“It’s safe to say that most of us understand the issues with Black Friday. The much-celebrated day promotes impulse buying and excessive consumption while benefiting large retailers and overshadowing small businesses. But despite our awareness of these issues, the allure of Black Friday deals remains strong for many consumers (myself included). So why is it so hard to resist Black Friday deals? The psychological tactics employed by retailers, combined with the genuine desire to save money in an increasingly expensive world, create a perfect storm of consumerism. We find ourselves caught between our values and the temptation of seemingly unbeatable offers. The fear of missing out (FOMO) kicks in, and suddenly, we’re justifying purchases we might not have considered otherwise.” Want to hear more? Emily Mercy’s thought piece touches on the feelings and emotions that Black Friday conjures up for many of us. It digs into the psychological manipulation tactics used by retailers to drive unnecessary consumption on this day. Read the full piece to learn about organizations taking accountability and shifting their approach, and hear how we can navigate this day in a mindful way.

I really loved this interview with Ryan Oneil Knight. I'm hugely inspired by his Goparity Canada campaign with ACBN Canada Foundation to acquire a social enterprise franchise. I think it could be a game-changer to help scale social enterprise, and I hope you'll consider investing with them.

“You cannot give from an empty cup.” #TransparencyTales are back with another story from Miyanda, a caregiver at Just Like Family Home Care Canada. Miyanda works at the franchise location which is being directly supported by the investment opportunity on the Goparity platform! Ownership matters, and the franchise acquisition from ACBN Canada Foundation will not only create a legacy as a black-owned business, circumventing the intergenerational ownership gap, but it will also increase impact on community seniors and caregivers. In this recording, Miyanda shares the purpose behind the work that she does, and some important lessons she’s learned along the way.
