On this episode, I chat with the creative entrepreneur behind Hawkins-Bucklew jewelry design. I try to understand the thought process of how she creates, prices, and markets her jewelry.

On this episode, I get to peek behind the curtains of the firm building the League of Rebels App. Over the past couple months i’ve been closely working with Sterling and his team, as they develop and test our forthcoming app. So, I was quite excited to dig in with the man himself, to understand his journey in entrepreneurship, the path for Sandbox Commerce specifically, and also the business model and domination plans.

We circle back around with Brandon Thurman and Ibrahim Dikko of ROOG, to discuss how current trends have taken off with the concept for their app pre-launch.

What exactly is ROOG doing to ensure they can either catch and harness this minority business shopping support wave, or get their product out in time, or get shoppers and small businesses alike to know of their coming..

I sit down for a chat with Lisa & Liz Sikora; the most lovely mother-daughter team pushing the bar in MTO women’s formal clothing. Amberleaf, the multi-generational design centered brand caters to women of all ages, sizes, shapes, and color. In this episode, I get to explore not just the working dynamics between the Mother/Daughter team, but also how they manage their production team in Chengdu, China, the business model, how COVID affected their operations, and also how they’ve since pivoted as a result.

Future plans for the Amberleaf brand, and if they’ll be enrolling Liz’s new born into the company anytime soon.
