I am a cis- white- male.  I acknowledge the privilege that I have received.

I acquired an education - and funding - and a target acquisition - because of that privilege.  

Entrepreneurship through acquisition is the best risk-adjusted launchpad for generational wealth transition that I know of.  

I want to help.  It is time to talk about how we use our platform, privilege, and knowledge for the greater good.  I would like to start that conversation here.

SBA keeps stats on ethnicity and gender, and it has been clear for many years that we need more diversity in small business ownership in this country. I am always especially pleased when we can help someone become a CEO, but there is a feeling of doing my part whenever we help a person of color or a woman become a CEO....I am always certain they will do things that go above and beyond to improve their industries and communities.

Scott, I couldn't agree with you more. Thank you for being considerate of other humans. My life plan is to aid in the rebuilding of destroyed communities of Black wealth like Black Wall St in Tulsa. There's no doubt that some will always despise and hate others who look don't like them and their efforts to harm will just mutate as they've done in every generation past. But there's major opportunity both on the searcher side and on the investor side to completely reshape the societal narrative and make handsome profits in the meantime. Would love to connect with you --@----.com
