What if whisky didn't make your throat burn? What if, instead, it tasted comforting and slightly sweet, like a candy your grandma might keep in her purse?That's the idea behind Duke & Dame Salted Caramel Flavored Whisky. It's the brainchild of Chima Burey and Amani Macaulay, friends who met in New York and later moved to South Florida to see if their idea had legs.Spoiler alert: It did. The guys launched Duke & Dame in 2018. Today, you can order Duke & Dame in restaurants and on cruise ships. It's on the shelves at Total Wine & More, ABC Fine Wine & Spirits, Walmart Liquors and now Publix, as of July 10. That same day, Oprah Winfrey featured the whisky on her O List, a roundup of products that have the media mogul's blessing.Dalia recently chatted with Amani and Chima. In this conversation, the guys share how they came up with the idea for Duke & Dame, their journey as Black entrepreneurs in the spirits industry and advice for what to do with the great idea you've been sitting on.

©吳炳偉牧師 #2668 每日一句話 「你們要小心，不可輕看這小子裏的一個；」﹝ ﹞ 約瑟遭陷害坐冤獄，他在獄中遇到酒政和膳長。有一晚兩人都做了夢，卻無法解釋，約瑟主動伸出援手替他們解夢。約瑟可以選擇憤世嫉俗的說：「別來煩我，我的問題已經夠多了。」但他了解每個人都是神所預備的，最後酒政獲釋出獄。兩年後法老做了一個夢，酒政就稟告法老，於是約瑟被帶出監牢，為法老王解夢，最後法老王派他治理埃及全地。 倘若約瑟當時不願幫助酒政，恐怕約瑟一生都得在牢裡度過。你的選召並非只是，你與神之間的事，還牽涉到神安排與你相會的人。當你知道，人人都是神所安排的連結，你就會願意付出時間，尊重並重視每一個人。你若對人好，就是在撒種，你若讓人感覺被愛，受歡迎，被欣賞，你就會遇到關鍵人物。你善待的那個人，可能會幫你打開那機會之門。 你永遠不曉得誰會因你撒下的種子而受惠，當你願意投入時間幫助別人，其實就是在幫助自己。因為你種的是什麼，收的就是什麼，你每次刻意讓人感到被重視，神都看見了。當你在小事上忠心，神就會派你管理更多的事，將來必有人出現在「神為你安排」的道路上。他們能幫助你完成選召，他們手上握著，高升與倍增的鑰匙。 親愛的，別輕看不重要的人！ 書籍購買「聖卷在握、勝券在握」 --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/andy84476/support

Public art and cake - what could be better?!? We're back for another great show, Indianapolis, and we're glad you're along for the ride. On today's show, we'll be joined to talk art with the Arts Council of Indianapolis and perhaps an unexpected partner - that's Jiffy Lube of Indiana. Then, we're talking with the owner of The Cake Bake Shop, an Indianapolis staple. All that and more, this week on the EDGE!   After opening several Jiffy Lubes across the city of Indianapolis, Steve Sanner, the owner of Jiffy Lube of Indiana, thought the sides of his buildings looked a little boring. So rather than keep that way, he decided to reach out to Julia Muney Moore, the Director of Public Art at the Arts Council of Indianapolis, and together they transformed those boring buildings into pieces of art. Both Steve and Julia are on the show this week to talk about where the idea came from and what some of their favorite pieces of art are on the Jiffy Lube buildings. So the next time you drive by a Jiffy Lube, look at the beautiful art on the side of their buildings!

  Sarah Shaw is a normal woman — Colorado single mom of two — who has spent her career dressing, collaborating and selling fabulous handbags to the most famous people in the world. Her secret? "I never take no for an answer."  Career highlights, that you'll hear about in this Like a Mother episode: Worked in the film biz after college for 11 years as a costume supervisor. Started two costume companies, that did huge manufacturing jobs for the movies like "Wind Talkers," "Matrix 2&3," "Out of Sight," "The Postman."  In 1997 started handbag company Sarah Shaw Handbags, available in Nordstrom, Sak’s 5th Ave, Barney’s NY, Bergdorf Goodman, Anthropologie, Fred Segal and 1200 other boutiques across the United States, that grew to a multiple 8 figure business thanks to press in magazines like ELLE, INStyle, “O” List, Marie Claire, and being on Access Hollywood, and getting products to celebs like Jennifer Aniston, Oprah, Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts, Sarah Jessica Parker, Hallee Berry and 70 others, and getting her bags in the movies Oceans' 11, Legally Blonde, & America’s Sweethearts, and on TV shows Friends & Will and Grace.  2003 I patented a closet organizer for handbags. Had an online company selling it and other brands that didn't have online stores. Got into People magazine 2 years in a row by getting products to Jennifer Aniston and sold 2000 units each time. Made lots of money.  2006 I launched my own company "Simply Sarah" (alone at last) and in 2 years did $500K from my garage with my one patented product in 12 colors. I finally had it down! Today, with Sarah Shaw Consulting, she teaches women how to grow brands quickly and make millions.

