In this episode I kick off 2020 and celebrate one year of podcasting by interviewing my good friend and colleague Dwight Peters. We sit down live in front of an audience and chop to up about everything from parenthood to being black entrepreneurs. As we have done in all past episodes we kept to 1000% real on what his experiences have been as well as his adventures and misadventures. Tune in to hear how Dwight's journey of persistence and perseverance led him to where he is today.
In our modern day lens, entrepreneurship has become a huge trend. People fantasize over quitting their jobs, becoming their own boss, and gaining financial freedom. Everyone wants to be the next Steve Jobs, Oprah or Jeff Bezos. We get caught up with social influencers and billion-dollar startups aka the land of fairies and unicorns. People often forget the time, energy and money that gets invested into earning these magical moments. The nights spent crying, waking up to negative bank account balances, spats of depression, or working 22 hour work days. All entrepreneurs go through phases of misadventures. We are driven, persistent, hardworking, ambitious, we are doers, and these are our stories.
