The Coffee Shop LIVE! A live, moderated conversation

As we close Black History Month, we’re shifting from celebration to conversation.

This edition of The Coffee Shop Live is titled:

Minding My Black Owned Business.

Join us for a live, moderated conversation featuring entrepreneur Monte Burrow, founder of Blackleaf Organic Vodka, as he shares the real story behind building a nationally recognized brand.

This isn’t a highlight reel.

It’s an honest conversation about:

• Starting with vision
• Navigating rejection and resistance
• Building credibility in competitive spaces
• Protecting identity while scaling
• The unseen discipline behind visible success
• The cost of ownership — and the reward

Hosted by Jeremy Hudson and Shundrika of Canvas Firm, this conversation will explore what it truly means to build something of substance — and sustain it.

✔ A live, podcast-style moderated conversation
✔ Authentic storytelling — not surface-level soundbites
✔ Audience Q&A
✔ DJ-curated atmosphere
✔ Meaningful connection with leaders, entrepreneurs, and community builders
✔ Professional content capture

This is where leadership meets lived experience.
