Mark is one of the first guests on the podcast with a pronounced focus within the impact sector specifically, and he brings some much needed insight into the different areas of thematic growth focus for those seeking a career in this sector, how the US political backlash has allowed for true impact investors to thrive and what we can expect from the US election outcome in November.
