HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm excited to be speaking with an expert in ethical education investments. Can you tell us a bit about your experience and what drew you to this field? GUEST: Absolutely, I've been working in finance for over a decade and during that time, I became increasingly interested in how we could make our investments more ethical and socially responsible. This led me to focus on education, an area where I believe investing with integrity can bring about significant change. HOST: That's fascinating. And now you're teaching a course called 'Advanced Skill Certificate in Ethical Education Investments'. Could you give us a brief overview of what this course entails? GUEST: Certainly!

HOST: Impact investing seems to be a growing trend these days. Could you share some insights on its current relevance in the industry? GUEST: Absolutely. Impact investing is on the rise as more people realize the potential of using their investments to generate positive social and environmental impact alongside financial return.

Are there any particular obstacles you've encountered or anticipate learners might face in this area? GUEST: One challenge is measuring impact.
