117: Activist Venture Capital and Teaching Yoga and Meditation at Rikers with Marcus Glover

Pivot with Jenny Blake - A podcast by Jenny Blake

I had the great fortune of sitting behind Marcus Glover on a bus ride to Wallkill Prison for a Defy Ventures business mentoring day, and time flew as we talked about everything from him teaching yoga and meditation at Rikers, to criminal justice work, to his mission of funding minority-owned businesses through disruptive venture capital.  I can’t wait for you to listen in on this conversation and get your own powerful dose of Marcus magic! You’ll hear about his passion for well-told stories, practicing empathy (rather than the misguided savior complex), cultural competency around dismantling privilege, and much more. 📝 Check out full show notes from this episode with links to resources mentioned at http://pivotmethod.com/117 Learn more about your ad choices.
