What we talk about:
13:00 – Even if it does not seem possible, it is possible. Successful entrepreneurs have that ‘it’ factor that they believe it is possible.
17:05 – If you are able to influence and shift somebody’s mindset, you set them up for success. It has a ripple effect.
21:10 – Access to resources, access to education, together with cultural piece, are some of the big hurdles to success.
30:22 – Some important mindset for black entrepreneurs: be OK with being the king, be OK with being lonely sometimes, be OK with failure, and be OK with punching and being punched.
