Description

Episode SummaryThis week I sit down with Yusra Mohamud live and in person! Yusra shares her story growing up in Minneapolis, how she got her start in community outreach, and what led her to start her own consultancy business, Yuspire Consulting, to help small businesses succeed. Yusra is also a member of the Lake Street Council in Minneapolis and was an integral part of helping with the rebuilding of the community after the events of June 2020. Yusra's commitment to our community is also shown through her podcast and YouTube channel, Eat & Talk MN. She and her co-founder, Gilbert, wanted to create a space to share local stories from "unsung heroes". When she isn't helping grow and build her local community, Yusra also loves to travel and spend time with her son. She shares with us her recent experience traveling to Turkey and Saudi Arabia, and why traveling and experiencing the world for yourself is so important.In this episode you’ll learn:0:52 Ready to finally take that idea and turn it into a business?
