EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Black Businesses Matter, I speak with Chris Wilson, the President of Legacy Franchise Ventures. Legacy Franchise Ventures (LFV) is a full-service franchise consulting and development firm that helps others identify and research franchise opportunities that present a true opportunity for success for their clients and their target markets. Chris details how he got his start in franchising. After being laid off, he realized the importance of multiple strands of income and began to foster a passion for franchising that began at the ripe age of 14. He did the research, found one that worked, and got that franchise up and running.

Chirs emphasizes the benefits of franchising. When you invest in a franchise you invent a proven model allowing you to take some of the guesswork out of owning a business. He also speaks to the community that is built through investing in a franchise because others franchisees that have taken those steps can aid you in your journey. Chirs also highlights the diversity in the types of businesses you can invest in and open as a franchisee. There is more than just fast food.

If you are interested in learning more about the process of franchising and its benefits this is the episode for you.

Chris offers complimentary franchise consultations to folks looking to invest in a franchise but are not quite sure where/how to start. Chris also offers the same for business owners who are thinking about franchising an existing business.

Episode 38

Guest Name: Mecca Perry

Guest Business: Mecca Elevated

Summary Style

EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Black Businesses Matter, I speak with Mecca Perry, whom I have had a 20+ year relationship with. Mecca is a Sound Meditation Facilitator and the owner of Elevated Mediation Studio in the heart of Chicago. She details her journey from a PR professional to an event production specialist to a sound practitioner. Mecca speaks to the importance of sound meditation in improving your relationship with yourself. Sound meditation utilizes sound to heal and water as the vessel. This healing can aid in feeling more grounded and secure within yourself.

Mecca also speaks to the nature of the sound healing industry, and the importance of representation within it because it is white male dominated which limits its reach.

If you are looking to improve your relationship with yourself and to find a new way to heal this is the episode for you.
If you are committed to your own healing, check out Mecca’s Elevated Sound Energy Healing Series linked below.

IN THIS EPISODE, I TALK ABOUT...

How can a sound meditation session support thought leaders and professionals?
How do we build a relationship with ourselves?
Why do black businesses matter?

Guest Name: Cheryl Hudson Jackson

Guest Business: YWCA CHJ Consulting

Summary Style

EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Black Businesses Matter, I speak with Cheryl Hudson-Jackson, who is the Director of Franchise and Business Enterprise for YWCA Chicago. She is also the owner of CHJ consulting. We discuss the impact that her work at the YWCA has had throughout her career and the importance of community building. Cheryl works with the BreedLove program. A program that aids women entrepreneurs in gaining funding for their businesses. The program also creates this sense of community amongst the women as they navigate “entrepreneur-hood”. She describes her role within the Y and how she helps the women within the breedlove programs stay on track to successes and connect them with other women that can support them.

Cheryl speaks to the importance of always bringing women to the table in order to help level the playing field, a philosophy that she has brought with her throughout her career. She began as a chemical engineer at IIT (Illinois Technical Institute) a field that notably lacks women and because of that experience she made it her business to create a space for women.

If you are interested in learning the importance of building community, this is the episode for you.
