Leveling Up Your Relationships in the Private Sector (Solo Episode)

Welcome back to the solo episode of the Dear Black CEO podcast with your host, Karl Sona!

Have you ever felt alone within an organization as a minority or even breaking out of one? I want you to know today that you don’t have to go it alone. More minority entrepreneurs and owners are booming into success every day, and my goal is to help you become one of them. There is a massive opportunity for more diverse suppliers to become more active in the value chain. That’s why I’ll be moving in a slightly different direction with this podcast to start building strategic relationships with people on the corporate side of the equation.

Tweetable Quotes:

“It’s really critical that we shift the lens and the perspective of society and that we shine a light on some of these folks that are doing incredible things in their communities and in their industries.” – Karl Sona

“Organizations understand that they’re missing out on an opportunity to better connect with their customers, or they’re missing out on the opportunities to be more nimble… if they’re not bringing more diverse suppliers into the fold.” – Karl Sona
