175: REWIND: Meet Janice Bryant Howroyd: The first African American Woman To Run A $1-Billion Business
Today\u2019s episode is a REWIND episode with Janice Bryant Howroyd, the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of The ACT-1 Group, the largest privately held, woman-owned workforce solutions company founded in the U.S. I love this episode because Janice exudes confidence, energy, and just makes you want to walk into a room and take up space.\xa0 As Auntie Janice (as I now refer to her in my head) likes to say, \u201cknowledge married to experience breeds confidence.\u201d When you have the experience and knowledge you must own that confidence. I listened to this episode twice as I was riding to the Today Show for my appearance in August 2018, and it really did give me confidence.\xa0 I often re-listen to this episode whenever I\u2019m nervous about rising to a new level in my business.\xa0 I\u2019m excited for you to hear Janice share how she became the first African American woman to operate a company that generates more than $1 billion in annual revenue.
