What happens when a conversation about an economic gap turns into a movement for change?
In this episode of The City Sculptors Podcast, host Alexis Williams sits down with Brandon Calloway, Founder and CEO of Kansas City G.I.F.T., for a conversation about entrepreneurship, access to capital, and the power of investing in local businesses.
Kansas City G.I.F.T. began with a simple idea: talented Black entrepreneurs already have the vision and drive to build successful businesses, but too often lack access to the funding and resources needed to grow. What started with a Facebook post and a conversation has evolved into an organization bringing people together to invest in Black-owned businesses, create jobs, and expand economic opportunity throughout Kansas City.
Brandon shares the story behind G.I.F.T., his own entrepreneurial journey, and why supporting entrepreneurs can have an impact far beyond one business. The conversation explores what it takes to turn an idea into action, overcome barriers, build sustainable businesses, and use entrepreneurship as a tool to strengthen neighborhoods.
Whether you're an entrepreneur, aspiring business owner, or simply passionate about Kansas City's future, this episode is a reminder of what can happen when we invest in people, ideas, and opportunity.
🎙️ Because when entrepreneurs grow, communities grow with them.
