https://mindyourbizexpert.com/ – In this episode of Mind Your Business, host Max Fortune sits down with Melvin M. Coleman, President & CEO of the Atlanta Black Chambers (ABC), to explore “Building Black Enterprises Through Chamber Infrastructure.” Coleman leads an organization of 1,200+ entrepreneurs focused on building competitive, profitable, and sustainable Black‑owned companies—powered by 12 industry committees, 5 affinity groups, and two special initiatives—and under his leadership the ABC earned 2024–2025 Chamber of the Year from the U.S. Black Chambers.

Melvin breaks down the shift from short‑term hustling to true ownership and control—moving from solo effort to institution with systems, governance, and teams. Drawing on his experience as founder and chief portfolio strategist of EWM Group and 20+ years as a registered representative, he shares capital readiness and structured business credit strategies that strengthen negotiation power and position ventures for sustainable scale.

“This is why strategic alignment matters. The Atlanta Black Chambers and Get Biz Credit are now official partners, offering a complimentary membership benefit to ABC members to strengthen capital readiness and structural positioning.” From there, the conversation moves into asset protection, risk management, and succession planning—what durable enterprise control looks like in practice—alongside insights from Coleman’s broader coalition work as president emeritus of the Georgia Coalition of Black Chambers.
