Welcome to 2025! After a brief hiatus in 2024, the More Than Profit podcast is back with new energy and shared hosting duties. In this milestone 80th episode, Bryce, Brian, and TJ reflect on the podcast's origins, Access Ventures' core values, and their shared commitment to influencing capital for good. From the power of relationships to the exciting launch of the AV Foundation, this episode offers insights into our unique approach to investment, community building, and human flourishing.

In this episode, we interview Karen Schoellkopf the founder and CEO of Leap Fund, who dives into the critical issue of the benefits cliff—a policy flaw where a slight increase in income results in a disproportionate loss of public benefits, leaving many worse off.

In this episode, we chat with Ilaria Chan, a global keynote speaker and private investor who serves on the Boards of several humanitarian organizations. Ilaria shares her journey from investment banking to culinary school and her current work in the tech industry. She discusses the importance of understanding different realities and the drive to promote human flourishing, and she emphasizes the need to acknowledge and address global issues, bridging the gap between the East and the West. Throughout our conversation, Ilaria's compassion, intelligence, and hope shine through, inspiring us to make a meaningful impact in the world.In this episode, we chat with Ilaria Chan, a global keynote speaker and private investor who serves on the Boards of several humanitarian organizations.
