The Caring Economy with Toby Usnik

Welcome to the Caring Economy Podcast, where we delve into the stories of individuals who are changing the world through innovative solutions. In this episode, we have the privilege of hosting Andy Posner, the visionary founder of Capital Good Fund, a game-changing organization that's transforming the way we approach poverty alleviation.

Andy Posner's journey to social impact began during his time pursuing a Master of Arts in Environmental Studies at Brown University. His academic pursuits, centered on financing mechanisms for clean energy, took an unexpected turn when he discovered the groundbreaking work of Dr. Muhammad Yunus, the 'Father of Microfinance.' Inspired by Dr. Yunus' vision and motivated by the financial crisis of 2008, Andy founded Capital Good Fund in 2009, with a mission to tackle poverty head-on.
