Putting Human Dignity at the Heart of Business: Jacqueline Novogratz and ‘Patient Capital’ (Part One)

As a wide-eyed young banker-turned-philanthropist, Jacqueline Novogratz learned that good intentions can sometimes get you poisoned. She’s documented this and other hard-won lessons in her best-selling book The Blue Sweater: Bridging the Gap Between Rich and Poor in an Interconnected World. She’s also put those lessons into action as the founder and CEO of Acumen—a non-profit venture capital fund that seeks to alleviate global poverty through entrepreneurial approaches. In this episode of What’s Ahead, Jacqueline talks to Steve about her thrilling, heart-wrenching, and vitally important work.
