Changes at Superpowers for Good
Become a Member of the SuperCrowd!
Eleven years ago, I launched what I now call the Superpowers for Good show. It has always been a video-enabled show. Starting about 1,000 episodes ago (truly), we began distributing the show as a podcast. Just 50 episodes ago, we began distributing the show via television.
Since we moved the show to Substack in 2021, I’ve been sharing a Wednesday post with some of my thoughts about social impact. These include monthly posts about the Impact Cherub Club and occasional random posts, including one about my first ride in a self-driving car on the streets of San Francisco. This is such a post.
Last fall, we started sharing a list of new crowdfund offerings each week on Monday. Chandan Saha prepares the list for us. He looks at all the new campaigns listed with the SEC for impact in four categories: social impact, women founders, minority founders and LGBTQ founders. (The last of those is the shortest; some weeks, there are no new listings.)
Chandan also prepares a weekly digest that goes out on Saturdays. Chandan’s Monday and Saturday posts are the most popular, which suggests we were wise to create them. I’m grateful for the work he does and the value he adds to the community.
Since we started distributing content via Substack, we’ve adjusted the protocols for sharing it a few times. We’re making a few adjustments now and want to give you a little heads-up.
Impact Crowdfund Investing Aligns With Rotary's 4-Way Test and 7 Areas of Focus
About a dozen years ago, I joined the Salt Lake Rotary Club and became a Rotarian. I joined precisely because Rotary aligns so well with my work and vision for a better world. Other organizations like Lions and Kiwanis have similar social missions and impact.
Today, I want to highlight the alignment between the work that Rotary International does through its 46,000 clubs and 1.4 million members around the world and the impact crowdfunding community we support through the SuperCrowd.
Service Above Self
Rotary is famous for its motto, “Service Above Self.” I believe this guides my work. In the world of impact investors, there is a subset of folks who think of themselves as “impact first.” For us—and yes, I count myself in that group—impact is the top priority. Expressed another way, social impact above self.
That said, Rotary would not argue that you should bankrupt yourself by doing service. Similarly, I see the need to make money on investments even if and when—and in part because—impact is the top priority.
You Can Shop to Support Social Entrepreneurs
Here at Superpowers for Good, we love to talk about impact crowdfunding—the investments we make to support social entrepreneurs, diverse founders and community builders. Today, we’re going to highlight some of the companies that have successfully raised via crowdfunding and that are selling their products on Amazon—giving you another way to support impact!
