Grateful to be part of the Business Booster Program and to receive a $5,000 investment in Friends and Company.

Thankful for the support, the community, and the opportunity to keep building. Looking ahead to what’s next.

It’s Friday again, and I’m already slowing my pace for my favorite part of the week: Sabbath rest.

Before the week wraps, I wanted to share one of my favorite moments this week: Lunch in the Know with Susan Stephenson, Co-Founder of Independent Bank.

Susan shared how she and her business partner recently reached over a billion dollars in assets, but what stood out most was the story behind the iBank logo. It’s actually a stick figure with serving hands, and the lowercase i represents humility — a reminder that their business is about their clients, not themselves.

It reminded me a lot of the f + co logo and what it stands for too: collaboration, service, and adding value without ego.

From Memphis fields to Wall Street Desk.

Every room, every handshake, every camera angle is parr of a bigger story about what’s possible when you do the work, stay curious, and keep building.

It’s been a journey learning to stand fully in the abilities God gave me. I’m building one of the best creative strategy firms in the world, one that can complete with the best — right here in Memphis.

I want the work that used to go to LA or New York to come to Memphis because Friends and Company, () is here, because we employ and partner with the best knowledge workers and the most creative people in the world. the best ideas don’t just come from big cities, they come from people who care deeply about where they’re from.

Flashback to the 2024 Best in Black Awards.

That night reminded me — this work is part of something way bigger.

Friends and Company partnered with the Tri-State Defender, (), to help bring back a Memphis tradition that celebrates excellence in every form.

At a time when the language around inclusion and recognition keeps evolving, Best in Black isn’t about separation. It’s about standard. About showing up, building, and creating at the highest level. It’s about excellence. It’s a reminder that excellence doesn’t need permission, it simply shows up.

Swipe to see the few photos I managed to grab that night — you’ll spot some of the giants who continue to shape this city.
Tickets for the 2025 Best in Black Awards on Thursday 11/6 at Central Station, (), are now live.

We call this the vibe check.

Every post should earn its spot in the feed.
If it doesn’t teach, move, or connect — it’s just noise.

Ask these four questions before you post.
Because when the story’s right, the strategy writes itself.

Which one do you find hardest to nail? 👇

Not every kind of wealth deposits into a bank. Some deposits are made in therapy. Some on a porch with your people. Some in silence. This is what rich really looks like.
