Culture and Community #nationalblackbusinessmonth Roughly two-thirds of Black owners (66%) are under 40, whereas roughly two-thirds of non-Black owners (63%) are over 40. This age gap is driven by an explosion in Black entrepreneurs between 18 and 29, who make up twice the share of business owners as their non-Black counterparts. Forbes, 2023 At Pittsburgh Yards, we believe in the power of community. We know that when we work together, we can achieve much more than we could alone. That's why we've created a place where people from all walks of life come together to build something extraordinary—where people can flourish and succeed together. Our location—next to the Atlanta Beltline Southside Trail—makes it convenient for you to get around town and access other parts of the city. And because we're right off 75/85 highways and close to Hartsfield Jackson Airport, you can travel easier when you need to go out of town for business or pleasure.   Find out more about Pittsburgh Yards and how to apply: https://bit.ly/3Cdh7Hk.  Contact Us – https://bit.ly/3NcIW8O Gallery – https://bit.ly/42hCrWE Events – https://bit.ly/3Ca1ekH 📧 info@pittsburghyards.com  📞 470-890-5030 At #PittsburghYards, we believe in the power of community. #pittsburghyards #pittsburghyardscoworking #pittsburghyardsoffices #atlantacoworking #coworkinglife #coworkinglifepittsburghyards #officelifepittsburghyards #atlantaofficespace #coworkingpittsburghyards #coworkingspacenpuv #coworkingcommunity #officecommunity #coworkingsouthsidebeltline #virtualoffice #coworkinglifestyle #nationalblackbusinessmonth

Imagine a downtown where interesting and beautiful places keep you wanting to walk further, to see more and experience all of the diverse activity that surrounds you; (kinda like the feeling you had the first time you visited City Museum). I envision a place where people would prefer to not have a car when living in or visiting downtown because of how it takes away from the vibrant experience and sense of adventure one gets just from being there. What if we rebuilt downtown to be a fully livable, self-sustaining community that has everything one needs for a happy and healthy life, (like groceries, parks, schools, jobs, etc.) all without ever needing to get into a car? But let's not stop there. What if we built a place that was truly invigorating... a place that daily inspires creativity and sparks the innovative and creative juices waiting to be unlocked in each of our brains? We can use lessons learned from neuroscience to inform how we create such a place that stimulates our neurons. We can even tap into the brain hacks that gaming and social media companies have used to design this place by creating a compulsion loop that: 1. triggers interest, 2. provokes action (i.e., walking one more block, checking out a store/event/piece of art, etc.), 3. provides a variable reward (things change and you never know what you will experience from one day to the next), and 4. entices an investment (time, money, talent, etc.) back into the community so that each resident or visitor can leave their finger print on the place - which then triggers the interest of the next person. Let's not make the mistake of thinking that we need to build back what once was, (i.e., a central business district where people come for their 9-5 and little else). Downtown hitting "rock bottom" is our chance to build something entirely new and different. It's time to think outside the box. Please share your thoughts in the comments below. Let's start a discussion!

The root of crappy leadership is fear. Over eggs, toast, and coffee this morning, Asim and I talked about what it takes to gather a group of people and get them moving toward a positive, unified goal. Clearly one of his strengths because he's done several times in his career, Asim reminded me of the power of understanding the collective benefit of working together when we just decide that's what we're going to do. I saw many examples of bravery, excitement, and success from his experiences. (As a part of our chat, he shared this article from Steve Smith in the St. Louis Business Journal as a response to a The Wall Street Journal article on STL.) These regional issues are the same issues I see within many organizations. They're because a leader and/or group of people are operating from a place of fear. Fear keeps people and organizations not just stagnant, but eventually dry and dusty places where life used to be. What is one practical way you take action to solve problems as a leader? What is the impact you’ve noticed?

We ❤️ this approach! When a business or organization intentionally selects local suppliers, particularly diverse local suppliers, money continues to circulate within our region. What else happens? ⬆️Community Investment increases ⬆️Hiring increases 🔗Supply chains grow more resilient and robust. Everyone wins. At BEAM, we are forging a brighter and more equitable future for local businesses. We are designing new procurement practices based on data science and best practices.

Recently, Blackwood Family Enterprise Services was listed as a multi-family office by Canadian Family Offices. While we are not a family office, we certainly enjoyed the conversation the article sparked and were not the only ones.   So what is a family office? At Blackwood, we focus more on identifying each family office’s needs than on defining them.
