Responsibility with Kevin Doyle Jones
I spoke with Kevin Doyle Jones about responsibility as part of #holochats on #responsibility last week. (To see how to make your own #holochats, scroll to the bottom.)
About Kevin Doyle Jones
A few snippets about Kevin:
- 8 businesses, 7 of which became dominant in their market niche under his leadership by the the time of sale.
- 14 years in the social capital market. Engaged with an impact investment fund at Goodcap.net, investing directly in companies through GoodCap’s holding company and convening the social capital market at socialcapitalmarkets.net.
- Founder of the Impact Hub Bay Area, and co-owns many more.
But perhaps most people know Kevin, I think, as a co-founder of SoCap — the annual event for social entrepreneurs and investors that significantly built that field.
We grabbed some of the juicy lines from Kevin to tempt you:
~ 2:20m Responsibility only really makes sense intergenerationally
~ 16:15m Indigenous wealth creation is the key to valuable reforestation.
~ 17:13m Holistic lens: We create conferences/intersections where valuable strangers find each other and become unlikely allies!
~ 21:28m Seduction by the amygdala is better than battling the brain. :-)
Some Questions about Responsibility
I asked questions of Kevin, such as the following:
- When I mentioned it to you in setting up this conversation you talked about your grandson. Can you say more about that here? To whom do you think we are responsible?
- What is at the root of your interest in social responsibility efforts like social entrepreneurship?
- For business, how do you negotiate between responsibilities to different parties?
- What about to our context and future, or past?
- What are you currently working on? Can you say more about that?
- #collective intelligence is another field where you devoted a lot of attention even if it wasn’t a financial win. Why does it interest you?
