As a business owner, you can't have only one personality.

Some days might need you to be a shark, while some days will require the gentleness of a lamb.

Who better than Baba Kuboye to explain when you need to be a shark or a lamb.
Taking a brand from the Nigerian music scene to the US and building an independent Afrobeats label taught Baba some hard truths about what it takes to succeed in business.

Consider this episode a deep dive on what it takes to successfully scale your business from one market to the other.

Imagine playing video games inside your house while legendary Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti is outside performing with a 50-person entourage!

In this clip, Baba Kuboye reflects on growing up at Jazz 38 in Lagos: a venue that played a pivotal role in the history of Nigerian music. Before heading off to perform at the Shrine, Fela would pull up to Jazz 38 for unforgettable sets, leaving an indelible mark on everyone present (even a young Baba listening from his bedroom!).

Carrying on a legacy this deep is an extraordinary honor.

Until all of us have access to the basic necessities of life, none of us are truly secure. We all deserve fair wages, proper healthcare, and reliable access to food.

In our recent episode of the Black Business Live Podcast, host Tolu Akindunni and guest Regina Harmon (CEO of Food Recovery Network ) dive into what it really means to advocate for our neighborhoods.

We have a lot of work to do, but the solution starts with everyday people using what they already possess. Your voice, your skills, and your talents are exactly what is needed to spark real change. Food Recovery Network is proof that when everyone chips in (in ways big or small) we can turn the tide on inequality.

Let’s stop waiting for outside solutions and start building our storehouses together.

As a small business owner, keeping your overhead low while pouring back into your community is the ultimate goal. That is how we build our storehouses,

In the latest episode of the Black Business Live Podcast, host Tolu Akindunni Akindunni sits down with Regina Harmon (CEO of Food Recovery Network ) to share this unique perspective for small business owners.

Regina drops a gem that food recovery is a literal win-win-win for your events, bank account and community.

When you put a simple recovery plan in place, you instantly see exactly where you are over-ordering so you can stop over-spending on inventory. From there, whatever surplus you do donate turns into a tax write-off. You get money back, your overhead drops, and your neighbors get the fresh meals they deserve.

Let’s stop leaving money (and community resources) on the table.
