Episode 15 — Not a Good Cultural Fit

This month is National Black Business Month. And we tapped Will — a multi-hyphenate in every sense of the word — to join us on this podcast episode.

Will is an entrepreneur, creative, photographer/videographer, and stock trader.

And he’s been featured in The Wall Street Journal TWICE this year alone.

But despite being gifted in many avenues, many of these same avenues are occupied predominantly by white folks.

On this episode, we talk about navigating predominantly white creative and entrepreneur spaces, how companies and brands can sustain equity long term, and how struggle has forced many Black creatives and entrepreneurs to learn and adapt.

To all the creatives and entrepreneurs — specifically our skinfolk — this episode is for you.
