The Factory at 811 W. Hargett St., 27603 in Raleigh, NC, is a Maker's Space; a co-manufacturing space, a hub for networking, education, and collaboration. This week we sit down with The Factory's founder, Johnny Hackett Jr. (@officialblackdollar on Instagram). He gives us the ins and outs on how the space came to be, what they offer small biz owners, and how this ties in with his other venture, The Black Friday Market, also in downtown Raleigh, NC. Johnny is our first returning guest. And I can almost guarantee, now that Johnny has revealed his TRUE passion, we'll need to come back to continue this story.

We learned a TON on this episode! The first thing we learned is, when Kimberly Winborne invites you to a meeting to discuss ANYTHING, you show up. You show up because she only has her community's best interest at heart. If you consider yourself part of "the community", then she's working for you.   Kimberly's super power is collaboration. We learned how she uses that super power to educate her clients on financial literacy, the financial benefits of insurance, and how to handle debt with her book The Debt Detox. We left this episode charged up, ready to approach things with a new mindset, and with info that helps us do just that.

Welcome to Have You Chased Your Check Today? Season 3, Episode 2!  This episode should be called "Berry Serial Entrepreneur" (pun intended). From throwing and promoting parties, to side-by-side stores in the mall (Triangle Town Center, in Raleigh, NC to be exact), to recreating herself as an independent artist with an authentic story; Berry is on a different level grind than most. With all that being said, it's time y'all meet Berry Nash.

"Necessity is the mother of invention" is a well-known cliche or proverb; the primary driving force for most new inventions is a need.   Kadedra Michelle's father has dementia.

Needing results for her father, Kadedra couldn't afford to get lost in an endless search.   She returned with solutions for not only her father but all of us. The idea she came back with would grow to become @houseplantgoods, a suite of fresh pressed juices good for your 'inner house'.   Kadedra is doing everything she can for her father. Meanwhile, she's giving us all the opportunity to do the same for ourselves.   Tap in with @HousePlantGoods on Instagram...Right after you enjoy this episode, that is.
