Host Justin Charles explores how catalytic capital is shifting power in finance through the work of the Inclusive Capital Council (ICC). Featuring Daniel Nissenbaum of the Low Income Investment Fund and Mileyka Burgos-Flores of the Allapattah Collaborative, we dive into how equity-driven investments are putting control in the hands of communities and driving inclusive economic change from Miami to the national stage.
In this episode of Live with Living Cities, host Justin Charles explores the power of catalytic capital and how the Inclusive Capital Council (ICC) is working to transform not just how capital flows—but who controls it and who benefits from it.
You’ll hear from Daniel Nissenbaum, CEO of the Low Income Investment Fund (LIIF), and Mileyka Burgos-Flores, founder and executive director of the Allapattah Collaborative CDC in Miami. Together, they share how bold, equity-centered investments are challenging the status quo of traditional finance and fueling community-led economic development.
From national capital strategies to neighborhood-level innovation, this episode unpacks the role of catalytic capital in closing income and wealth gaps, shifting power to community-based capital allocators, and building a more inclusive economy—one investment at a time.
Whether you’re a funder, policymaker, entrepreneur, or advocate for equitable growth, this conversation offers powerful insights into what it takes to disrupt extractive systems and reimagine capital as a tool for justice.
