E148 - Current & Critical - Jeff Loomis, Momentum - Creating a Thriving Local Economy for All
“It’s so critical to be able to provide training and education opportunities that can really help people move forward in their lives.”
A famous quote says, “A rising tide lifts all ships”, and that is precisely the plan Jeff executes at Momentum. Their unique social profit structure bridges the gap between those struggling to educational and employment opportunities to build on their skills and assets. They achieve this through three key ways: They work with people to get better jobs. They work with people to create their own job by starting a business. And then they work with people to be able to manage and save their money so that they can really move forward financially.
Listen to this episode to learn more about how income inequality impacts everyone, and uncover how Momentum is using economic activity to achieve their vision of a future where all Calgarians have a sustainable livelihood.
