This introduction episode covers how this video and podcast series came about, what we are dedicated to, who we feature and who we serve.

This series is passionate about being an ally for an inclusive economy - and to do that, we need enhanced visibility for the resources, business owners and community leaders who make up local business ecosystems. 

We're starting with focusing on the Dallas / Fort Worth Metroplex.
