Speaker 1: There's this concept of um and I think it's like
Speaker 1: people like Peter Till who talk about this like you
Speaker 1: have to have a unique perspective on things like what
Speaker 1: is your unique value? Like why should you be doing
Speaker 1: this thing? If you're going to an investor and they're like,
Speaker 1: you know, okay, we understand there's an opportunity in the marketplace,
Speaker 1: but why are you the one to solve this thing?
Speaker 1: And when I talk to entrepreneurs, sometimes not not of
Speaker 1: you know, black descent or African American descent or African descent,
Speaker 1: I should say, um, I find entrepreneurs who may be
Speaker 1: in wildly successful businesses, but they have no passion for
Speaker 1: the business that they're in. Maybe they do you know,
Speaker 1: street signs, right, whatever it is that they do. And
Speaker 1: I wonder if you could play the other side of
Speaker 1: that conversation, like when is it okay for us to
Speaker 1: just be opportunists and see an opportunity in the marketplace
Speaker 1: and go do something about it. There's no argument against that,
Speaker 1: that's for sure. I think it's funny when you talk
Speaker 1: about why are you the person? If you're not the person,
Speaker 1: but you have a hundred thousand people saying that you
Speaker 1: are the person that about it, whether I think you're
Speaker 1: the person or where the investor things to your person.
Speaker 1: There's a hundred thousand people back there and they're buying
Speaker 1: my service who think I'm the person. They don't care
Speaker 1: about me. They care about the service. And so if
Speaker 1: you're trying to get funding and you have a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of tracks, you have a whole bunch of crazy fans. Um,
Speaker 1: that's the volumes. Now they may be look other kinds
Speaker 1: of pattern matching, right, but results talk. So I think
Speaker 1: that that's the first thing to think about when you're
Speaker 1: when you were when you were saying um. And in
Speaker 1: terms of like taking opportunities, yeah, because sometimes you practice
Speaker 1: that this one fails, but you learn some things. You
Speaker 1: take another crack at it, a little while longer, a
Speaker 1: little bit later, another and then it's the next idea
Speaker 1: that actually clicks. But if you're waiting for that perfect opportunity,
Speaker 1: probably aren't going to ever. So if you see something
Speaker 1: before it tested out and then hit that wall and say, Yep,
Speaker 1: this is not the business I want to be, that's
Speaker 1: much better than sort of waiting back and hoping for
Speaker 1: perfect situation, because that's not going to ever happen. It's
Speaker 1: black tech, green money. Share this podcast with the people
