SOCAP11 Panelist Spotlight: Claire Herminjard, Mindful Meats

What is your role in the Social Capital Market?
I’m an entrepreneur working in one of our oldest industries and most basic needs – food. Mindful Meats focuses on how beef is produced and delivered, and wants to improve connection between eaters, what they eat, and what that means.
How might we re-imagine resources to create self-sustaining and thriving local communities?
Resources have become terms, or labels, used to bucket products or services we need or want – by this, I mean that we have become desensitized to what we do, how, and why. However, humans are still what make our global society move.  If we take the time to look beyond the transaction or use of resources, then perhaps we will see the people behind them – and be more thoughtful and happy about how we, then, operate in and contribute to our own communities.
What does Money + Meaning = to you? What should the social capital market stand for?
Money + Money = Revival
