Opportunity SC Podcast Hosted by Bernie Mazyck, President & CEO, SCACED Opportunity SC Podcast is a dynamic platform where ideas, leadership, and real-world solutions converge to shape the future of community economic development in South Carolina. Hosted by Bernie Mazyck, President and CEO of the South Carolina Association for Community Economic Development (SCACED), the podcast brings together influential voices from across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. Each episode features candid, insightful conversations with leaders who are driving change—executives of Community Development Corporations (CDCs), Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs), philanthropic partners, policymakers, and grassroots innovators. Through these discussions, the podcast explores the policies, investments, and strategies that are strengthening communities, expanding economic opportunity, and addressing some of the state’s most pressing challenges. Designed for practitioners in the CED space, legislators, and nonprofit leaders alike, Opportunity SC Podcast offers a unique blend of thought leadership and practical insight. Listeners gain a deeper understanding of how collaboration across sectors can unlock capital, influence policy, and build pathways to long-term sustainability and equity. More than a podcast, Opportunity SC serves as a statewide forum—elevating stories, amplifying impact, and reinforcing SCACED’s role as a leading voice in advancing resilient and inclusive communities across South Carolina.
