Black Entrepreneurs as Investors in Communities

“What have you planted into someone else’s life?”

This is a selfless perspective on entrepreneurship from this episode’s guest. We spend a lot of time at The Corporate Minister focusing on men working in corporate spaces but this time we look at how entrepreneurs can operate in ways that provide a return to the communities they inhabit.

Scriptural Reference: Matthew 25: 14-30 - The Parable of the Talents.

Guest: Mr. Karim Hutson, CEO, Genesis Companies

About the Podcast

The Corporate Minister

The Corporate Minister podcast is a safe space dedicated to the hearts and minds of Professional Men of Color.

Our objective is to speak a word of support, encouragement, and healing to Professional Men of Color, as well as to those who love and support them. We also seek to provide a means for others to understand them -- their hopes, dreams, and challenges – in order to bridge the gaps and create a dialogue.

Our guiding principles in these discussions are the Word of God and the love of Jesus Christ. Our bedrock scripture and the one that underpins all of our work here can be found in Matthew 11:28-29 where it is written:

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.”
