0:25 Why turn your passion into a business?
1:01 How to find your unique path to success
When it comes to trailblazing a unique path towards success in a traditional business world, Maya Penn brings an unorthodox concept to the table: putting her heart into her business. Believing entrepreneurship goes hand-in-hand with activism, Maya emphasizes the importance of supporting a specific mission or cause in order to reach scalable business success. Because not only does it allow you to do business authentically, but future employees, customers and investors take notice, too. With sustainability at the very core of her own business, Maya’s Ideas LLC, she advises fellow entrepreneurs and Black owned businesses to find the “why” that sets them apart from the competition.
