In this episode, Rob is joined by his friend, Isaac McCoy, who shares his unique perspective on the critical work of inclusiveness and creating economic access to entrepreneurial activity in under-served communities of color, from his hometown of Chicago, to the Southern United States and the world. Isaac is a natural leader, and has leveraged that skill to build a number of consulting companies, a Private Equity investment firm and serve a stint in President Obama’s administration.
Isaac is the co-founder of the Jamii Group, a social impact and business development firm working with up and coming businesses as well as Fortune 500 brands. Dedicated to educating the next generation of business leaders and influencers, Isaac currently serves as the Dean of the School of Business at historic Stillman College, an HBCU (Historically Black College & University) in Alabama. His vision and strategy focuses on Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Technology, Accreditation, Fundraising, Globalization, Civic Engagement and Responsibility.
A former White House Appointee in the Obama Administration, he led economic policies and initiatives to support the growth and sustainability of minority-owned businesses.
Isaac served as a Global Innovation Fellow, within the US State Department, a select group of emerging entrepreneurs and innovators who are committed to international dialogue that promotes shared economic prosperity and inclusive innovation in and between American and Chinese markets.
