<v Speaker 2>Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:03.960
<v Speaker 3>I want to ask you about the Chamber for Entrepreneurs.

0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:06.520
<v Speaker 3>What is the inboarding process? Like, let's say, okay, I'm

0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:10.000
<v Speaker 3>an entreprecause the point of the Chamber of Commerce is

0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:12.960
<v Speaker 3>a networking organization, right, Like you get to go to

0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:17.039
<v Speaker 3>meetings and you get to meet other people in different areas.

0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:19.039
<v Speaker 3>So let's say I'm in banking, right, I get to

0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 3>meet somebody who's in insurance, I get to meet somebody

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:25.360
<v Speaker 3>who's in investing. I get to meet So now me

0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:27.560
<v Speaker 3>as a finance that's how That's why I used to

0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:32.120
<v Speaker 3>go because as a financial advisor, you're these chamber they

0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:34.720
<v Speaker 3>like had like it was like local chambers, and they

0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:39.280
<v Speaker 3>have meetings and they only let like one person in

0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:41.959
<v Speaker 3>per industry and at that meeting at like the local

0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:45.480
<v Speaker 3>chamber level, so it like one insurance guy, one investing guy,

0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:48.400
<v Speaker 3>one CPA, and then you all kind of network with

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:50.600
<v Speaker 3>each other. Okay, I'll give you clients, you give me

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:55.240
<v Speaker 3>clients opportunities and stuff like that. So what's the onboarding

0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:59.680
<v Speaker 3>process for entrepreneurs to get into a chamber commerce and

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:03.080
<v Speaker 3>what's best practices for them to get the best results

0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:03.919
<v Speaker 3>out of the chamber.

0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:07.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean, I mean you're ready a good point.

0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:10.080
<v Speaker 5>I mean I think there's a value if you're a

0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:12.880
<v Speaker 5>local business to being connected to that local chamber. These

0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:16.960
<v Speaker 5>are all three different levels of membership and engagement. Same

0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.040
<v Speaker 5>with the state chamber. I mean, if you're really trying

0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:21.799
<v Speaker 5>to do business statewide in a given state, I would

0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.360
<v Speaker 5>suggest you really should be involved in the state Chamber of.

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:25.359
<v Speaker 4>Commerce where you live.

0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:27.960
<v Speaker 5>But if you really want to do business, you know,

0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:31.640
<v Speaker 5>think of US again as the national organization that's engaging

0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:36.520
<v Speaker 5>corporations that are that's engaging opportunities.

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.520
<v Speaker 4>Are broad across across the world. Then the US Chamber

0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:40.280
<v Speaker 4>is a place that you should think about membership.

0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:41.960
<v Speaker 5>And you can go to each of these I mean,

0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 5>go to US Chamber dot com and I think there's

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 5>a link there that can direct you to one of

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:51.000
<v Speaker 5>our membership officers, and you know, and it's based on

0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:54.320
<v Speaker 5>what your interests are, they'll talk with you, you know,

0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.960
<v Speaker 5>are you interested in tech, are you interested in exporting?

0:02:57.000 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 4>Are you interested in cyber uh? Uh?

0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 5>You know, they'll talk with you about your revenue and

0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:05.040
<v Speaker 5>your broke strategy and trying to make sure that your

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:09.240
<v Speaker 5>experience as a member is rewarding and beneficial uh for

0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.360
<v Speaker 5>you as a member company. But again I can't under

0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:17.000
<v Speaker 5>I just can't emphasize the value of the ability to

0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 5>meet individuals, to meet companies, to meet global leaders. You know,

0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:25.160
<v Speaker 5>give you an example of a brother whose name you

0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:28.760
<v Speaker 5>would recognize, Isaiah Thomas, who's a very different I'm talking

0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:30.840
<v Speaker 5>about the old Isaiah.

0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:37.920
<v Speaker 4>The younger one or the older one. Okay, man, you

0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 4>know people don't know about Zeke.

0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:43.280
<v Speaker 5>I only uses as an example, but uh uh, you

0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 5>know he has everything from Sharland Champagne.

0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:48.680
<v Speaker 4>He's in real estate, but.

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.240
<v Speaker 5>He's also doing business, a lot of business in the

0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 5>country of Colombia.

0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:54.760
<v Speaker 4>And so I brought him in.

0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:56.520
<v Speaker 5>He's a member of the Chamber, he's a member of

0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:59.240
<v Speaker 5>the International Division. He's now had a pleasure to meet

0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:01.760
<v Speaker 5>with the President of Columbia and get to know all

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:05.360
<v Speaker 5>of those government officials and other private sector partners who

0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 5>are good for his business in Columbia. And so my

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:10.600
<v Speaker 5>point in saying that, and there are others, but I

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 5>only use use him as an example, is you know,

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:16.040
<v Speaker 5>you have to think about what you.

0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:18.320
<v Speaker 4>Want from these organizations.

0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:20.919
<v Speaker 5>And they're more organizations that you can be member have

0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:25.040
<v Speaker 5>a membership in, but I think you need to think

0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:27.960
<v Speaker 5>about what you want in return and the value of

0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 5>a membership and being in the Chamber to help you

0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:31.560
<v Speaker 5>reach your business goals.

