You Don’t Always Need Investor Dollars To Start Your Business
Manage episode 264705330 series 2551124
Are investments the best or easiest way to start a business? It's debatable. What's certain is that with the right preparation, planning, and love from your community you can build a thriving business. Just ask Dr. Lakeysha Hallmon (@drkeyhallmon), founder of thriving The Village Market (@thevillagemarketatl) in Atlanta, Georgia. On today’s episode Dr. Key breaks down how she decided to do something about the lack of Black businesses being showcased in Atlanta...without a single dollar of investor money, just donations from her own village. She also discusses how The Village Market has successfully pivoted during a global pandemic and national racial unrest. Keep listening after Dr. Key’s interview for another special Bonus Boss segment with Blackbird House founder, Brigid Coulter, sponsored by Pine-Sol.
