Ep #32

This episode opens with a personal reflection on grief, depression, and losing my mother, including a powerful moment from a military funeral mission for a veteran who lost his life after battling mental health challenges. From there, we dive into two major conversations every entrepreneur should hear. First, we break down Canada’s renewed C$189 million investment in the Black Entrepreneurship Program and what it really means for access to capital, equity, and long-term economic strategy. We explore why programs like this matter, how they were built, and what the data says about the future of Black entrepreneurship. Then we shift into a business strategy deep dive using one of the most misunderstood companies in the world: Costco. Beyond the $1.50 hot dog is a disciplined, powerful system built on memberships, focused inventory, and strategic labor decisions, and there are lessons here every business owner can apply. This episode is about resilience, systems, and strategy, and why money alone doesn’t create success. 🎧 Press play and listen with intention.
