The Mindful Marketplace with Joel Skene
The Mindful Marketplace is where we share the stories of entrepreneurs, investors, economists, and business leaders who are not only making a profit, but who are creating more equitable, sustainable, and democratic business practices and communities along the way. It's where we learn how to connect our money and our time to our values, our community, and ourselves.
