Breakthrough With Barrett Clemmensen Powell

The Old Boys Network operates boldly and with great success in entrepreneurship, especially within tech, bio-tech and getting venture capital. The Old Boys Network has also successfully groomed a younger version of themselves, basically white males, who are commonly called "bropreneurs". These men have excluded women, especially women of color, from their promotional podcasts, their networking, financing and avenues of getting business help and publicity. Women, especially women of color have effectively had the door shut in their face. But the tide is changing. These bropreneurs are now running out of themselves as clients income sources. Their solution? Target women entrepreneurs.

Entrepreneurship takes place in many forms and one of the most exciting new ones for me is taking place in Copenhagen, Denmark. I have spent many years of my life there and recently learned that colleague of mine and her fiance have launched a new addition to Copenhagen's cafe culture. The cafe culture is something that has a special place in this Nordic and Scandinavian harbor city. I met a very special young woman named Vivian Vadkerti, a student and Hungarian immigrant  to Denmark, while I was working as a bartender and barista at an international cafe. Now, she is one of two owners of a new cafe that is bringing the warmth of Danish culture to the city in a prime spot. ~ Barrett Clemmensen Powell  Join your host Barrett Clemmensen Powell, in reminiscing about Copenhagen and talking with the entrepreneurs who have opened Cafe Hygge.
