In this episode of coolpeoplecooltechcoolstory, host Cameron Kit sits down with the brilliant Marcia Dawood, author of Do Good While Doing Well and host of The Angel Next Door podcast. Marcia shares her unexpected journey into the world of angel investing and how she's helping everyday people—especially women—understand that investing isn’t just for the ultra-wealthy.

From the SEC Advisory Committee to helping build tech that empowers women, Marcia is reshaping who gets to invest and how. If you've ever thought "investing isn’t for me", this episode is for you.
