On this episode, I had the chance to talk with Stephanie Stuckey, who I’ve admired for quite some time and was dying to get a chance to learn more about. We discuss the history of her company (Stuckey’s), of course, her entrepreneurial journey, her goal of ‘reviving the road trip’, advice for entrepreneurs who start later in their career, and so much more.

In this episode, I talk about my favorite books from 2021, in which I read 56 books (my personal record). I was surprised by how many books I had ranked 5-stars, but after looking through them, they were all superb. I also wrote about them on my blog.

I’m so excited to share this podcast episode with you because I get a chance to talk to Adam Albrecht about his new book, What Does Your Fortune Cookie Say? Adam is the Founder and CEO of the ad agency, The Weaponry, and his book is seriously fantastic. It’s inspiring, insightful, motivating, and so funny. It’s made up of 80 mini-chapters of advice that Adam has learned over his life and entrepreneurial journey. And after listening to this interview with Adam, I know you’ll want to pick up a copy.

On this episode, I’m joined by my friend, Shannon Watkins, the CMO and “Chief Duck Handler” at Aflac. Shannon and I were first introduced when we were forming The A Pledge, a nonprofit we co-founded in 2020 to fight for racial equity in the advertising and marketing community. We talk about her incredibly impressive journey, how, as a black female, she navigated through her career, and the good she is able to do at Aflac and through The A Pledge. I’m quite certain her words will inspire you the way they always do for me.

This is a very special episode as I talk with my good friend and one of my favorite Atlanta business leaders, Kenji Kuramoto, about his family’s experience with the Japanese internment camps of the 1940s. His generosity and vulnerability in sharing this with me was so powerful, and I just know you’ll appreciate the stories he shares.
