#127 Roberto Blake on Life as a Black Creator & Embracing Your Otherness as an Entrepreneur

Before we get to this week’s episode, I have some very exciting news to share. The Business Bundle (which was 70+ courses for $100!) is officially coming back very, very soon, and it’s an even better deal than before. 

I’m talking 90+ biz courses for ONLY $100! Total. Over $21K in programs! (And for those of you who already purchased the Bundle, you’ll be getting all of the extra courses at no additional cost when this sale is launched.) 

I’ve also mentioned before that it’s really important (and non-negotiable) to me that what I promote aligns with my values. If you listened to Episode 126 on Making Decisions When the Conversation is Bigger Than Your Business, I walked you through my decision to hold off on promotions for it last time around. Since then, a lot of work has been done behind the scenes by the bundle organizers and it shows. I wouldn’t be participating in this relaunch if I didn’t feel like work was being done and that it was done from a place of sincerity. 

All of that being said, if you are interested in this Bundle, subscribe here for more details SOON. And now, for this week’s Beyond Influential…

Important conversations like this one are exactly why I love doing this podcast. I’m excited to welcome back my friend, YouTuber and video expert, Roberto Blake, who was one of my very first guests on Beyond Influential (all the way back on Episode 6!).  This week’s episode is a very open, honest, and candid conversation that came about organically around Roberto’s experience as a Black creator and entrepreneur, and really is a must-listen on empathy, understanding, and appreciating other perspectives. He also dropped some incredible business bombs!

On Ep. 127, we discuss:

  • Being Black in America: Assumptions, Systemic Racism & Unconscious Bias 
  • Navigating mental health issues and Black Anxiety 
  • The dangers of cancel culture, handling hate, and the feeling that you can’t win
  • Navigating difficult conversations about race and blackness
  • Embracing your “otherness” and how to use it to your advantage
  • Plus entrepreneurial gems on how to niche down, stand out, and more!
