Episode 4: I Got the Keys

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

In this episode, we're tapping into "I Got the Keys" by DJ Khaled, Jay-Z & Future and talking about entrepreneurs who figured it out, self-taught, focused, and bold enough to turn around and bring the community with them. This one is about becoming the plug, opening doors, and understanding the responsibility that comes with having access.

We kick things off with What's on Your Spirit?, checking in on what's been top of mind as our guests continue to grow and lead. Then in The Culture Corner, we talk about access, information-sharing, and why knowledge really is power in today's business landscape. Finally, in The Group Chat, we get into what it looks like to teach what you know, protect your time, and lead without gatekeeping while still honoring your own boundaries.

Pulling up to the table with me for this episode are business friends who've built their expertise from the ground up and now help others do the same. They understand that having the keys isn't just about success, it's about stewardship.

• Tia Doster, Founder of JuiceDefined
• Chef Chrys Salmon, Master Gardner Dunn's Overtown Farm

This episode is for the entrepreneurs who've unlocked the door and decided not to close it behind them.

Episode 3: Beauty Is Her Name

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

In this episode, our theme is based on "Beauty Is Her Name" by Dru Hill and talking about entrepreneurs who understand that aesthetics matter. And not just in a surface-level way, but as a tool. Presentation, branding, and visual storytelling shape perception, credibility, and access, whether we like it or not.

We start with What's on Your Spirit?, checking in on what's been sitting with us personally and professionally. Then in The Culture Corner, we unpack how we live in a visual economy and why how you show up often speaks before you do. Finally, in The Group Chat, we get real about balancing beauty and branding without falling into pressure, perfectionism, or performance, and how substance is what sustains what aesthetics attract.

Pulling up to the table with me for this episode are:
• Kenasha Paul, JD, Founder of Black Professionals Network
• Chanae Lavette Wood, Attorney, Founder of EnVisionMe Conference and ROM8 Wellness

Both guests are lawyers, entrepreneurs, and builders who have created powerful platforms from the ground up, all while understanding how intentional presentation and storytelling can open doors and create opportunity.

This episode is for the entrepreneurs who know that beauty is a strategy, get into it!

Episode 1 (Pilot): Trap Back Jumpin'

Welcome to the very first episode of Business Friends: The Official Co-Space Podcast; where we turn our group chat into real conversations around business, culture, and life.

In this pilot episode, we set the tone with "Trap Back Jumpin'" inspired by T.I.'s lyrics and the very real experience every entrepreneur knows: business comes in waves. Some seasons the trap is jumping… and other times, it's not.

Every episode, we kick things off with What's on Your Spirit?, a check-in on what's been sitting with us lately. Then we head into The Culture Corner, breaking down current economic conversations, money fears, and what it really looks like when the streets feel quiet. Finally, we land in The Group Chat, where we talk honestly about boundaries, energy, and how to stay grounded when momentum slows...and how you know when it's starting to pick back up again.

My Business Friends pulling up to the table with me for this episode are:
• Enoch St. Clair, Owner of St. Clair Financial Services
• Ashley Carter, Founder & Director of EatWell Exchange
• Lisette Tresvant, Owner of Glow Skin Corrective

This episode is for the business owners who've been here before, survived downturns, and know that the trap always jumps back.
