I’m bringing you another Powershift Your Week segment! This week, we’re learning together about:
- Successful crowdfunding campaigns
- Social media branding (and the biggest branding mistake business owners make)
- The recipe to success and
- Consistent messaging
I also had the immense pleasure of sitting down and chatting with the founders of veteran-owned business, Black 6 Coffee Trading Co. about how they’re using their company to make an impact.
This “Powershift Your Week” is presented by T-Mobile® for Business.
Did You Know: According to The Manifest, 74% of consumers follow brands on social media, and 96% of these consumers interact on social media with the brands they follow. Something that a lot of entrepreneurs get mixed up is that you are your brand - you can’t separate yourself from your business! Daymond John has always been a part of FUBU, and FUBU has always been a part of Daymond John. Make sure that your personal social media pages reflect your business, too.
Motivation Mix: Check out today’s song, Remember The Name by Fort Minor - “This is 10% luck, 20% skill, 15% concentrated power of will, 5% pleasure, 50% pain and 100% reason to remember the name” - People ask me all the time what the recipe to success is, and this is about as close as you can get to it!

T-Mobile For Business Fan Q&A: This week, I talked to Joseph Zoleta about his company, Black 6 Coffee Trading Co. Black 6 Coffee funds Black 6 Project, a medical and disaster relief program.
As veterans, Joseph and his team are driven to serve - Black 6 Project provides care for several communities, including Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria and Mindoro, Philippines. We talk about crowd-funding, shifting distribution throughout COVID, their plans to create a mobile coffee van that doubles as a disaster relief van, and what it was like for Joseph and I to grow up in Hollis, Queens!
