Erik is joined on this episode by James Gallagher (@jamesg_oca), publicly-traded person and researcher and writer in the income-share agreement space.

- How one's incentives are transformed by having “shareholders” and how this arrangement creates value for everyone involved.

- The promise of ISAs to “leverage human potential at scale” and why they are a better replacement for debt financing.

- How ISAs could spread from post-secondary education to hospitals, law offices, primary schools, and beyond.

- James’s replies to some of the concerns expressed about income-share agreements.

- His requests for startups in the space.
