In this season, we're shining a spotlight on the trailblazers in the tech industry, both established veterans and emerging talents, who are pushing the boundaries of innovation. I'm your host, Ceci Fischer-Benitez, and together, we'll explore their successes, understand the challenges they've faced, and dive into the unique experiences that have guided their tech careers.

Join us as we explore the inspiring world of entrepreneurship in underserved communities with Philip Fairweather,  President & CEO of Entrepreneurs Academy. Listen in as Philip shares his personal journey from sports to entrepreneurship, detailing how his experiences led him to establish an academy aimed at equipping aspiring entrepreneurs with the skills and resources they need to thrive. 

We also explore a highly sensitive and significant area—the intersection of entrepreneurship and the criminal justice system. We uncover how entrepreneurship can serve as a beacon of hope for individuals reintegrating into society after incarceration. Philip's advice to budding entrepreneurs, emphasizing the importance of education, preparation, and resilience, is truly invaluable. This episode conveys the transformative power of entrepreneurship and its potential to uplift underserved communities.
