In this episode, I talk to Yomi Afolabi & Ife Akinkoye as we dialogue on what the barriers are to doing business with friends (or family), and how that limits a group of people, using Nigerians and Nigerian-Americans as a case study. Yomi points to Trust and varying risk levels as the reason for limited business transactions Ife points to the role culture plays, and even delves into external factors (i.e. colonialism) that derail collective bargaining (& internal trust) We land on the need to think globally, not limited to Ghanian-Americans or African-American, but as Blacks We affirm the need to scale up on trust, knowing it starts from a few good men/women working together before a full community can grow collectively We end with the need to have continued conversations, hoping it yields significant results for the next generation.
