Hello Dreamers... 

Another Sunday gone and what a day to run it back with a returning guest to the show,  ThriftLorde$!!! 

Last time we talked with Tobes, he was preparing to launch a couple events before the end of the summer. I figured, since he made the announcement on the pod, might as well bring him back for an update on the shop and how life is going.

We discuss an array of things including his interesting encounter with cops at 2am, his NY trip for Pop Up events all throughout the city, and his recent block party at the store. It was definitely fun chopping it up again with a local shop from my hometown. Please give them a follow below and check out their merch!!!

Imaging growing up and either thinking, assuming, or flat out being told that you are only qualified for certain jobs, and not in leadership roles. For many minorities, that's a given. But Nicole Conley had a mentor who challenged her to challenge the status quo- and she did! Conley blazed a trail, becoming the CFO for the Austin school system, and she's now applying her expertise in the public sector to transform the private sector's impact investing. In this episode, ABJ Managing Editor Will Anderson invites Conley to share her empowering success story.

Our cover figure in the brand new issue of SUCCESS, on newsstands everywhere Feb. 2, is none other than Daymond John. Before becoming a star investor on Shark Tank, John founded FUBU, the breakout apparel company that made his fortune and earned him the status of superstar entrepreneur. These days he's committed to helping create more FUBUs through projects like “Black Entrepreneurs Day,” in which 10 Black-owned businesses were selected to each receive a $25,000 grant and a one-on-one mentoring session with Daymond himself. In this conversation with Kindra Hall, he shared how purpose drives him forward. The SUCCESS Stories podcast takes you behind the scenes with the most successful authors, speakers, athletes, entrepreneurs, and other high achievers.

As an entrepreneur we have a habit of letting are service slip as our business grows. In this episode we go over how to still cater to our customers needs while our business grows. Remember, recurring customers are better than customers that only buys from us once.
