Dear BLK CEO PodcastHost
May. 2021 - Jun. 2025If you’re feeling handcuffed by the old perception of success and working hard to fit in at your corporate job in order to maintain a sense of security, and barely making 6 figures after tax with not much to show for your work, then you’re in the right place. Welcome to the Dear BLK CEO Podcast! It's the only show committed to helping you re-define yourself by your gift instead of your job title, so you can can create ownership and time freedom on your own terms. Listen in on conversations with successful black executives, entrepreneurs, and founders every week as we de-construct their best strategies for successfully breaking the handcuffs of a corporate job, and transitioning to running a business of their dreams. So get ready to ditch the pressure of trying to fit into a mold of what it means to be successful, and step into using your gift un-apologetically with your Host, Karl Sona
