Hannah. We discuss John’s vision he had for himself and his journey as a juvenile probation officer to becoming a large impacting lead pastor. We talk about how the start of Covid became an obstacle for black-owned businesses and how it became a test to reveal those who are resilient, where we get to the question “what do I do next? Because doing nothing is NOT an option”. John explains the level of pivot that needed to happen for many of us to thrive. We also talk about the necessity of having multiple streams of income and not relying on the church as a main source of income. We go deep into the responsibilities of black faith leaders employing black-owned businesses and assisting the community and black culture. Lastly, we get to ask John about the necessity of branding businesses as faith-based, and what brings John Hannah joy.IN THIS EPISODE, I TALK ABOUT…John’s journey from being a juvenile probation officer to entrepreneur turned executive pastor Covid’s impact on black-owned businesses The necessity of having multiple streams of incomeThe necessary pivot that Covid providedResponsibilities of black faith leadersWhy does black culture matter?Why do black businesses matter?
