NEW EPISODE ALERT!!
As the CEO of Pizza Hut (Chief Equity Officer- don't get him in trouble), stands as the founding leader in this position, responsible for navigating how Pizza Hut will successfully engage in the business and practice of equity so that its customers, its franchisees, and its staff are all able to benefit from a world where equity stands at the forefront of all things- including commerce.
A proud graduate of Howard University (where he also VERY proudly pledged Alpha Phi Alpha), Chequan was impacted by the professors who held him accountable to how much he truly didn't know about American History. As he began to see through the lens of some of the civil rights luminaries he had never heard of, Chequan began to "see things more clearly" and dedicated himself to pursuing equitable intention in every position he held. Continuing on to Harvard Law, Chequan spent time as an Associate Counsel in multiple major law firms before discovering that his passion lay in...pizza. Well, more specifically his passion lay in providing pathways and opportunities for equitable thinking to be integrated into all aspects of a company's corporate structure and culture. Over a strong career at Pizza Hut, Chequan has led a variety of teams, including being responsible for all Pizza Hut Express stores (you know, the ones inside ALL the Targets) in the company's portfolio. Now, as the company's Chief Equity Officer, he is able to take his experience from his earliest days in Haltom City through his varied experiences in the worlds in which he's lived, to work within one of America's largest brands to create and foster opportunities for the people he serves.
This is one where you want to sit down with your quill and parchment (Byron says it's nicer than pen and paper), a warm beverage, and really learn from someone who thinks regularly about how to make the world a place we can all be our authentic selves in.

NEW EPISODE ALERT: Google "Sasha Souza" and prepare to head down a rabbit hole of some of the nation's most beautiful weddings and events. stands at the top of her craft and has built a several decades career out of her signature style, impeccable design taste, and attention to extreme detail (ask her about "Sasha Souza Straight" some time). Sasha's story is anything but a straight line, however. Conceived on the corner of Haight & Masonic in San Francisco (no, seriously), and raised in the clubhouses of the Hell's Angels (no, seriously...again), Sasha got into the wedding industry because of an ad in a paper and it set her off on a career that has included three books, countless speaking engagements and media appearances, and being considered one of the premier luxury planners in the world.

Sasha's focus on creating exceptional experiences led to a desire to continue to grow her industry and the people that make it up and to the creation of The Consultancy for Creatives, a group and personal coaching and mentoring program. By working alongside entrepreneurs and business owners at varying stages of their journey, she is able to reveal some of the "it" that she and her team have become so famous for over the years to work to develop a generation of event professionals who are both excellent at their craft and also excel at their ability to successfully run a business.

Quick note- if you're a parent you might not want to listen to this episode around your kids because we talk about Santa and we don't want you messaging us angry about something...you know what we mean.
