Making a Difference Through Angel Investing with Marcia Dawood, Angel Investor and Author

I am joined this week by the incredible Marcia Dawood, an accomplished angel investor who's changing the way we think about capital and investing. Marcia is a powerful voice for inclusive, values-driven investing and she is here today to support us in understanding and applying the value of investing to build capital. In this enlightening conversation, Marcia shares how her father taught her budgeting at age nine, setting the foundation for her financial philosophy of "always live below your means." We explore her journey from retail buying to a 17-year career at Kaplan, discussing the champions who believed in her and how she navigated corporate America as a woman. Marcia reveals her path to angel investing, how she created targeted "money buckets" for different investments, and the unique perspective she gained experiencing angel ecosystems across multiple U.S. cities.
