In this episode of Wise Up! I talk to Calvin Cooper, category creator and virtuous disruptor and all-around wise dude about taking the helm and creating opportunities for everyone to own a stake in their communities and their lives. He’s launched RENTERSHIP to do just that, and Fast Company featured this new groundbreaking idea in the real estate and homeownership space. We get into Aristotelian ethics, what our founding fathers wanted for us, and what it means to be connected to the land and community. Calvin has a lot to teach us about how to lead and do principle-driven work. We’re going to see more of Calvin in the future.
