(Ep. 036) It's About Damn Time Unplugged with Arlan Hamilton

Arlan Hamilton shook the tech world when she hopped on the scene in 2015. She took what once used to be the 'good old boys' club and made room for a new group in town by investing in high-potential founders who are people of color, women, and/or LGBT via her company Backstage Capital. Now her life wasn't always rainbows and butterflies (hell she was homeless before this all started). BUT, Arlan uses her hustle mentality and resilience to not only survive, but thrive in the world today. On this episode of Black Tech Unplugged you learn about Arlan's journey to greatness as well as hear some snippets from her new book "It's About Damn Time".
