Episode Summary

It's been a minute since we recorded an episode (hide's face). Call it a hiatus or a quick break, but we're excited to catch up with you! The boys are two, and we're talking about the bad habits they pick up from other kids, finding the right daycare, potty training, and how gentle parenting is wearing us down.

Episode Highlights/Summary

As part 2 of our conversation with Donyale Walton, CEO of the Black Culture staple, Hoop Mobb, we discuss the many sides of being a mompreneur. We cover the ups and downs of juggling motherhood and entrepreneurship and discuss all of the side hustles Donyale had before starting the Hoop Mobb. Donyale shares her approach to hiring (spoiler alert: she hires lots of Black women!) and how she staffs up to ensure her company is legit. Listen in to learn how she grew Hoop Mobb from $500 of monthly revenue to $1.3M by the end of 2021.
