Zuby sits down with Robert Netzly, CEO and founder of Inspire Investing, to discuss how a personal conviction led him to walk away from traditional Wall Street in 2011. Robert explains what Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI) is and how he successfully launched faith-based ETFs on the New York Stock Exchange. He reveals how companies are screened and how people vote with their dollars. The conversation also dives into stewardship, complicity with evil, and a thoughtful discussion on Bitcoin.
