Ep. 96: Hydration With A Purpose With the Co-Founders of Blacc Bottle

Join Ramon and the flight crew as they sit down with the co-founders of Blacc Bottle, Necas Collins and Ralph White.  Collins and White started out as work colleagues and through their shared passion and values, their relationship extended beyond the corporate playground.  Recognizing a need for financial literacy in the community, Collins and White started a podcast and their passion overflowed into the creation of Blacc Bottle, the first premium black-owned water bottle company.  When Necas migrated from Jamaica to the United States on a Soccer scholarship his hunger for business drove him to pursue an MBA double major in Finance & Analytics Intelligence.  Collins did the heavy lifting for the idea of a stainless steel, purpose driven water bottle company during his Masters program at the University of Bridgeport and stacked up a few awards along his journey.  Before the crew launched into this week's Mission, they tackled an old debate: who’s the GOAT Jordan or Lebron?
