We kick off Season 11 by naming the changes we’re making across our agency and our show, and why pivoting can be a sign of strength. We unpack what sustainable growth really looks like for Black founders, from systems and tools to community support and long-term legacy.
• Season reset and why pivoting yields profit
• L3 Agency evolution, BBM Mag expansion, and advertising opportunities
• Sustainability over scalability, founder control, and operational systems
• Grief, leadership and how community keeps us moving
• New CRM workflow, efficiency plus effectiveness, learning new tech
• Practical AI use with Gemini and a clearer tech stack
• Social media strategy, converting followers, auditing platforms, avoiding trend chasing
• Energy efficiency and sustainability work as part of our next chapter
• Why Black businesses matter, mentorship, jobs, and broader economic impact
• Social capital, patience and building relationships over time
• community feedback, better hours for brick-and-mortar, and celebrating the positive
