show notes

january 2, 2024

This week, Morgan DeBaun is joined by entrepreneur extraordinaire Courtney Adeleye for a conversation on all things business, from knowing when it's time to sell to exploring different business models for optimal success.

In the episode, Courtney opens up about the unexpected journey of selling her company, The Mane Choice, just six years after its inception. She and Morgan discuss why setting your business up to sell is crucial, even if selling isn't the intended end game.

Courtney also explains why she wasn't overly attached to The Mane Choice when the opportunity to sell arose, despite her passion and commitment to the brand. Morgan and Courtney reflect on the often unsupportive response of the Black community to Black business owners selling, offering insights into why these types of reactions typically occur and how such moves by Black business owners contribute to generational wealth creation within the community.

Moving beyond her past successes, Courtney shares more on her recent venture, Olbali, a direct selling company.

To close out the conversation, Morgan and Courtney underscore the importance of investing time and resources in revenue-generating aspects of business and having a network of support to rely on in the entrepreneurial journey.
