In this episode, we hear how Ivy Newman developed her passion for entrepreneurship as a young child. Born and raised in Richmond, Virginia, she grew up in a strong religious household, her mom a deacon in the local church. Ivy describes what it was like living immersed in black excellence and attending schools led by black teachers and principals, with a majority black student population. She discusses how her concept and model of giving back developed, and how her reverence for elders—especially a gentleman by the name of Thomas Cannon, whose influence has endured to this day—has helped shape her life. Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Studios honored her in her childhood for her generosity; she talks about that, and shares about her time at Oberlin College and Columbia University. Before closing, she offers business and entrepreneur tips for those coming up.
