I Don't Do Budgets.

Roosevelt Thomas III has always had a strong love for fashion and pushing the limits when it comes to what he wears. In today's episode of I Don't Do Budgets, we're talking about what it really takes to run an online apparel business -- the good, the bad, and everything in between.

I don't know where I would be without this one… all of the things that I've accomplished couldn't have been possible without my mama! I've learned so much from her; both good and bad habits. In this episode, I sit down with her to talk about how she helped contribute to what I've learned about money!

From becoming a mother early in life to unlearning some habits she learned from her own parents, my mama shared so many interesting things that helped shape her into the person she is today.

Hope you enjoy the episode -- and remember to call YOUR mama this Sunday!

You've probably heard about the power of Facebook and Instagram ads before, but if you're like me, you probably still have questions about if running them is right for you. In this episode, I sat down with Abu Fofanah, a digital strategist who was able to tell us everything we need to know.

Abu Fofanah is a digital strategist and entrepreneur. He is the CEO of a digital marketing agency called House of Fofanah, which is aimed at developing technology focused solutions to help the brands and influencers monetize their online communities. Abu has also worked alongside some of the world's most recognizable Fortune 100 and 500 companies around the world helping them transform their business.

His most recent venture is called Power Your Launch, which is a virtual marketing accelerator aimed to help entrepreneurs and small business owners bootstrap their businesses by utilizing social media and their online presence as a monetization tool.

This was SUCH an informative interview for me, and I can't wait to hear what you all thought of it!

On today's episode, I'm sharing everything you need to know about high-yield savings accounts: the good, the bad, and why you NEED to have one. High-yield savings accounts typically pay a higher interest rate than traditional savings accounts and almost ALWAYS offer better returns than checking accounts… but that doesn't mean that they don't have some drawbacks!

Also, I wanted to send a big thank you to everyone who has been listening to I Don't Do Budgets so far! We hit a big milestone that I discuss in today's episode. Be sure to review the show on iTunes and tag me on Instagram if you enjoyed it!

If you're a business owner, or are thinking about becoming one, you've probably thought about trademarking your name at some point. But is it worth the expense? For this episode, I sat down with Jordan Franklin, a practicing attorney who specializes in Trademark and Copyright Law.

Jordan is a native Houstonian that received a B.A. in Philosophy from Baylor University and a J.D. from The Southern University Law Center. She believes in the importance of protecting your brand and has found a love in working with all types of start-ups as well as fashion/apparel brands.

She is passionate about educating her clientele as much as she is passionate about advocating for and serving them. Despite being SUPER professional, at the end of the day, she is just a young, ambitious black girl trying to shatter glass ceilings and make a name for herself.

I LOVED talking to Jordan and can't wait to hear what you all thought of this episode. Enjoy!
