'Friday's Flavor' with Jolene D
I started my first profitable business in Schenectady NY at the age of 11 years old. Since then I've seen many business successes, some failures, and lots of personal growth.
I'm now a mother of 3, telecommunications consultant, and follower of Christ. I am too awkward to make this a straight business channel, so expect to see a lot of goof and comedy in my content. According to my kids, I am a "hilarious nerd"- I won't deny it.
Every Friday a new interview with a unique business owner will air- you can look forward to hearing some of the latest in NY's local business news, the hottest business tips from the people who are actually making it happen, and the unique stories of the individuals who are rocking it here.
Midweek you can look forward to watching me being silly for Motivation Monday & Telecommunications Tuesday, where I explain some aspect of the tech behind communications in a funny and understandable way.
We're here to highlight local businesses, uplift our community, and remind everyone that NY will ALWAYS bounce back, thrive and set standards! The old saying stands true...If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere! God bless y'all!!!

If you've ever gone into business for yourself then you know how many facets there are to consider. There's compliance, marketing, operations, customer service, sales, and of course, finance, among other things, to consider. If you try to do it all alone, it can all fall apart rather quickly and unharmoniously fail. Some great advice from Sabrina Houser, of Capital CFO, is a good starting point to understand how to get it all done. Well done!

This week I had the honor of interviewing Jean-Remy Monnay of The Black Theatre Troupe of Upstate NY. He started his journey in acting in his home country of Haiti. When he came to NY in the early 80's he could barely speak English and couldn't find roles for black actors in community theater. Despite the odds, he learned the language, made the right connections, and began to promote his own group of talent filled with people of many ethnic origins and backgrounds. It started small but has grown into a wild success.
The Black Theatre Troupe of Upstate NY, led by Jean-Remy, creates pieces that inspire its community to expand its horizons. When there wasn't a place for his people to act in NY, he made a place. To learn more about them visit: https://blacktheatretroupeupstateny.org/