Noha Waibsnaider is a leading food entrepreneur and change maker in the healthy, real food movement. After graduating from Columbia Business School, she worked at Unilever and learned about the preservatives, chemicals, and processing that fills most of our foods. Originally from Israel, Noha grew up on a diet of mostly unprocessed foods and snacking on dried fruit. She realized there was a big gap in the marketplace and an opportunity to create snacks that make people feel good about snacking, with food that tastes great and is naturally nutritious. In 2005, she launched Peeled Snacks: organic fruit snacks with no added sugar or preservatives. In the last year, the brand has quickly evolved to a larger healthy snack platform, with the launch of Peas Please, savory veggie snacks. With her vision of providing tasty and nourishing snacks everywhere you need a snack, Peeled Snacks are sold in Starbucks, Target, Whole Foods, Wegmans, Giant, Hudson News, Amazon, and many other retailers. The company has ranked on the Inc. 5000 List of America’s Fastest Growing Companies for four years, has been featured in Oprah’s O List, and received Healthy Snack awards from Health Magazine and Fitness Magazine.    [02:25] - When did you start your own business and what was your background?   [02:40] - I learned about the food industry and supply chain.  Realized that the products were loaded with sugar and chemical.  I will talk to the scientists and they are not willing to eat it! [03:10] - There’s an opportunity to make real food that’s not highly processed and make it accessible to people. [03:30] - People have been eating dry food for a number of years.       [05:28] - Product-based businesses have so much to consider upfront.  In terms of operations, what did you start with?   [06:12] - There’s a very large based eco-system for food-based products now.   [07:40] - We started small.  The early challenges, limitations and constraints are what helped you define the concept. [06:26] - It’s an evolution and part of the creative process.   [09:00] - How much money did you invest upfront?   [10:00] - I sent in a two-page application for funding but was not successful.   [11:03] - Initially, I thought it’s a small business and it can be self-funded.  I was using credit card and doing balance transfer.  Started borrowing money from family - started fund-raising with friends and family.   [13:09] - Since then we continued to raise money from Angels and crowd-funding. [16:08] - What is your pricing strategy? It’s important to get pricing structure right early on.  We have premium products and we increased the price gradually and people were still willing to pay for.  At least 50% margin.   [19:55] - How does the Strategic Advisory Board work?   [20:14] - Network is “give and take”.  At one point we gave stock options to people. [21:43] - My first strategic advisory board guru was a business school professor.  His biggest piece of advice was – “you’re going to need an advisory board and I volunteer to be the first member on it”.  That was very helpful. [24:07] - Those on our board have very diverse business backgrounds. [26:10] - How do you get access to influential people like Stacy Madison? [27:06] - Building relationship, meeting people, networking, going to industry events, asking what you need and being clear of what you need.   [27:47] - If you could go back, what are the 3 things that you would have invested in most?   Golf lessons! – so much of networking happens on the golf-course. Marketing Gone into it with a long-term view and not so overwhelmed by all the ups and downs.   [31:27] - What motivates you to keep you going?   There’s always a light at the end of the tunnel. Passionate about what I do, i.e. healthy food, food that energizes and what our brand stands for. Consumer’s feedback. There’s no tracking back, we have to give returns back to our investors.   [33:54] - What are things to learn, unlearn and relearn from your corporate background to your own business?   When I was at a large company, I had access to so much data.  At Peeled Snacks we did not have any. Being responsible for your own space and schedule. It’s a totally different level of stress – managing emotions.   3 KEY POINTS   The more the business grows, the more money is needed. Network is “give & take”. Be passionate about what you do.     Website: peeledsnacks.com Get a 10% discount code for these amazing products   Social Media:  Facebook: Peeled Snacks (https://www.facebook.com/Peeled/) Twitter: @PeeledSnacks Instagram: @peeledsnacks (https://www.instagram.com/peeledsnacks/)
