In my work as an executive coach, I see how often we hear ideas that interest us but we stop, thinking “that would be too hard” or “it’s not for people like me.” Angel investing is one of those ideas for me, but I’ve found that today’s “angels” aren’t all Silicon Valley bros. In fact, they may be right next door.
Recently, I had the chance to chat with angel investor and podcaster Marcia Dawood, host of the podcast “The Angel Next Door” and whose latest book, “Doing Good While Doing Well” breaks down the world of angel investing and makes it more accessible, particularly for those who may not have considered it before. As Marcia says, there are many ways to do good while doing well.
You work hard for your money, so it’s worth it to stop and think every so often about what you’re doing with it–and how it makes a difference. Marcia has ideas that go beyond charitable donations that are well worth considering–and some may surprise you.
