Today, David is joined by Claudia Scott, Head of Underserved Entrepreneurship at Startup Junkie. She works with any would-be business owners who have historically been underserved, including,  immigrants, single mums, people from the LGBTQ community, those with criminal convictions and others.

Claudia explains how this is done and how to use KIVA to secure funding. She also shares her journey, including how she ensured that Tourettes, OCD and anxiety did not stop her.

To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice and convert your ideas into impact book a discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Claudia works with anyone who has been historically underserved.
There is a lot of support and plenty of people to pitch to.
When you have an idea clearly define what it is and what it achieves/solves.
Once you are 100% clear on what it is, work out if it is viable. Do lots of research and be brutally honest.
Initially, keep your day job and scale gradually.
Don´t let disability hold you back.
Don´t be too fast to judge. Give people more grace, very few people are truly mean.
Start networking before you set up your business.

BEST MOMENTS

“What will get you a deal, help, or the capital is you sitting down and knowing your business and being able to talk about it.”

“Think of all the things that can make your idea unsuccessful, if you still see the market, then full steam ahead.”

“I wouldn't say I have encountered people that are just downright mean, they just don't know, they're ignorant.”

ABOUT THE SHOW

People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far, we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.
