About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
A powerful guide to successful, transformative entrepreneurship for the under-represented from Eric Collins, host of the award-winning Channel 4 reality business show The Money Maker.
At a time when half of Black households in the UK live in persistent poverty—over twice as many as their white counterparts—We Don't Need Permission argues that investing in Black and under-represented entrepreneurs in order to create successful businesses is the surest, fastest socio-economic game-changer there is.
Durable empowerment—from education to health outcomes—is key to solving the multiple problems that result from systemic racism and sexism. And it is the best way to close the inequality gaps that have hampered and continue to hinder Black people and all women too. To address this problem head on, Eric Collins co-founded venture capital firm Impact X Capital to invest in under-represented entrepreneurs in the UK and Europe.
In We Don't Need Permission, Collins identifies 10 key principles of successful entrepreneurship, and reveals how it's possible to change a system that has helped some, while holding others back. The book not only aims to inspire and motivate under-represented people to take their future and economic destiny into their own hands, but will demand of current business leaders and organizations that they do business better.
It's time to stop waiting for someone else to give permission, Collins tells us, and start boldly making the world we want to see.

The statistics around black business in the UK were shocking and saddening. However the author expertly navigates the analysis of these stats and offers concrete solutions and solid business advice for those who wish to build black businesses in the UK and globally.
I thoroughly recommend and I will definitely be reading it again and using it as an ongoing resource in my business endeavours.
