VISION
Welcome to A Black Executive Perspective — where real stories meet real leadership. Hosted by Tony Franklin, also known as TonyTidbit™, and joined by the insightful Chris P. Reed, this podcast brings you an authentic, unfiltered look at the journey of Black executives navigating Corporate America.
This isn't just a podcast — it's a platform for truth-telling, learning, and community-building. With deep roots in media and advertising, Tony and Chris bring their personal journeys, professional wisdom, and sharp wit to the table in conversations that are equal parts powerful and personal.
Each episode shines a light on the challenges, triumphs, and layered realities Black leaders face in the workplace. From pivotal career moments and the tightrope between authenticity and assimilation, to the lasting impact of ancestral legacy and the dynamics of identity in corporate spaces — no topic is off-limits.
But we don’t stop at the boardroom. You’ll also get a glimpse into the lives of Tony and Chris beyond the titles — the music, the mentorship, the dad life, and everything in between. Through guest interviews, honest anecdotes, and thought-provoking panel discussions, A Black Executive Perspective invites listeners into a space of shared experience and practical inspiration.
Our mission is to empower a community of Black professionals, allies, and advocates ready to lead change — not just in corporate offices, but in neighborhoods and communities across the globe.
