This week on the Pod, we have the vivacious Vivian Kaye, founder of Kinky Curly Yaki, a premium textured hair extension company. Vivian's journey to entrepreneurship started as a side hustle and grew into what's now a 7 figure business, all while being a single mom, bootstrapping her way to the top. Vivian shares so much insight with us on what it means to have "the Chadacity", how to get going (*hint* the answer is to just GO) and how she makes the best of tough situations. Make sure to follow Vivian on Instagram, we PROMISE you won't regret it.

We've got another episode with the OG trio this week where we talk to you about how the heck to get going on that thing you've maybe been pushing off. We talk about how to get that side hustle off the ground, how to fail faster and some of the things that have helped each of us take the steps needed to get going.

We know we're a bit late on this topic, Cowe's, but BUCKLE UP because we get into it on the Derrick Jaxn controversy. If you haven't heard about this, you can watch the video here or read this post to get brought up to speed on what we are talking about. We get real on this episode and spill all the tea on some of the experiences we've had with cheaters and why men like Derrick Jaxn seem to benefit from salacious and toxic behaviour.

Here's a link to the Shan Boodram video we mention where she talks about making sure we have "Blank Pages". Make sure to follow us @cocoandcowe and check out our blog www.cocoandcowe.com. You can follow Cleo and Pilar on Instagram too!

This week we sit down with our fellow Jamaican, Chef Craig Wong, Founder of Patois and Bar Mignonette to talk about how he's kept his businesses afloat through COVID, how becoming a father has made him a more patient and better man, and what inspires him to keep cooking and dreaming big. We also look at the nuance that comes with being of Jamaican-Chinese heritage in the midst of #StopAsianHate and #BlackLivesMatter and how we can all do better spreading love and keeping the

vibes positive.
