As a leader in the financial industry, how are you working to shape culture?
At Aspiration, we sometimes say that we didn't set out to build a bank, we set out to build a better world. When I was a Fellow, I never would have imagined that I'd be "a leader in the financial industry." The reality is that every part of the financial industry shapes our culture. Money drives all aspects of our culture and society -- whether it is in ways we like or don't. When we each make decisions on where we save our money, where and how we spend our money, we are making moral judgments -- either by omission or commission. The largest banks in the world use their own customers' deposits to finance fossil fuel projects, gun manufacturers, private prisons, detention centers and more. With Aspiration, we are creating a home for people who don't want their dollars used in such a way and instead want to make a positive impact through how they spend and save.
