Welcome to the kickoff episode of the Special Summer Series of Envision Radio in partnership with the Jefferson School Foundation! Each episode in this series will highlight a guest connected to the Jefferson School, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year!
On this episode of Envision Radio, Markiana and Price chat with guest Shantel Hopkins, Director of Lending at The Fountain Fund. They chat about his commitment to helping people achieve lasting financial stability, some of his favorite success stories, how he adjusted his path when he was “headed nowhere, very fast,” and more.
Envision Radio is a weekly radio show and podcast co-hosted by United Way of Greater Charlottesville‘s Markiana Smith and Price Thomas of City of Promise. Each week, we welcome Greater Charlottesville-area business, government, nonprofit, and community leaders to have candid conversations about a myriad of topics, including race, equity, education, and more.