0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:34.120
<v Speaker 3>And I just want to just real quick because I

0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:36.920
<v Speaker 3>just want to hammle this point down because so as

0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 3>a business owner, you're up against a lot to be successful.

0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 3>As a black business owner, you're up against even more

0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:43.600
<v Speaker 3>to be successful.

0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:43.840
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:47.480
<v Speaker 3>So we talk about networking and relationships and stuff like

0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:49.960
<v Speaker 3>that a lot, but people don't like, how do I

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.039
<v Speaker 3>what does that mean? How do I build relationships? How

0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 3>do I get in front of the right people? So

0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:56.719
<v Speaker 3>this is something that you know. This is like you said,

0:04:56.760 --> 0:05:00.360
<v Speaker 3>there's other organizations, but the Chain of Commerce is one

0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:04.200
<v Speaker 3>organization as a business owner that you can actually join

0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:07.400
<v Speaker 3>and now you can actually go to different events and

0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.240
<v Speaker 3>like you said, you get what you put into it, right.

0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.120
<v Speaker 3>So if you join and you're just a ghost member

0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:14.240
<v Speaker 3>you never do anything, then you're not gonna get anything

0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:16.200
<v Speaker 3>out of it. But if you're active and maybe you

0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:18.160
<v Speaker 3>work your way up the ranks, right and you meet

0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:21.039
<v Speaker 3>this person, meet that person, you have to put yourself

0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:24.599
<v Speaker 3>in positions to win. So this is something that's extremely

0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:29.200
<v Speaker 3>beneficial for entrepreneurs to build their network and to meet

0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:34.400
<v Speaker 3>people and to cultivate relationships because ultimately that's gonna get

0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:36.160
<v Speaker 3>you into the next door. So I just wanted to

0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 3>kind of handle that point home for people that might

0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 3>not fully understand the importance of it. That's that's the

0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:46.280
<v Speaker 3>reason why an organization like the chain of commerce is important,

0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:50.360
<v Speaker 3>and why you, as a business owner, should be looking

0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:54.719
<v Speaker 3>at any type of organization that you can to be

0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:58.720
<v Speaker 3>active to add value, to meet people, to you know,

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.080
<v Speaker 3>be a treasurer or whatever you can be to kind

0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 3>of move up the ranks, because ultimately that's only gonna

0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:06.680
<v Speaker 3>end up helping you.

0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:11.320
<v Speaker 6>Ernests, what's up. You ever walk into a small business

0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:14.440

0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.680

<v Speaker 7>that can do to actually be valuable to the members

0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:15.000
<v Speaker 7>and the organization there? Because I think we hear it

0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:16.880
<v Speaker 7>as a buzz phrase, but I don't know if many

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:20.880
<v Speaker 7>people have a framework to actually be helpful valuable. What

0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:22.600
<v Speaker 7>would you do if you're starting a new business and

0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:24.839
<v Speaker 7>you joined, what would be like the first three things

0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:26.680
<v Speaker 7>you would try to do to give the most value

0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:28.160
<v Speaker 7>to the members members there.

0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:32.800
<v Speaker 5>You mean to give a value to the business the

0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:34.719
<v Speaker 5>new member who's joining the chamber, or for them to

0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:35.959
<v Speaker 5>give value to the you chamber.

0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:37.440
<v Speaker 4>Because those are two different questions.

0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:39.800
<v Speaker 7>Nod to give value to the Chamber, because I think

0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:41.360
<v Speaker 7>you have to give first in order to be able

0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:41.800
<v Speaker 7>to receive.

0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:43.360
<v Speaker 4>That's right, Listen, brother.

0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.199
<v Speaker 5>One of the things that in ternally giving value to

0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:48.520
<v Speaker 5>the Chamber that we have to be smart and do

0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:52.600
<v Speaker 5>more of is show up in these policy commercations. I mean,

0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.320
<v Speaker 5>I tested found capital here all the time, and in

0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:58.760
<v Speaker 5>fact them there this week meeting with the Congression Black Caucus,

0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:02.040
<v Speaker 5>and we don't have enough of us who's showing up

0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:06.360
<v Speaker 5>on the policy side of this work again, And I

0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:10.040
<v Speaker 5>would argue because you know, oftentimes, you know, I'm looking

0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.320
<v Speaker 5>for us to show up, and Johnny beg folks to

0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:16.240
<v Speaker 5>come in and meet with the White House on some

0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:20.360
<v Speaker 5>of these regulatory policies, on tax issues and things that

0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:25.560
<v Speaker 5>shape how successful we are or not. On international trade, agreements. Again,

0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:28.160
<v Speaker 5>I don't know that we've been exposed to that, but

0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:31.240
<v Speaker 5>we need more of us to show up in these

0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.960
<v Speaker 5>rooms that literally I watch it.

0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:37.200
<v Speaker 4>I mean I've done a lot. This has been my career.

