About The SRI360 Podcast

The SRI360 Podcast is focused exclusively on sustainable & responsible investing. In each episode, I interview a world-class investor who is an accomplished practitioner from different asset classes in lively, wide-ranging, long-format discussions that eschew the “sound bite” format that is all too common in today’s financial media universe. The world has enough of that, and I wanted to do something different to reverse the trend.

In my interviews, I try to cover everything from their early personal journeys—and what motivated and attracted them to commit their life energy to SRI—to insights on how they developed and executed their investment strategies, what challenges they face today and much more. The conversations usually last between one to two hours—and occasionally even longer. So, each episode is a chance to go way below the surface with these impressive people and gain additional insights and useful lessons from world-class investors.

Past guests include Jenn Pryce, Calvert Impact Capital; Alina Donets, LO Assets Managers; Matt Patsky, Trillium Investment Management; Jed Emerson, Tiedemann Advisors; and more.
