49:38 Share

This week our special guest is Dr. Evingerlean D. B. Hudson who discusses the topic of overcoming adversity as a first-generation entrepreneur. Dr. Eve is the founder and president of Evingerlean Worldwide®—an entity created to empower first-generation scholars and professionals across the globe. Dr. Eve is committed to being a champion for historically underserved communities, creating safe spaces for growth, making pathways for social mobility, disrupting generational poverty, and building wealth through entrepreneurship.

In this episode we cover: How taking a year off from her higher ed career led Dr. Eve to pursue work as a speaker, which then turned into seven years of a dynamic entrepreneurial career. How she is redefining what a first-gen entrepreneur looks like. The major hurdles she has overcome, including what she did when she lost her business overnight during the pandemic. Demystifying common misconceptions about entrepreneurship. And words of advice for those curious about starting their own business.
