Another week, another woman. We are joined this week by the inspirational Ali Greenberg, Founder of The Broad and Brand Strategist. Within a year, Ali envisioned and launched the Richmond, VA workspace and social club for womxn and gender minorities creating community, diverse conversation, and connections with the goal to be exclusively inclusive.
Ali is transparent regarding her experience as a solo business founder and invites us into her thoughtful journey to create collaboratively with and for her community. This episode is as packed with business gems as it is with context for the necessity of creating space and opportunities for womxn and minorities. Ali shares her personal experience managing risk emotionally, when to outsource, how to create and sustain momentum when building a business, and the process that quickly transforms an idea into reality; while, simultaneously introducing us to the history of women's spaces and the current climate of Richmond's Art District where The Broad is located.
Ali pushes us to acknowledge the importance of becoming comfortable with the uncomfortable conversations regarding race, segregation, and gender disparities to move the city and its economy forward. We consider the difference between being progressive versus being inclusive with regard to the distinction between "RVA" and "Richmond". We discuss how we might create communities without becoming "charismatic cult leaders", and so much more! Tune in now to learn more about Ali's change driving entrepreneurial tactics and what's ahead for The Broad and Richmond, VA.
