In this second full episode, I'm chatting with Brandon Calloway, cofounder of G.I.F.T. (Generating Income for Tomorrow) in Kansas City, Missouri. There is some feedback from my airpods and a squeaky chair. But, more importantly, there is also a great introduction to this amazing organization that gives grants to local entrepreneurs trying to start or grow businesses in the redlined neighborhood where my grandma used to live. We talk about Brandon's path through the military and a career in the fitness industry to non-profit sector, a very special eighth grade teacher, talking big money with big banks while Black, and so much more. We somehow also dove into Brandon's burgeoning comic book universe... Tune in!
