Welcome to another day in the Podathon. This was an impromptu conversation with another entrepreneur. We have an open conversation about the things we hate about working with Black Businesses. Let us know what you think of the episode in the comments below.

In this Podathon episode we're talking about the divide between the perceived intellectual Black collective versus the every day black collective. I use the debacle between Dr. Marc Lamont Hill and Flipp from the Joe Budden Podcast to discuss how different groups within the Black community treat and perceive each other.
