1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,800
What is your goal for being on the show?

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:06,120
That's a good question.

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,320
I don't think I've thought about that before.

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,040
So I was just excited to talk about the entrepreneurs

5
00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:13,600
we work with and the work we do.

6
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:18,280
I think the goal would be to share the message

7
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,280
about the world of entrepreneurship

8
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:26,280
and how it is a pathway that many do not always think about

9
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,720
when we think about success,

10
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:33,320
when we think about life after high school,

11
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:34,160
going to college.

12
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:37,760
Many of us knows about the college pathway.

13
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,120
We know about the post-secondary education.

14
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,720
And I think many of our parents will tell us to go to college

15
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,360
because we have been taught

16
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,440
that this is linear pathway to success.

17
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:55,060
And I don't think success is linear at all,

18
00:00:55,060 --> 00:00:57,840
especially for people of color.

19
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,600
We need to break out of that cycle, out of that mindset

20
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,920
thinking that success is only within the corporate space,

21
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,800
being in those types of like being an accountant,

22
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,440
being a lawyer, being a doctor.

23
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:11,600
There's so much more.

24
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:12,880
Not that there's anything wrong

25
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,920
with being an accountant or a lawyer, right?

26
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,800
But we need to show our children

27
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,320
and we need to show everyone else

28
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:22,320
that there are other ways to success.

29
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:26,400
And even if you did take the linear pathway towards success

30
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,680
and you can climb in that corporate ladder,

31
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,880
it is never too late to change your career,

32
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,280
to change your mind and doing something different

33
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:35,760
and taking that risk.

34
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:36,880
At the end of the day,

35
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,320
I think we should all take whatever risk we think is possible

36
00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:43,360
to make yourself happy

37
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,320
and to be able to also to give back.

38
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:48,800
So do something that you love,

39
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,480
it's something that's impactful

40
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,600
that will leave a positive impression in the world.

41
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,000
Thank you for sharing that.
