Financial Motivator: Insights on Supporting and Scaling Black Businesses with Morehouse Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center Founding Director Tiffany Bussey.

Financial Motivator: Insights on Supporting and Scaling Black Businesses with Morehouse Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center Founding Director Tiffany Bussey.

Two-time Emmy and three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald, interviewed Dr. Tiffany Bussey. As the Morehouse Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center (MIEC) Founding Director, Dr. Tiffany Bussey stands at the helm of profit-yielding partnerships bridging the gap between the supplier diversity initiatives at global brands and multi-million-dollar Black and brown businesses. An engaging dialogue with Dr. Bussey around the ways MIEC creates unique pathways to help minority businesses scale using what she calls the three Cs: Capital, Connections, and Contracts.

Here are some of the interview highlights:

MIEC's engagement with 400 scalable, mid-size minority-owned businesses has been instrumental in creating 850 new Atlanta-based jobs, granting access to $34 million in new capital, and generating nearly $82 million in new revenue growth.

MIEC's unique business education prepares minority business owners to obtain contracts with large firms seeking business-to-business partnerships with small to mid-size businesses.

Atlanta is one of four national accelerator locations for The Clean Tech Infrastructure Academy at Goodwill, a new 4-week program designed to grow the electric vehicle workforce. At the academy, student workers are paid $15 an hour to learn how to install and maintain EV chargers, heat pumps, and solar panels. This training equips them for jobs in the growing electric vehicle industry, where maintenance techs can start earning $30 per hour.

About MIEC:

· Since its inception, MIEC has garnered over $50 million in grants and contracts and positively impacted over 2,100 students.

· MIEC incorporates a holistic approach to supporting the business leaders it serves, providing education, access to capital, procurement opportunities, mentorship, and student involvement.

· 125 minority-owned businesses participating in Ascend Atlanta have experienced an increase in revenue of $13.5 million and have gained access to $5.5 million in capital funding.

Brand Building:  A former emergency room nurse turned career coach, shares her journey from bedside care to a six-figure business.

Brand Building: A former emergency room nurse turned career coach, shares her journey from bedside care to a six-figure business.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald, interviewed Dr. Farah Laurent. A former emergency room nurse turned entrepreneur and career coach, shares her journey from bedside care to building a six-figure business helping new nurses land high-paying jobs and launch their own ventures. The conversation explores nursing as a lucrative and flexible career path, the importance of mindset, and the power of personal branding. 🔑 Key Points 💼 Career Journey & Motivation Dr. Laurent was inspired by the TV show Trauma: Life in the E.R. to become an emergency nurse. She worked 13 years in ER nursing, including at a Level 1 trauma center in Detroit. Transitioned into education and leadership before launching her coaching business. 💰 Nursing as a High-Income Career New nurses in cities like NYC and Northern California can earn $100K–$175K starting salaries. National average is around $70K, but opportunities vary by region and specialization. Nurse anesthetists can earn $200K–$300K+. “New graduate nurses today… are making baseline at least $100,000, up to $175K.” 🧠 Mindset & Coaching Emphasizes abundance mindset over scarcity. Coaches nurses on resume writing, interview prep, and personal branding. Encourages nurses to invest in themselves through coaching and professional development. “If I can do it, you can do it too. It all starts with an idea and the mindset.” 📈 Entrepreneurship for Nurses Nurses are increasingly turning to consulting, coaching, and telehealth for flexibility. Dr. Laurent founded the Nurses Making Money Moves conference and authored a workbook by the same name. Organized her first conference in just 10 weeks, attracting 70 nurses from 20 states. “You’re using your intellectual property—what you already know—to monetize.” 🌍 Diversity & Representation Advocates for racial, gender, and linguistic diversity in nursing and leadership. Notes that patient outcomes improve when care providers reflect the communities they serve. “We need more diversity in nursing and nursing leadership to close the gaps in healthcare inequalities.” 💡 Advice for New Nurses Get clear on your goals and ideal work environment. Prepare thoroughly for interviews—don’t wing it. Build a strong LinkedIn presence—95% of recruiters check it. Negotiate: Know your worth, research salaries, and pitch your value. “Don’t just settle. Go after what you want.” 🚩 Red Flags in Job Offers Disorganized interview process Unwelcoming management High turnover Rushed job offers without clarity on responsibilities 📣 Closing Quote “Nurses are big problem solvers. Find the problem you want to solve and go for it.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
