Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How He Built a Marketplace for 500+ Black-Owned Spirits Brands with Charles Everett
Q: What inspired you to start the UrFriendCharles platform in the first place?
The idea grew out of pandemic-era observations when Everett discovered brands through online ads and neighborhood tastings, which highlighted how many Black-owned spirits were under the radar; this inspired him to create a centralized place to showcase and connect consumers with founders and products, not just celebrities, and to make it easy to buy and discover Black-owned brands.
What It Really Takes to Start and Run a Podcast | Lessons Learned w/Kyle Lorde
Q: What was your biggest challenge becoming a host?
The main challenge was overcoming self-doubt and the fear of not being able to carry a conversation or interview guests; once we started, we realized preparation mattered less than showing up and learning in the moment.
The Real Cost of Scaling a Food Product Business w/Ryan Thompson
Q: What have you learned about using third-party marketplaces for growth?
They can drive sales, but you must manage margins by accounting for listing fees, ads, and shipping, and consider the right balance between direct-to-consumer control and broad distribution to maintain brand integrity.
The Real Cost of Scaling a Food Product Business w/Ryan Thompson
Q: How did you approach branding and labeling to stand out on shelves?
I invested time in crafting a distinct label with an out-of-this-world astronaut theme, refined through feedback, trademarked the brand, and ensured the packaging conveyed premium quality and memorability for customers.
Professionalism Has Nothing To Do With What You Wear | Hot Take
Q: How has post-COVID work culture changed attitudes toward color and personal style in professional settings?
The environment opened up more room for individuality, allowing people to experiment with brighter colors and bolder looks without sacrificing credibility, which signals confidence and leadership.
