Introducing New Entrepreneurs, a podcast series on Social Edge featuring Echoing Green Fellows. Each week, listen to a snappy four-minute interview with a social entrepreneur in our network. So, in about the time it takes for me to settle in my office, turn on the computer, and get my tea, I can also get a dose of inspiration and advice from the tried and true.

This week, listen to Mark Levine, who started Credit Where Credit Is Due, the first credit union to launch in Upper Manhattan during a time when banks were closing branches and skipping out. Thirteen years later, it has 5,000 local members, $6 million in loans, and over $6 million assets. Mark, who is running for local office, passes on some wise words about what makes a social entrepreneur tick.

Join us each week.
