In this episode of A Black Executive Perspective, host Tony Tidbit sits down with Anthony Price for a robust conversation on entrepreneurship, ownership, and business growth. Together, they unpack the critical difference between entrepreneurs and small business owners, highlighting why mindset, access to information, and continuous personal development are essential for long-term success. Drawing from his own journey as a publisher and author, Anthony shares lessons from building Connecticut Hoops Magazine and writing Get the Loot and Run. He offers candid insights into the barriers Black entrepreneurs face — from limited networks to a lack of financial literacy — and why perseverance, vision, and storytelling remain non-negotiable tools for success.
