Episode description
Raising businesses and babies at the same time can take a toll on ParentPreneurs! Especially Black ParentPreneurs.
James Oliver, Jr. is CEO of the ParentPreneur Foundation, which empowers Black ParentPreneurs to succeed at entrepreneurship so they may leave a legacy for their beautiful Black children.
As a parent of twins who were born prematurely and weighed only two pounds each, two days before he started a tech accelerator, James has a deep understanding of the challenges facing Black ParentPreneurs.
James is also the founder of WeMontage.com, which turns your photos into repositionable wallpaper, and the author of The More You Hustle, The Luckier You Get: You CAN Be a Successful ParentPreneur. Grab a copy here: https://amzn.to/3Hr6rpw
