Welcome back to another exciting episode of the podcast! Today, we're diving into a particularly sensitive area, discussing the three topics you should generally avoid in business: politics, religion, and sex. These subjects can be highly divisive and have the potential to disrupt professional relationships and business dealings. We'll explore why it's usually best to steer clear of these topics to maintain harmony and focus on business objectives.

Additionally, we're touching on the notion of support within the business context, especially within the black community. A recurring issue is the expectation of discounts as a form of support, which can sometimes feel more like manipulation or even emotional blackmail. We'll discuss how true support should look and the impacts of these expectations on business owners.

Join us as we unpack these complex topics and consider how we can foster a more supportive and less divisive environment in our professional and personal interactions.

In this episode, the hosts delve into the intricacies of success and how it impacts personal relationships. Inspired by Joyner Lucas's powerful music video, the conversation explores the theme of how success can sometimes isolate individuals from their close circles.

This leads to a broader conversation about the delicate balance between helping others and maintaining personal boundaries to avoid dependency.

Throughout the episode, the hosts emphasize the importance of genuine support among friends and the dangers of envy and entitlement that can emerge with success. They also touch on the necessity for clear communication in relationships to manage expectations effectively and avoid misunderstandings that can lead to resentment.
