This week, host David Ponraj talks to Nathan Ohle, an internationally recognized expert in economic development and the president and CEO of the International Economic Development Council (IEDC), a non-partisan organization with more than 5,000 members globally. Nathan explains why equity is the core for every local community "regardless of size, shape or geography" to drive economic opportunity in the future. Nathan shares his perspective on investing in wealth creation and discusses how communities can work to align philanthropy, federal resources, and local partners to find the capacity and practical solutions to participate actively in equitable development. He explains why small business must be part of a proactive long-term strategy.
