What Byron Allen is to cable television is what Barack Obama is to the American presidency. Now a media mogul on track to purchase an NFL team, he essentially started from very little. He started from a modest place and made his debut on television on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson at only eighteen years old. We are talking all things Byron Allen today, diving into his story and how he got to where he is today and using him as an example of the importance of things like activity, leverage, and owning our success.

We talk about Byron Allen being an inspiration for us and why, how business is a real life game of Monopoly, and motivation and assessing why we do what we do. We also talk about how Byron Allen is fighting for economic inclusion and emphasize the difference between equity and inclusion, using a hypothetical dance as an example. Equity means that everyone is invited to the dance, whereas inclusion means that everyone is asked to dance.

We had a great time having this conversation about Byron Allen and hope that you enjoy listening! We, as always, really appreciate you tuning in and encourage you to reach out to us via the email address provided in the show notes if you have anything that you would like to share with us! Until next time!
