This is wonderful. Practical, touching, and really bridges the gap to speak the language of investors.

We'll reconnect soon, things are developing around the cohort we discussed!

Reminds me of Schmachtenberger and Hagens talking about wisdom & widening the aperture to include more measures of success.

In the series I’d be curious to hear your perspective on multi-polar traps — in this case, that investors who narrowly prioritize capital compounding will win out over ones holding this broader lens (forcing those who want to play this game to become more narrow minded).

This is a very good essay, and the philosophy you describe has a lot in common with what I do.

I'm looking forward to reading the next part. Implementing concepts like this is very difficult, because love is highly particular, and the financial system is built on multiple layers of abstraction. I've focused on attacking this problem by decentralizing financial and investment decision-making, so the investment or credit decision can accompany a real relationship and be embedded in community (this is why we call our vertical "community-engaged investing") but would love to hear about other strategies.
