author of Do Good While Doing Well, and Sue Bevan Baggott, executive advisor, innovation catalyst, and contributor to You Can, You Will.

Together, they break down what angel investing really means and why putting your dollars (and time!) into purpose-driven startups is one of the most meaningful ways to drive change.

From their work on the award-winning documentary Show Her the Money to supporting women founders and redefining who gets funded and why, Marcia and Sue are reshaping the investing landscape and proving that profit and purpose don’t have to be opposites, they can be partners.
