#65 Rod's Gambit - Spring, Scala, TypeScript, and Chess with Rod Johnson

Rod Johson is Co-Founder of BLK &amp; Bold, the preeminent black-owned coffee company in America. Black &amp; Bold was founded with the desire to unite coffee and tea lovers worldwide through a common interest of investing in community.Rod grew up in the working-class city of Gary Indiana and eventually went on to Indiana University and a career in development and giving.

Along with lifelong friend Pernell, Rod set out to find their entrepreneurial calling, one that could match purpose with profit. And so BLK &amp; Bold was born in 2018. Since then, Rod and Pernell have grown BLK &amp; Bold into a national brand carried by the likes of Target and Whole Foods. They have a rare licensing deal with the NBA and have been celebrated by Dwanye Wade on the Ellen show. All this, completely bootstrapped from their headquarters in Des Moines Iowa.Rod has a great story.

They have made it through covid, introduced new products, expanded their work environment and employee base, all while making their 5 percent contribution to youth programming a consistent priority. As they move into their fifth year in the industry they look back in reflection with a smile on their face as they know that the road hasn’t been easy but has most definitely been worth it.   Rod Johnson and Pernell Ceszar are two first-generation college graduates that became young black entrepreneurs with a mission in mind—to impact their community. BLK &amp; Bold speaks to the products that they produce, coffee and tea, but it also speaks to them as individuals. They want to live, educate, support, and lead boldly. They wish to do so not only within their business and their community, but other communities that look like theirs and which they came from.

 Building a socially conscious brand with Rod Johnson of BLK & Bold Specialty Beverages

Rod Johnson came on the show and blessed us with some free game! Rod is an Undergrad at Sherman College of Chiropractic. He came on and talked about his time at the Citadel as a Student Athlete and how he was able to adapt to the culture and build solid relationships that he will cherish forever.  He also gave us the real spill on his philosophical way of being a Chiropractic Doctor vs some Chiropractors that don't practice to solve your pain but just want to temporarily manage it!  So much info for some young Chiropractors out there that want to get in the field.
