From Idea to Impact: Building a Consulting Business That Serves Communities

On this week’s Inner Circle Podcast Business & Finance Segment, hosts Abe Kamara and Ms. B sit down with Ose Sesay, founder of Push Strategist™ LLC and Push for Prosperity, for an engaging and inspiring conversation about entrepreneurship, impact, and community leadership.Under the theme “From Idea to Impact: Building a Consulting Business That Serves Communities,” Ose shares her journey of building a mission-driven consulting firm that partners with cities, nonprofits, and public agencies to strengthen leadership, improve community engagement, and remove barriers to opportunity.She also discusses the unique balance of operating in two lanes — running a for-profit consulting business that secures government contracts while leading a nonprofit organization supported by grants from the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) to expand economic opportunities in the community.Throughout the conversation, Ose drops powerful insights for entrepreneurs, including her memorable mindset shift:“Don’t fake it till you make it… faith it till you make it.”This episode is a powerful reminder that success is built on vision, persistence, and faith in the mission, as we continue to amplify, empower, and elevate voices making a difference in our communities.
