In this episode I share some reflections and personal stories on a theme from last week's episode with Jennifer Juma on holding down side gigs while chasing your corporate dreams. I am a serial entrepreneur with 4 ventures under my belt now. They are all focused on creating an equitable world in which people like me, with marginalized identities, have a fair shot at their dreams. People arrive at entrepreneurship in different ways and in my journey, I had to be nudged in that direction by necessity. I was inspired into entrepreneurship in moments where I needed to survive. However I have since realized new benefits to my entrepreneurship in enhancing my skills, knowledge and network in a way that benefits my corporate career dreams. This is something I got to hear about in a Harvard Business Review Ideacast podcast episode called Smarter Side Gigs.
