- Against All Odds S3: E:17
It’s the risk most people never see building a dream in a country that isn’t your own. The challenge of learning a new language, navigating a new culture, and starting from scratch while carrying the weight of your family’s hope.
This isn’t just about running a business.
It’s about the resilience you build when failure isn’t an option.
It’s about turning obstacles into fuel for your vision.
It’s about proving to yourself that no barrier is stronger than your belief.
Whether you’re an immigrant chasing your dream or someone wondering if you’ve got what it takes, this episode is your reminder: the struggle that feels like your biggest disadvantage may actually be the strength that sets you apart.
Hit play. Get inspired. And if you know someone walking that immigrant journey, share this with them👉🏽 Order your copy of our new book Building From Scratch at:

12 min - Special Edition Part 5: Why “Balance” Was Never the Goal
In this special edition of the Risk Taker Podcast, we’re talking about something every entrepreneur struggles with balancing family and business. But for us, it’s deeper than “balance”… it’s about priority.
When it comes to our kids, they come first. Period.
Business is important, but family is everything.
In this conversation, we open up about what it really looks like to run a business while being present for the people who matter most. We talk about the sacrifices, the boundaries, and the moments that remind us why we do what we do in the first place.
If you’ve ever felt torn between chasing your dreams and being there for your family, this episode will speak to your heart.👉🏽 Order your copy of our new book Building From Scratch at:

14 min - Building What Didn’t Exist: Why Ayanna Khan Said Yes to the Risk S3:E15
What happens when you realize the space you need doesn’t exist and you decide to build it anyway?
In this episode of the Risk Taker Podcast, we sit down with Ayanna Khan President and CEO, a visionary leader and entrepreneur who made history by founding the Delaware Black Chamber of Commerce (DEBCC). After building a successful career in finance with a major Dow 30 company, Ayanna saw the gap in support and advocacy for Black-owned businesses in her state and she took the risk to fill it.
Since launching DEBCC in 2020, Ayanna has become a powerful force for economic empowerment, diversity, and community-building. Under her leadership, the Chamber was named National Black Chamber of the Year in 2023 and has become a hub for education, advocacy, and strategic partnerships.
Ayanna’s journey didn’t come with a roadmap but what she built has changed the game for countless entrepreneurs. In this conversation, she opens up about:
- The moment she knew she had to create what didn’t exist
- What she risked to launch the chamber
- How she’s navigating leadership, legacy, and representation
- The power of showing up when no one else will
Her story is a masterclass in courage, vision, and execution.
Listen now and be inspired by a woman who didn’t wait for a seat at the table she built the whole room.

12 min - Special Edition Part 3: One Vision. One Team. No Competition.
In this special edition of the Risk Taker Podcast, we’re talking about something that holds more power than strategy, talent, or hustle—unity.
We’re on the same team.
As a couple.
As parents.
As business partners.
As best friends.
And when you truly move like teammates—not competitors—you stop keeping score and start building legacy. In this episode, my wife and I share what it looks like to show up for each other in every role we play, even when life throws its hardest punches.
Because behind every strong vision is a strong bond.
And behind every risk worth taking is someone who says, “I’ve got you.”
This episode is for every couple trying to build something real, every parent navigating purpose and parenting, and every dreamer who knows partnership is the foundation to progress.
Hit play. Feel this one. And remind yourself—you’re not doing this alone.
