How black business can change our world: Progress & Success with Eric Collins

In this episode from 2022, Adrienne sits down with the incredible Eric Collins.


Eric is an American businessman, serial entrepreneur, technology expert, former President Obama appointee. He is the CEO and co-founder of Impact X Capital Partners. Eric's book We Don't Need Permission How Black Business Can Change Our World is out now in stores and online.


In 2011, shortly before making London his home, Eric was appointed by President Obama to the Small Business Administration's Council on Underserved Communities and as an evaluator for White House Fellow applicants. Since then, the FT has placed Eric among the UK's top 100 BAME leaders in technology and he has been included in The Power List as one of the most influential Black people in Britain. Eric has also appeared on Radio 4 and Sky News and in the FT, Fortune, Forbes, Bloomberg, Guardian, The Times and Sunday Times and hosts Channel 4's award-winning business reality series, The Money Maker.
