"If we want to have thriving neighborhoods, we need thriving black-owned businesses." That's the truth coming from MKE Black co-founder, Rick Banks. In this episode, Adam and Steve have an absolute blast talking with him and Ayrton Bryan, who is the director of strategic partnerships and initiatives at MKE Black. So, what exactly is MKE Black? On the surface, it's an app that provides a robust business directory of black-owned businesses. Dig deeper and you'll see it's become a movement to support, connect, educate, and inspire these businesses. Listen in to find out more, including how Rick got started, Adam's obsession with startups (and how he steamrolled himself onto the podcast), and what the future holds for MKE Black.
