2. Morgan Simon - What does Real Impact investing look and feel like?

Morgan Simon, Funding Partner of Candide Group offers a beautiful look at what her 20 years as an impact investor has been like and what she's learned. She summarizes the key principles from her book "Real Impact: The New Economics of Social Change" -- and which she's gleaned from her time starting as student activist at Dartmouth, to her stewardship of Candide, which done more than 100 deals and deployed more than $170 million in transformative impact investments. 

Most powerful for me was the last few minutes where she describes the power she feels when working with faith investors -- ones that really bring their love for humanity to the work. She tells a story about how we need to lead with our authentic selves -- and paints a picture of how some investors offering to be subordinate to others, can create catalytic opportunities.
