EP 179: Ethical Investing with Megan Schleck

This week, Jean sits down with Megan Schleck, co-founder and CEO of COIN, a conscious investing platform that allows us to put our money into companies making an impact in the areas we care most about.

Megan shares with us the genesis of COIN, her thoughts on “buycott” culture, and how to make a positive societal impact through ethical investing.

Listen in as Megan and Jean discuss creating an avenue for everyday investors to have a place where their voice can be heard (for as little as $50!), the dramatic rise of companies that are following suit, mission-based investing as we enter the 2020 elections, and Megan’s background as a wilderness guide.

Then, in Mailbag, Jean and Kathryn talk about how age is more than just a number, encouraging women in the C-suite, and the Fidelity Women’s Leadership Fund. Then Jean tackles listener questions about when to sell an apartment that’s losing value, the best ways to start investing while in college, and how to spend an inheritance. Lastly, in Thrive, Jean talks about the large net worth gap between Baby Boomers and Millennials, and ways the younger generation can close it once and for all.
