Elliott Holland Moderates a Panel on The Life-Changing Potential of Buying a Business

I collaborated with the Acquiring Minds podcast to moderate a panel on the life-changing potential of buying a business as a Black entrepreneur. Bakari Akil, Bruce Vann, and Chris Munn joined me to discuss each of their journeys to buying a business and securing the kind of financial freedom that they always hoped for. In addition to our personal stories of buying businesses, we cover a range of topics that will be helpful and inspiring for anyone working toward the life-changing goal of buying a business.

Learn about:

• The challenges we faced in our searches

• The importance of being authentic and assertive in business

• Our operating experiences as Black business owners

• How we dealt with sellers who want to talk U.S. politics

• Changing your mentality to lead a company effectively

• Unclaimed opportunities for minority businesses

• What inspires and motivates us as business owners

• The limitations of a W2

• The three necessary factors for capitalism to work

I hope you find our panel inspiring and instructive as you travel your own path!
