    Jul 7 2025

    Send us a text

    In this episode of Both Sides of the Check, we step into a conversation most people tiptoe around: Should religion have a seat at the business table?

    We’re talking real-life experiences, personal convictions, and the fine line between authenticity and appropriateness in entrepreneurship. Can you be fully you without making things awkward? Is it safer to separate faith from business — or does silence mean compromise?

    ✨ Topics We Dive Into:

    • Respecting belief systems in professional spaces
    • Why some convos feel like politics at the table
    • When letting your faith show up through you is more powerful than words
    • Navigating awkward business dynamics with grace

    This one’s raw, reflective, and all the way real.

  • Mentorship: Game-Changer or Money Grab?
    Jun 30 2025

    Send us a text

    Let’s call it out. Mentorship is everywhere—DMs, masterminds, and $5K “opportunities” from someone who just learned what an LLC is last Tuesday.

    So the question is: Is mentorship still the move… or is it just the new hustle?

    In this episode, we’re getting into the real difference between a mentor who helps you shift your mindset and scale your business—and someone selling vibes with no verified results. Because mentorship can change your life, but only if it’s the right voice, with the right experience, at the right time.

    We’re breaking down:

    How to spot mentorship that’s truly transformational

    The red flags that scream “money grab”

    And how to position yourself so you’re not just a mentee forever—but a leader in your own lane

    If you’ve ever felt burnt, skeptical, or just plain overwhelmed in the mentorship maze, this one’s for you.

    It’s time to invest in guidance—not gimmicks. Let’s talk about it.

  • Dress How You Want to Be Addressed
    Jun 23 2025

    Send us a text

    Let’s get real: At what point in business does it stop being about the clothes… and start being about the confidence behind them?

    We’re talking about the myth that success has a dress code. Because some of the wealthiest people in the game? No logos, no loud outfits—just quiet power. Meanwhile, some folks are suited up, but still struggling to close a $1K deal.

    This episode dives into the mindset behind the material. Is it really about the fit—or are you still dressing for approval instead of impact?

    Because listen… You can wear designer head to toe and still be taken lightly if your energy doesn’t match your ambition. 🧠💼

    Let’s talk about showing up, standing out, and owning your presence—labels or not.

    🎧 Tune in now. This one’s for the ones who lead with substance, not just style.

  • They Want Your Value, But Not Your Price.
    Jun 16 2025

    Send us a text

    Let’s talk about it. You show up with excellence. You bring the skills, the results, the receipts. But the moment you drop your price, here come the negotiations. Suddenly, everybody’s on a budget. Everybody’s got a cousin who “can do it cheaper.” But guess what? Cheaper doesn’t come with your mind. Your experience. Your value.

    In this episode, we’re breaking down the hard truth: people will applaud your greatness until it’s time to compensate it. We’re talking about the disrespect that shows up in discounts, and how to hold the line on your worth—especially in an economy that’s out here testing everybody’s confidence.

    This one’s for the entrepreneur who’s tired of the back-and-forth. For the consultant who's been told, “You’re exactly what we need… but can you do it for half?” Nah. We’re not shrinking to make other people comfortable. Not this season.

    Press play and get reminded why your price is your price—for a reason.

  • Friends, Family, and the Fine Print of Support
    Jun 9 2025

    You started the business. You’re grinding. You’ve got the vision, the hustle, the late nights, the receipts. But now you’re wondering… why ain’t my friends reposting? Why hasn’t my cousin bought a t-shirt?

    In this episode of Both Sides of the Check, we dive deep into the messy, honest, and eye-opening conversation about friends, family, and that unspoken expectation of support when you launch your dream.

    Do they owe it to you? Should you have to ask? And what if their silence is louder than any “congrats” could ever be?

    This ain’t just a talk — it’s a wake-up call. We’re pulling back the curtain on entitlement, accountability, and what real support actually looks like.

    Because love is one thing. Business is another. And if you’re not ready to hear both sides, you’re not ready to grow.

  • For the Culture or For the Coin? Let’s Talk 'Black-Owned' Business.
    Jun 2 2025

    Send us a text

    Let’s go there.

    In this episode, Ms Cat & LiShon unpack the weight, the pride, and the pressure behind the label “Black-owned.” What started as a badge of honor—something to uplift and represent—can sometimes feel like a box that limits how far we’re “allowed” to grow.

    Are we building for culture, for currency, or both?
    And does that label help us… or hold us back?

    This is a real, layered convo about identity, ownership, audience, and impact. At the end of the day, the business is Black-owned—but is that the only story we get to tell?

    👊 Tap in and bring your whole mind to this one. It’s not just a podcast—it’s a mirror.

  • You Want a Boss… Until You Date One!
    May 26 2025

    Send us a text

    Let’s talk about it. Everybody says they want a boss… until they realize what that really means.

    In this episode, Ms Cat & LiShon peel back the curtain on what it’s like dating as full-time entrepreneurs. The long hours. The missed calls. The vision that don’t clock out. They’re asking the real question: can someone who’s used to getting paid on Fridays handle someone who’s building a legacy 24/7?

    Because let’s be clear—they're not giving up the grind for love.
    If love can’t keep up with the mission, it’s just a distraction.

    This one’s for the hustlers, the builders, and the partners who think they’re ready for that kind of love. 🔥

  • Risk Vs. Peace - How Much Risk is TOO Much?
    May 19 2025

    Send us a text

    Let’s be real—entrepreneurship will test you. In this episode, Ms Cat & LiShon dive into the raw truth about risk—when to take it, when to fall back, and how to decide what’s really worth it. They open up about their journey of stepping into brick-and-mortar spaces, what they gained, what it cost, and what they learned the hard way.

    We’re not here to glamorize struggle. We’re here to remind you: there is no success without sacrifice, but there's no reward worth your peace.

    So the question is—how much are YOU willing to risk for the life you say you want?
    And more importantly… is it aligned with your values or just hype?

    👊 Tune in, take notes, and most importantly—check both sides before you sign anything.
