BLACK ENTREPRENEUR BLUEPRINT SHOW NOTES – EPISODE # 424
In today’s episode, I want to give you some takeaways and several resource links.
TAKEAWAYS:
- James took his time learning the business and didn’t rush. He started in the entertainment industry in 1992 as a production assistant but didn’t start his own business DuBose Entertainment until 2005.
- He started his business when he saw that there was a void in storytelling for the Black culture and decided to fill that void by starting his own business. He identified a problem and decided to try to solve it.
- James had a great quote where he said “greatness is never a one-man show.” Meaning that it takes a team to build something great.
- James also mentioned that even though he is running Fox Soul, he still owns DuBose Entertainment because of the importance of having multiple streams of income.
- Book Link – The book James mentioned at the end of the podcast is called “Mans Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl. Here’s the link: https://www.amazon.com/Mans-Search-Meaning-Viktor-Frankl/dp/0807014273/ref=sr_1_1?crid=DSC3Z4I0P1JT&keywords=viktor+frankl+man%27s+search+for+meaning&qid=1661538662&sprefix=Viktor%2Caps%2C113&sr=8-1
