Dr. Rochelle Haynes - CEO and Founder of Crowd Potential & Gig HR Expert
I’m always interested in understanding what leads to greatness. How people from all around the world and especially in the Caribbean build the belief that they can impact the world. What’s interesting is that things often don’t start off with such a grandiose idea. Often great ideas start with being curious about something you see in the world, and then following the trail of your curiosity to an insight. And then you do the work to validate that your insight has relevance to more people. In an earlier episode this season Ron Johnson of Bl...

Resa Gooding - Founder of Cacao Media
There have been times where I visited somewhere for the first time, like the first time I ever went to Hawaii. As an island boy, the unique mix of island life and vibe as someone from the Caribbean islands, but also the feeling that you have some aspects of the US professional world all in the same place. They say that there are Caribbean people pop up everywhere doing all sorts of things, and one such example is today’s guest, who is a Caribbean entrepreneur born and raised in Trinidad & Tobago, who has ended up not in one...

Some people have a gift of telling incredibly vivid stories that allow you to visualize in amazing detail the experiences they’re recounting.

Alex Siu Chong - CEO of Excellent Stores
On the one hand I bet many Caribbean entrepreneurs out there wish that they had an opportunity to inherit a great brand and business that a family member had built up, where they wouldn’t have the stress of figuring out every single thing from scratch. And that’s the opportunity that today’s guest had. But you know when you really think about it, it’s also incredibly hard to take on something that someone else has built and come into it, stamp your own ideas on to it and also take it further into new waters. ...

David Mullings: The Entrepreneurial Investor
You know, some people look at the Caribbean and they see our vibe and our vibrancy, some look at the Caribbean and they see our inefficiency and the things we don’t do or the things we could be doing.

Jane Wight: CEO of The Business Supply Group of Trinidad
Barack Obama had a bestselling book called the Audacity of Hope. Somehow while not exactly the same thing, when I think of this episode’s guest, audacity is a word that comes to mind. On the podcast often we’ve explored the stories of Caribbean entrepreneurs, but this season we’ve widened the scope because innovation takes many forms and there are many Caribbean businesses that have been established for quite some time, yet they are also on a path of innovation and transformation. And within many of these businesses are leaders at multiple levels who are pushing a change and...
