Most sane people have given up hope that the finance industry can be a catalyst for positive change, but not Sloane Ortel and Ashby Monk. Since Free Money launched in 2019, they have helped listeners understand the true power (and immense potential) of long-term investing through accessible, authoritative, and deeply irreverent conversations with others pushing for progress. In the process, they’ve helped literally dozens of listeners understand root causes of the industry’s misalignment with the modern world and radicalized them into pushing for positive change.

Jed Wheeler discusses the development of new crops from high potential native food crops that are adapted to current and future climates and highlights the importance of biodiversity and native plants in supporting native pollinators and the ecosystem.
Jed also explains the two parts of his solution: targeted domestication of new crops using gene-informed rapid breeding and the development of new agronomic systems for crops that don't require breeding, such as acorns. He emphasizes the challenges of finding mission-aligned investors.

Divestment Without Dissonance
Sloane Ortel and Ashby Monk are joined by Kelly Grotke, a PhD in history and founder of Pattern Recognition Research, to wade into divestment and its implications in the institutional investment world. The conversation explores the role of finance and investing in building the kind of society we want, the challenges of having productive conversations about divestment, and the ideological aversions to considering divestment in an institutional investment context.
