BBI ‘You're On Mute’ is a new podcast series conceived by the UK’s first Black Business Institute, an organisation which aims to boost prospects for underprivileged Black entrepreneurs, by promoting equivalent access to the UK’s funding structures and essential business networks.
Our hosts June Sarpong, Bianca Miller-Cole and Lord Michael Hastings interview an incredible line-up of leaders, icons and change makers, to ascertain how they balance the importance of commercial performance versus societal impact.
In our first special episode, June speaks to Christo Brand, a man who was originally Nelson Mandela’s Jailer and later became his best friend. He provides unique insights into one of the 20th Century’s few globally celebrated social justice icons.
We will also be in conversation with a range of business leaders and icons, such as Vinod Kumar, CEO of Vodafone’s £10bn business division, Nicholas Coleridge, Chairman of the V&A, Tidjane Thiam Former CEO of Credit Suisse, singer & song writer Emili Sandé and fashion icon Paul Smith.
Covid-19 and the killing of George Floyd have emphasised society's race, class and social equality fault lines, and we’ll be touching on these issues over the course of the series. As we all know, with great power comes huge responsibility, and we look at how those in positions of influence, can use their status as a force for good.
Our time together is broken down into three sections with the guests sharing their favourite piece of music or soundtrack, representing a memorable stage of their life.
