If we don’t tackle the structural barriers that affect entrepreneurs and business owners, we are forever leaving money and opportunity on the table. In this conversation with Alpesh Patel, we cover everything from TikTok (Business Insider called him a TikTok sensation), structural racism, entrepreneurship, trading and social mobility.

We talk about how the economic argument to address structural barriers can be useful to convince certain types of people but also the importance of recognising it’s an issue of justice.

Entertaining, humble and very giving in his time and expertise.

You’ll enjoy this one!
