Welcome back to Business Friends: The Official Co-Space Podcast, where we turn our group chat into real conversations about business, culture, and life.

In this episode, inspired by "Flicka Da Wrist" by Chedda Da Connect, we're talking about the power of a simple motion and how the right business can turn it into impact, income, and transformation.

From content creation to controlled chaos, this conversation explores how a "flick of the wrist" can become art, self-expression, confidence, and even release. One business helps people find their voice and tell their stories at a high level, while the other creates space for people to physically let go, break things, and walk away lighter.

We get into the business of storytelling, the value of high-quality production, and why making things look and feel good actually matters. We also talk about experiential businesses, emotional release, and how "fun" can be a real, strategic, high-margin offering when done right.

We kick things off with What's on Your Spirit?, tapping into what's been shaping our guests behind the scenes. In The Culture Corner, we talk about how people are craving new ways to express themselves, whether that's through content or experience. And in The Group Chat, we get real about monetizing creativity, building something people feel, and creating spaces that people want to come back to.

Pulling up to the table for this episode are:

• Guil Dormeus, podcast producer, photographer
• Christina Brown, founder of The Breakroom Miami

If you're building a brand around creativity, expression, or experience and want to understand how to turn simple moments into something impactful, this episode is for you.

Episode 8: Sweet Thing

Episode 8: Sweet Thing Welcome back to Business Friends: The Official Co-Space Podcast, where we turn our group chat into real conversations about business, culture, and life.

In this episode, inspired by "Sweet Thing" by Chaka Khan, we're talking about the art of taking something simple and turning it into something special. From tea to honey, our guests have taken everyday products and transformed them into differentiated brands by infusing creativity, culture, story, and vision. This conversation is about more than what's in the jar or the cup. It's about positioning, presentation, storytelling, and building a brand that feels intentional from the inside out.

We explore how to create "surprise and delight" moments for your customers, how to stand out in markets that feel saturated, and what it looks like to unapologetically carve your own lane. We also get into the realities of product-based businesses, educating your audience, and building something you are genuinely passionate about.

We kick things off with What's on Your Spirit?, checking in on what's been shaping our guests as founders. In The Culture Corner, we talk about how consumer tastes are evolving and why experience matters just as much as the product itself. And in The Group Chat, we get real about branding, pricing, and creating products people come back for.

Pulling up to the table for this episode are:

-Janee Sheffield, founder of UpperTea

- Makuyo, founder of Siika Herb + Honey Co

Welcome back to Business Friends: The Official Co-Space Podcast, where we turn our group chat into real conversations about business, culture, and life.

In this episode, inspired by "Vivrant Thing" by Q-Tip, we're talking about energy, alignment, and what it looks like to build a business that literally brings people back to life.

We get into how wellness shows up in entrepreneurship, why feeling good is a strategy, and how helping people reconnect to their bodies, confidence, and vitality can be both purpose-driven and profitable. We talk about the connection between physical wellness, sensuality, self-awareness, and showing up fully in your work.

We also explore what it means to create experiences that wake people up, from healing dry, depleted skin to helping women tap back into their sensuality and power, and how being deeply rooted in your own transformation makes your brand more magnetic.

We kick things off with What's on Your Spirit?, checking in on what's been lighting our guests up lately. In The Culture Corner, we talk about how wellness is being marketed, misunderstood, and reclaimed. And in The Group Chat, we get real about building trust-based brands, standing out in saturated wellness spaces, and staying aligned as you grow.

Pulling up to the table with me for this episode are:
