episode 3: Luke Hohmann
Luke Hohmann is the Founder and CEO of FirstRoot, Inc., a Benefit Corporation devoted to creating great economic equality. Our unique go-to-market strategy supports all stakeholders as youth use participatory budgeting to invest real money in their schools. Youth learn the 5 C's of modern education: creativity, critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and civics as they experience true agency and stewardship over their futures, learning through their own experiences how money really works. We want to get $1K into 1M schools globally and watch what happens when youth control $1B in capital.
