Entrepreneurial AppetiteAuthor: Langston Clark
Entrepreneurial Appetite is a series of events dedicated to building community, promoting intellectualism, and supporting Black businesses. This podcast will feature edited versions of Entrepreneurial Appetites Black book discussions, including live conversations between a virtual audience, authors, and Black entrepreneurs. In this community, we do not limit what it means to be an intellectual or entrepreneur. We recognize that the sisters and brothers who own and work in beauty salons or barbershops are intellectuals just as much as sisters and brothers who teach and research at universities. This podcast is unique because, as part of this community, you have the opportunity to participate in our monthly book discussion, suggest the book to be discussed, or even lead the conversation between the author and our community of intellectuals and entrepreneurs. For more information about participating in our monthly discussions, please follow Entrepreneurial_ Appetite on Instagram and Twitter. Please consider supporting the show as one of our Founding 55 patrons. For five dollars a month, you can access our live monthly conversations.

Pioneering Sports Social Work: Dr. Emmett Gill on Mental Health, Athlete Talk, and the Future of College Athletics (Part 2)
Episode 8
Monday, 27 April, 2026
What happens when you lose a job with one minute's notice — and use that moment to build something entirely new?In part two of our conversation with Dr. Emmett Gill, founder of Athlete Talks and pioneer in sports social work, we go deep on the entrepreneurial grind of building a mental health app from the ground up during Covid, the brutal reality that only 15–20% of athletes who need mental health services actually seek them, and how Dr. Gill is thinking about reaching the other 80%.We also get into the seismic shifts reshaping college athletics — rev share, NIL, conference realignment, the shrinking of non-revenue sports — and what student athletes need to understand right now to position themselves for what's coming. Dr. Gill doesn't hold back on the hard truths: which sports he believes won't survive, why the dream of Black athletes returning to HBCUs may have passed, and why youth sports is where the real opportunity lies for the next generation of sports professionals.Plus, Dr. Gill shares his plans for growing Athlete Talks in 2026, his push to trademark the credential "Sports SW," and why relationships — not just hustle — are the foundation of sustainable entrepreneurship.This one is layered.
