Author Chat with John Bamforth and Roy Zwahlen

Unleashing the Power of Entrepreneurship For Everyone

Innovation does not have to be a zero-sum game. A high tide of new ideas and ingenuity raises all ships. However, entrepreneurship and innovation spaces have traditionally been dominated by majority groups, despite the reality that for thousands of years, innovators from diverse communities have changed the world for the better. Join authors Roy Zwahlen and John Bamforth as they discuss their book Race to Innovation: Unleasing the Power of Entrepreneurship for Everyone, and share some of these innovators’ stories and chat about their recent book, which is grounded in the reality that as a society we can do much better.

“Race to Innovation is more than a book about business, it’s a call to action. At a time when America faces a growing innovation deficit, this powerful work challenges us to confront the systemic barriers that keep too many people, especially Black entrepreneurs, locked out of opportunity. Let this book inspire you to think differently, lead boldly, and invest in the brilliance that exists in every corner of our society.” - William Heath, Former Group VP at Eli Lilly and Chief Scientific Officer, Persephoni BioPartners
