This week, J.J. and Shayna do the delicate dance of cautious celebration about Tyler Perry Studios, lament over what the Amber verdict says about the value placed on black life, and remember the importance of supporting our girls + Our guest, Joey Womack, Founder/CEO of Goodie Nation, breaks down the math behind his goal to help 1 billion people by 2039 and directs us on how to find our purpose (and avoid pauper status while doing it).

Interview Themes: Social Impact, Empathy, Investors, Networking, Tech Startups, Ecosystems, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Self-care, Purpose, Black Founders, Burnout
