S6E07 | Ed Forchion - "Weed" Legal 4/20 Consumption
Edward Forchion (born Robert Edward Forchion, Jr July 23, 1964), also known as NJWeedman, is an American Rastafari cannabis rights and free speech activist, perennial candidate, actor, writer, and restaurateur.[1] He is the founder of the Legalize Marijuana Party. A resident of New Jersey and California, he is a registered medical cannabis user. He has been arrested and convicted for some of his activities and has mounted various legal defenses and challenges to laws regarding cannabis. Forchion uses the moniker NJWeedman.[1] He has attempted to have his name legally changed to NJWeedman.com (his domain name), but was denied, first by the courts in New Jersey in 2004 and in another case in California in 2011, which cited, among other things, comity with New Jersey's ruling.[19][20]On October 17 of 2022, a Mercer County, NJ judge approved his petition to change his name. NJWeedman.com expects his close friends and family will still call him "Ed," but he intends to otherwise make full use of his new name.[21] In September 2020, during one of his political campaigns for New Jersey public office and the legalization of marijuana on the ballot, Forchion started his potcast, Get On The Cannabus, on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube. The podcast interviews marijuana entrepreneurs and raffles off free cannabis products in what is known as the Reefer Raffle. When the podcast began, Forchion sold weed illegally on camera in protest of the unjust cannabis laws in New Jersey and America, in what he called "Selling Weed Like He's White." After multiple episodes, marijuana was legalized in New Jersey and NJ Weedman's Joint became the location of the first unofficial New Jersey Recreational Dispensary on January 1, 2021. Contact NJWeedman================Podcast - https://open.spotify.com/show/2Xzp4OFpNvByB74jyU0h2HBecome A Sponsor Today! ========================= If you are an entrepreneur who wants to establish yourself as a leader in the industry, then you’re in the right place!

Starting in 2009 he engineered and created the now wildly successful “Official Paradise Garage Reunion” that draws 2000 devotees every year to hear the 2 remaining residents of the fabled club. The challenge of never knowing what to expect from a crowd is what drives Kervyn Mark to consistently provide a solid groove and more importantly a spiritual musical experience. And the world is unanimous: Kervyn has been booked for high profile events presented by Body and Soul NY (5 times) Roots NYC, FUNKBOX NYC, 718 Sessions, PS 1, Festivus, Soul Summit @ Fort Greene, Sundae Sermon, and the list goes on. He has played at events attended and/or hosted by Madonna.

He has shared the deck with heavyweights and legends DJs Francois K, Danny Krivit, Osunlade, The Martinez Brothers, Louie Vega, Kenny Dope’ Gonzalez, Tony Humphries, Rich Medina, DJ Spinna and veritable who’s who. In May 2012 Kervyn started The Real Summer Music Series at the Coney Island Boardwalk; a FREE family friendly event series, bringing New York City's' increasingly diverse community together to celebrate it's rich historical legacy. Its purpose is to promote music,culture, art, and commerce. Here you find an eclectic range of musicians, DJ's, performance & visual artists, with Coney Island as its backdrop. The reason for Kervyn’s success is a simple ricochet effect: the love and support he receives keeps him going strong and his love of the music and the positive effect is has on all races and creeds keeps the vibe alive with determination, passion, and the upstanding mission to touch the heart of the ones who love music as much as he does!Become A Sponsor Today! ========================= If you are an entrepreneur who wants to establish yourself as a leader in the industry, then you’re in the right place!

S6E03 | Thommy Davis - Thommatized
Being an instrumental part of the dance music scene in Baltimore initially starting at record stores, Thommy has been involved in Baltimore’s various music genres that have kept Baltimoreans enthralled. Pioneering the way in Italian music wave with its early introduction and then being the first outside of Chicago to bring House into popularity gave Baltimore a music history that has founded many of the sounds being produced out of the city. In Music Liberated Record Store and then Metro Stereo Record Store, and then 12 Inch Dance Records (DC and Baltimore) he created the new salesman field of DJ salesman. Not only did he sell the music to the customers but skillfully demonstrated how and what was worthy of attention in skills and selection. This new category of salesman caught on and since then has yet to be redefined. Thommy was also one of the first to create and distribute his own dance record label (Thomix Records), opening the eyes of fellow Baltimoreans to the possibilities of independent promotion and distribution and inspiring other local producers. With his label he crossed the country and the world, licensing his productions in several countries around the world and giving Baltimore a reputation for dance music. His first label release, “Get the Hole” w/ DJ Spen & Beatmaster Mozes is still a classic and is still widely sought after although it was pressed from a cassette master! After the success of the first release he went on to do others and thus the Baltimorean independent label scene was born. While with the original production company, Thommy and the boys received several awards, gold records and even a Grammy nomination. Maintaining several major labels at once (WEA, CBS, and MCA) and multiple indie labels, the boys broke the mold for the DJ/Producer. Projects such as Ultra Nate’ and Crystal Waters have crossed the ocean and still to this day have progressed and shown the world that they are icons in her own right. As a DJ he has played at almost all the Baltimore clubs at one time or another. He’s known for his relentless energy and his passion for dance music and creativity. From legendary Baltimore/DC clubs such as Odells, Fantasy, Last Stop, Clubhouse, Underground, Paradox, and many too numerous to mention he is known for his energy and his skills to please the dancer. A dancer himself, he produces, remixes, writes and plays what he likes to hear and feel…dance music! Not just a DJ, not just a producer, not just a writer, Thommy consistently feeds the music scene with effervescence and passion. Many of his past works will make it hard to out do, but to know him is to know that you wouldn’t bet against it. The list of songs that he has either produced, written or inspired are endless and with Quantize Recordings is continually expanding the love of music. Along side his good friend and partner since the very beginning, DJ Spen and he have a mission in music, a bond in friendship and a shared spirituality that encompasses all that they do and love. Become A Sponsor Today! ========================= If you are an entrepreneur who wants to establish yourself as a leader in the industry, then you’re in the right place!

