At a time when fewer people are able to sit down with a book, it’s important to remember the joy and power that can come from reading. And some books don’t just tell a story – they change the way we see the world. That’s why I’m excited to share my latest podcast from @Audible_com and @HGMedia, A Great Book with Barack Obama.

A Showcase of Ideas for a More Locally Owned Economy” What would it take to create an economy where more people can own assets, build wealth, and share in the value they help create—where capital remains rooted in place, and communities have greater influence over their economic future?
