April Human Performance Forum | Future of Entrepreneurship
/If you missed our April event you missed a truly timely and important conversation about the future of entrepreneurship.
Hosts Jean-Paul O'Brien (CEO/Managing Director of Black Lab Sports) and Cody Burkhart (Robotics/Human Performance/Neuroscience/NASA) lead an interactive conversation with authors of The New Builders, Seth Levine, and Elizabeth MacBride. Along with the Authors we had the opportunity to speak with two new builders who shared their insights and stories with our audience.
In their book, The New Builders, Levine and MacBride argue that the future of American entrepreneurship will rely on the success of women, black and brown entrepreneurs but we have yet to recognize the identities of these New Builders or develop strategies to support them.
