As Thanksgiving approaches, I’ve found myself reflecting on the extraordinary community we’ve built together. Every week, I have the privilege of engaging with impact investors, social entrepreneurs, and changemakers who are transforming the world—one thoughtful decision, one bold action at a time. Today, I want to pause and celebrate YOU.

This is more than just a list. It’s a heartfelt expression of gratitude for all you do, for who you are, and for the impact you create. Let me share ten reasons I’m thankful for YOU.

1. You do good in a thousand ways.
Everywhere I look, I see you making the world brighter. You’re building businesses that serve communities, investing in ventures that uplift the underserved, and championing causes that need voices like yours. You don’t just talk about making a difference—you do it every single day. Whether you’re driving sustainability, empowering others, or fighting for social justice, your goodness radiates in countless ways. Thank you for showing us what it means to lead with purpose.

2. You want to do more good and make the world better.
What inspires me most about you is your insatiable desire to do more. You’re not satisfied with the status quo, even when you’re already creating profound impact. You keep asking, What’s next? What else can I do? How can I leave the world better than I found it? That hunger for improvement—for finding better ways to serve, innovate, and uplift—is at the heart of everything we do together. Thank you for never settling and for always reaching higher.

3. You love others.
Your work and investments aren’t just about dollars and cents; they’re about people. You care deeply about the individuals and communities impacted by your actions. Whether it’s the entrepreneur chasing their dream, the employees whose livelihoods are supported, or the customers benefiting from a thoughtful product, you center your work on love and compassion. Thank you for bringing humanity to business and investment in a way that inspires us all.

4. You read, watch, and listen.
Every time you open an email, read a newsletter, tune into our show, or attend a live event—virtually or in person—you remind me why this work matters. You take the time to learn, to stay informed, and to engage with ideas that challenge and inspire. Your curiosity fuels this movement, and your attention is a gift. Thank you for showing up, week after week, and for joining me on this journey of discovery and growth.

5. You share, recommend, and encourage others.
You’re not just here for yourself—you’re here to lift others. When you forward an email, share a post, or recommend our work to a friend or colleague, you’re spreading the message of impact investing, social entrepreneurship and impact crowdfunding. Your enthusiasm and encouragement create ripples that reach far beyond what I could ever achieve alone. Thank you for being an advocate and an ambassador for good.

6. You subscribe and join as impact members.
When you subscribe to our Impact Membership, you’re not just supporting our work; you’re accelerating a movement. Your contribution helps us create more content, share more stories, and bring more visibility to the changemakers who need it most. Thank you for believing in this mission and for investing in its success.

7. You support us as max-impact members.
To our Max Impact Members—our premium subscribers—you take generosity to the next level. Your commitment ensures that we can dream bigger, reach further, and do more. Your belief in what we’re building together is a powerful vote of confidence, and I am endlessly grateful for your support. Thank you for standing with us and for fueling the work that lights the way for so many.

8. You sponsor our content to align your brand with ours.
To the sponsors who partner with us—you bring more than funding. You bring validation, collaboration, and alignment with shared values. By sponsoring our content, you’re amplifying the message of impact and demonstrating that business can and should be a force for good. Thank you for walking this path with us and for helping to make our work sustainable.

9. You invest in the SuperCrowd.
The Super Crowd, Inc., a public benefit corporation, the company that publishes this newsletter and the show and hosts the events, raised capital from the crowd last year. Many of you stepped up with investments large and small to fund our work and partner with us formally for long-term success. I can’t thank you enough.

10. You invest in the companies we profile.
Nothing excites me more than seeing you take action—putting your capital behind the companies and entrepreneurs we feature. Every time you invest, you’re telling the world that you believe in innovation, in diversity, in sustainability, and in the power of business to solve big problems. Your investments change lives and create futures. Thank you for being bold, for believing in the possibilities, and for turning ideas into impact.

A Shared Vision of Gratitude and Hope

These ten reasons are just the beginning. Behind every bullet point are countless stories of impact and inspiration. You are the heart and soul of this community, and every time you engage—whether by reading, sharing, sponsoring, or investing—you bring us closer to a world that reflects our shared vision of good.

This Thanksgiving, my gratitude for you overflows. Whether you’ve been part of this journey from the beginning or joined us yesterday, know that you are seen, valued, and celebrated. Thank you for making this work possible, for inspiring me to give my all, and for being the kind of person who makes the world a better place.

Let’s keep doing good, together.

With immense gratitude,
Devin

P.S. I need to call out my appreciation for Chandan Saha, the producer of the Superpowers for Good Show and my co-author here on the newsletter. He and I have worked together for over a decade. One of the great lessons I’ve learned in my life is to listen to him. He does a phenomenal job. Thank you, Chandan!
