What better way to have deep, meaningful conversation and exchange than over a cup of coffee? Our guest today has created the space for courageous conversations as well as for coffee. He has also created a space for underrepresented voices and unspoken dialogue to be heard.

Cheryl and Christy sit down with entrepreneur, husband, father and newly elected first ever African-American member of the Clayton School District Board of Education, Jason Wilson today on #ETHINKSTL

In this episode:

In an article it noted that when people found out that Jason was an African-American man, business began to decline. He said “that doesn’t stop me from wanting to be in the game”.

- What the real “game” is that folks don’t want to talk about.

- How Jason is changing the way the game is played.

- Why coffee? How Jason emerged into entrepreneurship.

- The little whispers and conversations that were taking place were fuel for Jason. What was his response.

- The challenges and obstacles he's encountered as a business owner.

- How Jason approached those challenges to overcome them.

- How he stepped out of his comfort zone through previous ventures until today.

- Jason's greatest discoveries in life, politics and business.

- Opportunities and advice for other business owners.
