I’m really excited to host my guest today. She is quickly becoming a superstar in the local fashion scene. she’s a TedX speaker, serves on multiple boards for local organizations, and she is the founder of The Lush Bazaar, a socially conscious couture fashion boutique that empowers artisans in various countries to provide for their families by paying fair living wages for their handmade designs. She is none other than Timbrel Chyatee. I know you all will enjoy hearing her story, be inspired, and learn a thing or two along the way.

I really enjoyed this conversation with my good friend and business partner in real estate investing, the co-founder of Tier One Trading, recognized by Forbes magazine as a leader in FOREX trading education, podcaster extraordinaire, YouTube sensation, and social media influencer - THE Akil Stokes. Akil shares his thoughts on the importance of fatherhood, mentorship, and why he believes people fail in business. Give it a listen!

In episode 2, Tannon Herman from Wildheart Ministries shares a little bit about their story and how they overcame some obstacles on their way to becoming an impactful community organization. He also drops some great insight on your mindset for preparing to start your new "thing" by defining what commitment and success look like for you before you start and making your goals and ideas real by simply writing them down! A great listen!

Really excited to finally get this project off the ground! In this initial episode, I'll just fill you in on who I am, where I've been, and where we're headed. In The Associates podcast, my hope is to inspire you to collaborate, be creative, and take action on your ideas and dreams.
