  • Results, Ch-Ch-Changes, and Message of Gratitude from Karen Rands
    The Compassionate Capitalist Show will be getting a new podcast broadcast home and that has and will cause disruption in the deliverly of the weekly show. This move is coupled with the roll out of new educational and services offerings and a new look for the Kugarand Capital Holdings and Karen Rands' website.
    Recent recap report provided by Spotify, clearly shows there is momentum for The Compassionate Capitalist Show.  However there is a disconnect between the growth in listeners and their ability to engage Karen and her team to help them navigate the capital markets, evaluate the odds of success in the strategy, and improve the outcome of the company and the return on investment.  We are trying to solve that with these moves.   We ask for your patience because time and experience has shown that nothing is as easy and straight forward as it appears on paper and in the minds of those tasked with the outcome.
    As we look back on 2022, it is with great pride that we recognize the Compassionate Capitalist show:
    has gained popularity to be ranked in the top 10% world widethe 1800+ minutes of content shared in 2022 is more than 96% of other business showsthe shows that shared insights about crowd funding and direct public offerings were over 250% more popular than other programminglisteners primarily reside in the US, but also have a strong base world wide in the UK, Phillipines, and Indiathe show had a 71% gain in listeners and 27% increase in followers
