Summary

This week I invited back Khadijah “Kay” Polly, who I first spoke to in 2019. Khadijah is the owner of Kay’s Kettle Corn, a gourmet popcorn company in Houston. In addition to her popcorn company, Khadijah is the founder of Ankara Beauty, a social enterprise that sources fair trade all natural ingredients for beauty products from women owned cooperatives and solo entrepreneurs in African countries.

In this episode she shares:

How she scaled her popcorn side hustle large enough to fund other ventures
Why she prioritizes living a life of ease and how she does it while running multiple enterprises
How supporting women entrepreneurs in African countries has wildly grown her business
