Jan 14, 2026

Jeff Shafer, CEO of CommonGood Capital, speaks with Lynette Khalfani-Cox – a former Wall Street Journal reporter, CNBC correspondent, founder of a 22-year financial education company, best-selling author, investor, wife and mom – about how growing up with limited means shaped her views on work, entrepreneurship, and opportunity. Lynette shares lessons from paying off credit card debt, the role of personal accountability and faith in financial stewardship, why she believes some of today’s most compelling impact and investment opportunities (especially in Africa) are found where few are looking, and much more.
