For NBCUniversal, we launched the company’s first-ever podcast in support of its Open Door initiative: Open Doors: Where Small Businesses Thrive.
Created to champion diverse entrepreneurs, the series provides small business owners with access to the tools, insights, and resources essential for sustainable growth. Hosted by CEO Aaron Walton, the podcast explores the real-world challenges founders face on their path to success.
Each episode spotlights minority-owned businesses, addressing operational hurdles, sharing actionable strategies, and celebrating the wins that define their journeys. The result is a purpose-driven platform designed to elevate underrepresented voices and empower long-term impact.AARON WALTON & LATASHA GILLESPIO