S5E28 | Terri Harper-Brown - The Honey Lady
My name is Terri Harper.  I am a proud Trenton native and graduate of Notre Dame High School.  I am a teacher, mother and a woman of faith. My business was born out of my need for great honey during the pandemic, but it quickly turned into something more. The farmer’s market that I would visit to buy my honey was closed.  So I found the bee farm and began to purchase the honey directly from the bee farm.  I said “if I’m in search of raw honey I’m sure other people are too”.  On my second trip to the farm, I bought $100.00 worth of honey to subsequently invest into my emerging business.   I came home and made a Facebook video describing my new business.  At the time I referred to it as “this new thing I’m doing”.  Within one day, I had so many friends willing to support my new venture.   By 2021, I had begun to become a brand and “Terri the Honey Lady” was born. I had gotten a logo design and labels with my name. At this point I said to myself “ this is something BIG”.   My customer base grew and people started to want to see more of my videos advertising my product.  I call this phase our “baby phase” where just like with your children you look back on photos with nostalgia.  I never considered myself an entrepreneur.  I had entertained the usual side businesses like Mary Kay representative and Scentsy; a candle melts company but nothing really stuck with me.  This was so different.  I wanted to learn more about honey and it’s benefits and I enjoyed it!  My beloved father was an entrepreneur. He had a well-known bar called “Charlie’s tavern” in Trenton.  When I was younger, people would stop us and greet him with such respect and love.  They had good times in his bar.   I inherited my entrepreneurial spirit from him and learned the power of relationships in business.    Contact Terri Harper-Brown ====================== Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/terri.harper.940/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/terri-harper-754289120/ Become A Sponsor Today! ====================== If you are an entrepreneur who wants to establish yourself as a leader in the industry, then you’re in the right place!  By sponsoring The Entrepreneurial Enclave, you’ll able to reach hundreds of listeners every month and attract the right people to your brand.

S5E27 | Trisha Williams - Overcoming By Writing
Author Trisha Williams is the CEO of IreeSky Fiction & Editing who specializes in editing raw manuscripts into works of art. She has edited over 175 self-published books for other authors. Trisha’s own fiction titles address avoiding common urban pitfalls, such as gang recruitment, drugs, self-esteem, runaways, peer rejection, promiscuity, bullying, leadership, stalking, and adultery. Other titles address subjects considered taboo, unique to urban life, such as generational curses, systemic racism, suicidal ideation, mental impediment, generational wealth lack, and apathy, such as Black men being taught to suppress emotion. Her stories are relatable and entertaining because she uses familiar Trenton landmarks in her stories. As impressive as the sheer quantity of her fiction is, her remarkable survival story is what compelled her to collaborate with DV survivors globally who anonymously contributed to her Hidden Treasures series. The proceeds of Hidden Treasures are donated to shelters to support resources, abuse prevention, and awareness. Trisha credits her ability to write imaginatively to observation growing up in the City of Trenton. Her established platform projects high ambition to bring inspirational positivity here at home. Since her titles are in demand, she consistently vends at upscale banquets and pop-up events. She offers basic English tutoring for adult literacy, is a playwright, and a Mercer County Notary Public. “My purpose is to make you look at your own life.” ~ Trisha Williams Contact Trisha Williams ====================== Website - https://ireesky.com/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/IreeSkyFiction/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/IreeSky_Fiction/ Become A Sponsor Today! ====================== If you are an entrepreneur who wants to establish yourself as a leader in the industry, then you’re in the right place!  By sponsoring The Entrepreneurial Enclave, you’ll able to reach hundreds of listeners every month and attract the right people to your brand.