0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:41.080
<v Speaker 5>These rooms, whether it's in on Capitol Hill or in

0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:46.319
<v Speaker 5>your state legislatures and committees, this is where you can

0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:50.559
<v Speaker 5>be made or you can be broken because this is

0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:54.600
<v Speaker 5>where the policy is made, the regulations are advanced and

0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:59.200
<v Speaker 5>promulgated that shape business success in America, and so we

0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:01.800
<v Speaker 5>need more people to sh show up. That's how you

0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:04.439
<v Speaker 5>can contribute in helping the chamber. And certainly the work

0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:07.280
<v Speaker 5>that I do is being a part of that dialogue,

0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:11.520
<v Speaker 5>taking time to understand the issues that affect your company

0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:17.800
<v Speaker 5>on the political the policy side, and also how that

0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:23.200
<v Speaker 5>extends into the politics, because our vote matters when we

0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:26.240
<v Speaker 5>can align our vote with our economic challenges and our

0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:30.640
<v Speaker 5>economic opportunities. I don't know that we actually are candidates

0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:34.320
<v Speaker 5>and elected officials the right questions and so even on

0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:37.880
<v Speaker 5>the political side, which you know, again I come from

0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:40.440
<v Speaker 5>as well, you know, we got to really advance an

0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:43.240
<v Speaker 5>agenda and be a part of the agenda that supports

0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:46.440
<v Speaker 5>the growth of black businesses and our economic opportunity and

0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:47.480
<v Speaker 5>closing as wealth gap.

0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:48.439
<v Speaker 4>So we got to show up.

0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:51.000
<v Speaker 6>So I just want to stay right there for the

0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:54.840
<v Speaker 6>regulation and policies because I mean being part of the commerce.

0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.280
<v Speaker 6>The future of work is changing, right, and so if

0:11:57.280 --> 0:11:59.680
<v Speaker 6>we look at the landscape, I wonder how you guys

0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:02.280
<v Speaker 6>view it or how you're addressing the changes that are

0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:05.640
<v Speaker 6>coming from technology. Are you viewing as an opportunity or

0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:08.360
<v Speaker 6>is it more of a detriment to say, like we

0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:10.240
<v Speaker 6>need to be careful and need to have security around

0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:12.839
<v Speaker 6>the future of work in regards to AI generitor of

0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:15.760
<v Speaker 6>AI automation, how is the commerce see in.

0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:20.640
<v Speaker 5>This Well, I mean, obviously I mean AI and technology,

0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:23.240
<v Speaker 5>and in terms of the future work is an extremely

0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:27.040
<v Speaker 5>important issue the private sector generally, and it's viewed more

0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:30.439
<v Speaker 5>of an asset than a liability. But I think for

0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:34.360
<v Speaker 5>for African Americans in particular, and the research has proven

0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:38.280
<v Speaker 5>we have to be really concerned about the impact of

0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:41.880
<v Speaker 5>AI and technology in displacing workers.

0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:43.040
<v Speaker 4>What does that mean?

0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:45.040
<v Speaker 5>That means we got to think about do we have

0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.920
<v Speaker 5>the skills to compete for these technology driven jobs of

0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:54.160
<v Speaker 5>the future, And that means rethinking even the curriculums from

0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:59.720
<v Speaker 5>K through twelve to HBCUs and preparing our young workforce

0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:02.360
<v Speaker 5>for these jobs that are going to be at a

0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:06.120
<v Speaker 5>minimum automated or technology types of jobs. I don't know

0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:09.800
<v Speaker 5>what won't be driven by technology. And one of the

0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:13.640
<v Speaker 5>areas that I'm focused on that as you think about this,

0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:18.320
<v Speaker 5>you know the millions of people without jobs and millions

0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:19.440
<v Speaker 5>of jobs without people.

0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:23.080
<v Speaker 4>It's second chance hiring. I'm doing a lot around that.

0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:26.520
<v Speaker 5>How do we get those who've been formally concrated back

0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:30.160
<v Speaker 5>into our workforce. So that's a big priority within my

0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:34.199
<v Speaker 5>department at the Chamber, whether it's the policies or or

0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:37.240
<v Speaker 5>getting more companies to make commitments to give people a

0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:40.240
<v Speaker 5>second or a third or fourth chance. In this case,

0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:44.400
<v Speaker 5>I mean, just because you had a A A A

0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:48.000
<v Speaker 5>A A A conviction and a mine of crime ought

0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:51.600
<v Speaker 5>not prevent you from getting the job, especially in the

0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:54.880
<v Speaker 5>time when again there are millions of jobs without people

0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:57.520
<v Speaker 5>and millions of people without jobs. So workforce is a

0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:01.920
<v Speaker 5>big issue, but the technology pieces front and we have

0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:03.960
<v Speaker 5>to be a part of that in terms of making

0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:06.640
<v Speaker 5>you have the skills to be compete for those jobs.

0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:10.520
<v Speaker 1>An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child

0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:14.400
<v Speaker 1>in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador

0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:18.760
<v Speaker 1>accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with

0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:22.720
<v Speaker 1>filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just

0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:26.600
<v Speaker 1>some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:30.160
