It all starts with ONE idea that solves a problem. And it's not impossible that 3,000 miles away, someone will pay for that solution you came up with.By taking that first baby step, you're choosing to embark on your journey, from which you'll learn a lot, whether it becomes successful or not.Listen to this episode with Stephen Green to learn about how he started his career in finance and as an entrepreneur. Learn how he uses his background to support Black-owned businesses in Portland through PitchBlack, and how he helped A Kids Book About to start challenging, empowering, and important conversations with kids.About the Guest:Stephen Green (he/him) from Portland, Oregon is a Blatino who has spreadsheets as his super power and sneakers as his kryptonite. As a result of living in Portland his whole life, he's become a person that gobbles up relationships and community. Like most entrepreneurs, his journey began with his parents who were both entrepreneurs while he was growing up. While his mom started a tech company, his dad worked for Intel for a long time before starting his own HR company with Intel as their main client. And he's now passed this on to his oldest daughter, who also started a business during the pandemic and now takes him out to dinner.A husband, father, recovering banker, and VC, he's also the founder of PitchBlack, a pitch competition he started in 2015 that highlights black founders in regions across the country who strive for community over competition. It has expanded to include events in Seattle, Austin, and Philadelphia. And to date, 100 founders have pitched their ideas, more than 1,000 people have attended the combined events, and more than $100,000 has been awarded directly to the winning companies. In addition, the Portland winners have raised an additional $40M in funding since 2015. A startup mentor and advisor to portfolio firms at Backstage Capital, he also held positions at these companies: Director of Operations at PENSOLE, COO at A Kids Book About, and Community Director at WeWork. He co-authored A Kids Book About Family and he's a contributor to A Kids Book About Public Speaking by TEDxPortland, a volunteer-driven, nonprofit organization, where speakers and performers share ideas on a wide range of topics to bring people together and spark deep discussion and connection.Connect with Stephen Green:Twitter: @PDXStephenGInstagram: @PDXStephenGPitchBlack: https://www.pitchblackpdx.com/A Kids Book About: https://akidsco.com/Timestamps(02:33) - Icebreaker: How Stephen Green became "The Guy Who Knows Everybody"(04:06) - Icebreaker: What America looks like through the eyes of immigrants(04:53) - Icebreaker: His sneaker collection and his three Grail shoes(07:25) - One of the few things that can give you true gratification(08:07) - The two kinds of people in the world(08:44) - His educational background, career in banking, and working with founders(10:18) - What being part of a community is all about and how you can participate in yours better(12:16) - PitchBlack's success story(13:54) - How PitchBlack started and what to watch out for next(16:53) - Being a Blatino while having his own identity in and out of the home(19:34) - Why he thinks now is the easiest, cheapest, and quickest time to start a business(20:45) - The over-glamorized world of entrepreneurship and what you should be focusing on instead before raising money for your business(23:55) - The core tenets of starting and/or running a business(25:45) - Ways your Mission, Vision, and Values

Damon, Jordan & Tony are curious about the intersection of the Black & Latinx Queer experience. Throughout Pride Month, our goal is to amplify a multitude of Queer voices, starting with a crossover episode with BYLATINMEN The Podcast. What are the common and unique experiences of Black & Brown Queer folx? We play a game of superlatives between the two shows, chime in on pop culture, discuss the unique experiences of Latinx Queer people, discuss the need for races to support causes other than their own, and sound off on individuals we would really love to shut the fuck up! We welcome Angel, Kevin & Anthony of BYLATINMEN to our Surface Level family. This episode combines six big personalities into one really fun ride. In the spirit of collaboration we combined fun segments from each of our shows with an equal balance of fun and serious conversation. The experiences of Black and Brown communities are often conflated. We interrogate that idea to give weight to how we can be better allies in experiences that are shared and unique.
The Zo Loft - AOC, Black Like Me? AOC asserts that Latinos are black. Would that be Blatino? (I don't recommend looking up the term to confirm. You'll just get a lot of gay porn.) Hear more in the Zo Loft! The Zo Loft - Conforming to Confusion Control freakin' democrats are using Covid-19 to get into your brain britches, as well as the usual tactics of race-baiting and "political correctness" to make people conform to confusion. Keep people confused about Covid, race, the environment, whatever. You can never get it right. The only thing you can do is eventually be marked to show that you are a "woke" citizen. And who doesn't wanna be "woke", right? Tracy Melchior, Producer of Monochrome Joins us in the Zo Loft too! The Zo Loft - Crack-Pots Calling Black Kettles White Democrat voters who believe anything except the right thing are attacking Dr. Stella Immanuel and her colleagues for their position on Hydrochloroquine. Despite the lunacy liberals are given over to, they trying to discredit Dr. Stella, and make her out to be the crazy one. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/alfonzo-rachel/support
