312: How Gia Peppers is Forging Her Own Path In Media
08/10/22 • 55 min
1 Listener
This week in the guest chair we have Gia Peppers, an award-winning on-air talent, entertainment journalist, content creator, and podcaster who is most known for her work as a contributor on NBC's primetime morning show, "Today Show," her nationally syndicated Urban One Radio show and podcast, "More Than That with Gia Peppers," and as 1/5th of the wildly popular podcast, "Black Girl Pod."
She shares with us how with each piece of content she creates or participates in, she hopes to remind everyone that the greatness that inspires us in others also lives in each one of us.
In this episode we discuss:
- How she found a way to do what she loved at a time where there weren’t many opportunities in the entertainment industry
- How her father inspired her love for journalism
- How all of her experiences helped her get to where she is now
- How she taps into the little daily joys of life for happiness rather than focusing so much on the big accomplishments + so much more..

313: How Ericka Chambers is Building Her Brand, Puzzles of Color, While Working Full Time REWIND
Today in the guest chair we have Ericka Chambers, CEO and Co-Founder of Puzzles of Color. Ericka and her brother founded this business in the middle of the pandemic. She used that idle time to really think through something that her and her family has done for years, which is build puzzles together. And the one thing they realized was lacking was puzzles featuring people of color. After unsuccessfully trying to convince other people to launch this business, Ericka and her brother finally realized it was up to them to solve this problem.
In this episode we discuss:
- How they started, how they’re growing, how they’re learning what to delegate
- Working with artists of color to license their pieces and turn them into puzzles
- Juggling the business and parenting while side hustling
And so much more! Check out this episode and others on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Soundcloud, and YouTube
