  • 9. Aerials, Double Layouts and a Pivot with Heather Helms

    A few days before Thanksgiving, Kris and Ru were able to speak with multi-talented entrepreneur Heather Helms about her journey and passion for mentoring female entrepreneurs with their businesses.  Coming off a whirlwind of life-altering milestones, Heather shares her experiences of coaching gymnastics to moving off the floor into a general manager role, becoming a new mom, and discovering/developing her superpowers along the way to entrepreneurship. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much we did.

  • 7. Write Into a Renaissance with Darren Griffin
    What up tho, peeps! For our first ever LVLS "in-studio" guest, we got the opportunity and pleasure to chop it up with Writer/Investor/Advisory Board Member, Darren Griffin, in candid conversation reminiscent of dialogue almost exclusively exchanged within the safe-haven of the barbershop.
    Darren is both inspiringly thoughtful and sincere on topics ranging from cancel culture, Popeye’s Chicken, to the shedding of one's societal beliefs misbestowed upon black men. Darren's candor certainly helped create a moment that we all might agree was refreshingly therapeutic.

  • 6. LVLS Accelerated: Hussle & Motivate

    We felt it necessary to sprinkle in short 10-20 minute episodes under a new format titled 'LVLS Accelerated.'

    Clocking in at 12 mins., EP. 6 was inspired in part by countless conversations with people within our circle and namely the late rapper, entrepreneur, and community activist Nipsey Hussle. The episodes intro music is a snippet of "Hussle & Motivate," from the 2018 Grammy-nominated best rap album 'Victory Lap.'
