In celebration of Black History Month, we brought back Karen's popular 2 part podcast series on Black Economic Prosperity - Past Present and Future. Catch new intro and update too.  The wealth gap between white and black communities because of systemic racism and the resulting obstacle for building equity and wealth  is astounding.  This is part 2 of Karen Rands' series on Black Economic Empowerment and Prosperity.  

This episode addresses the 10X prosperity gap, as reported by the Brookings Institute (AVG Black Household net worth is just $17,150 in 2016, while the average white household is $171,000) and suggests causes for that vast divide that compounded over time and builds upon the research and insights provided in Episode 1.

Here, Karen discusses the cycles of prosperity for Blacks in a segregated America, often followed by violence and out right biased legislative and financial practices intended to help enrich White while prohibiting Blacks from participating in those same economic and educational opportunities.

Karen touches on the challenges with public education, higher education, and societal beliefs that infect the black identity in America and the historic lack of capital and offers insight into new opportunities for Black Americans.

Karen provides a strong call to action for successful black business owners, and 'white' corporations, investors, VCs and Family Offices to be proactive in efforts to engage and uplift minority entrepreneurs and black business owners. 

The many links referenced in the podcast can be found in the blog post for this segment at were at this page but a website migration broke it:   https://www.karenrands.co/compassionate-capitalist-the-black-lives-prosperity-past-present-future-pt2/  We are working to rebuild it. 

The live video of this podcast is to see Karen's passion on this topic in action: https://youtu.be/52Ta1wH_Ch8

Karen believes that teaching about wealth creation as an investor in entrepreneurs is a profound way to bridge the wealth gap for the next generation.

True equality comes with economic prosperity. This is a replay of Karen's historic, informative, and popular look at The Black Lives Economic Story - Past Present & Future PT 1. 

The Compassionate Capitalist Podcast will explore the history of black enterprise, and government policies intended to aid in economic prosperity, and the racist practices that created barriers and obstacles to African American prosperity so that wealth and education gap which exists today has its roots dating back to the late 1800.  History shows time and time again how naive, well intentioned white people, in the spirit of compromise, released authority and control to other white people that had a sole intent to harm and hinder black people from achieving equality - socially and economically. There are many examples of progress being made and initiatives seeking to grow black entrepreneurship, wealth creation, and reinvestment into the communities that have been neglected and abandoned.   As we look forward with these new sources of funding and entrepreneur development, we must also look back to see how to fix the fissure that over a 100 years of systemic racism has caused in our communities.  If you are opposed to giving hand outs, then give a hand up.  Work to get the loopholes that enable racists to harm and prevent the success and empowerment of people of color out of our financial, judicial, and legislative systems.

How would you answer the question:  
What would you do if you were given $100M no questions asked ?  
How would you benefit the world with that gift that would compound the impact?
That is what Karen was asked at a recent entrepreneur/investor event she attended. 
Well not exactly.  Not the part about benefiting the world or compounding the impact. 
That is just how she thinks.   
As the founder of the Compassionate Capitalist Movement, it is on her heart to leave a legacy, her 'thumbprint' on the world, that amplifies wealth creation through increasing the available capital actively seeking qualified entrepreneur endeavors to invest in and produce a multiple on that money so that it can be reinvested again and again and again. 

In this episode, Karen talks about the Compassionate Capitalist Movement, and the actions she would take, the programs she would create, and types of projects she would lead investment in if she was blessed with such a financial gift (or investment, or sponsorship) whether $100M, $10M, $1M or even $100K. 

An investment in her vision for the Compassionate Capitalist Show as the megaphone for the Compassionate Capitalist Movement would accelerate the delivery of education, workshops, deal syndication, and wealth for the entrepreneurs and investors that join.

On the topic of employee shortage....and "the Great Resignation".  It isn't new for employees to get fed up with their bosses, work environment, or compensation and decide to leave the workplace in pursuit of a better employment opportunity or financial independence as an entrepreneur. What is different right now is that the rate at which this is happening has increased significantly, at the same time that the US is experiencing it's greatest growth in new jobs, and there isn't a back fill of employees into those vacancies, either because they don't exist due to the declining population or they have exited the workforce unable to return because of mitigating factors caused by the ongoing pandemic.

This is a two part video/podcast.

The first part is Karen Rands displaying her economic chops by discussing the factors contributing to this disconnect between employers and employees and the historic trends that have set the stage for where we are now as a nation.

The second part is a replay of Karen's interview with Sara Dahmen, a trail blazing Award Winning Coppersmith, Author and Entrepreneur.  Although not part of "The Great Resignation" phenomena, the message is still relevant. Karen & Sara talk about the challenges women face in pursuit of success in the corporate and entrepreneur worlds.  And what happens when an entrepreneur finds passion, perseverence, confidence, and success.

On this episode of The Compassionate Capitalist Show, Nathan Beckord, Founder and CEO of Founder Suite, and Karen Rands will talk about what steps a founder needs to take to increase the odds of seed round and subsequent  funding rounds successful.

The steps to complete a successful capital raise are predictable, yet most entrepreneurs make the same common mistakes.  Even with all the free resources available through economic development organizations, incubators and accellerators, and an abundance of entrepreneur programs in colleges and universities, Nathan estimates that 98% of the startup founders have no idea about how to raise capital.  And as Karen has often stated, there is a science to the art of raising capital.

With over a decade of experience working with 150 startups as Interim CFO, business development, and many advisory roles, and deep experience with financial equity markets, Nathan Beckord started his own startup FounderSuite.com to provide software tools and formulized guidance to entrepreneurs seeking to raise seed stage and growth stage capital. With access to the investing preferences of over 200,000 investors, nearly a 1/4 of the entrepreneurs using the research and relationship tools on this SaaS platform have successfully raised nearly $3 Billion in capital in just 5 years since inception.https://foundersuite.com/
