I Want Her Job The Podcast: Meet Margot Kane

ABOUT MARGOT:

Margot Kane, vice president of strategy at the Calvert Foundation, joins I Want Her Job to discuss impact investing. This type of investment allows you to invest money, while also improving communities around the world. We also ask Margot about her projections for growth in the industry, examples of impact investments and the potential within impact investing to transform some of the world’s biggest social issues. You may be surprised to learn that if you have a tax ID — and only $20 — you, too, can become an impact investor today!
