Podcast: Aligning Profit Motives and Community Needs
“How can we rebalance the financial system so that we can have a positive relationship between the health of communities and the financial markets?”
Chuck Marohn interviews Catherine Fitts, Strong Towns member and founder of the Solari Report. Catherine served as managing director and member of the board of directors of the Wall Street investment bank Dillon, Read & Co. Inc., as Assistant Secretary of Housing and Federal Housing Commissioner at the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development in the first Bush Administration, and was the president of Hamilton Securities Group, Inc.
In this conversation, Catherine discusses her past leadership roles and how that has influenced her outlook on building investment and wealth—not just for individuals—but for communities as a whole.
Chuck Marohn was also featured on the Solari Report earlier this year, which you can check out here.
