JIGGA SET RADIO

Join us as we chat with Ro Strickland, the founder of the Business Lounge in Dallas, a business resource center and event space dedicated to connecting, educating, and supporting entrepreneurs. Since its launch in 2018, the Business Lounge has grown from 900 to 2300 square feet, supporting over 150 businesses. Ro shares the journey of her first business, Live Your Life Fitness and the lessons she learned about the importance of convenience, marketing, and having a thick skin in the world of entrepreneurship.

Ro also opens up about navigating the business world as a powerful woman, discussing the challenges of being overshadowed by men and the importance of having a supportive partner in entrepreneurship. We also explore her experience balancing marriage and entrepreneurship, and the importance of understanding the legal implications of divorce when you're a business owner. Listen in as Ro shares her inspiring journey and valuable insights for entrepreneurs of all backgrounds.

Join us for a special edition of JSR, where we turn the tables and put our very own Jaremy Lee Turner in the hot seat! As a serial entrepreneur, visionary, influencer, and server provider, Jaremy shares his journey and his mantra of 'paying it forward', emphasizing the importance of having a circle of support around you and the power of helping each other up the mountain. We also discuss how the African American community can benefit from adopting this concept into their culture.

We explore the conversation of oppression and lifting each other up, examining how education and being open to learning can help us understand the world and how to apply it to our lives. We look at the idea of life as a university, and how our choices can determine if we graduate or drop out. Listen in as we end with the reminder that as long as we are open to learning, we will never truly graduate from life.

We also discuss the impact of divorce and its effects on the family, the power of therapy and how it can help with healing, and the stigma of therapy in the Black community. Jaremy shares his unique story of coming out and the power of family support, as well as the importance of seeking help and the power of letting go of what no longer serves us. Tune in to this insightful and heartfelt conversation, and let's grow together.
