Welcome to this week's episode.

Hey guys, welcome back to the podcast this week.

I love when we get to have our own team on the podcast because, I mean, I have to brag. I think we have the best team in the industry, Dylan, do you agree? Oh, 100%. No, the team here is built different, I like to say. I look at like you guys and all the boutique of black coaches. And this is like a team of ninjas. Like, you guys are special ops in what you do. You all have just a unique perspective and a gift that you bring to that team. And so I'm so pumped that you're here, Dylan, because you're the Shopify wizard. Everyone's like, hey, I need Dylan to look at my website. Let's figure it out. So we're going to bring some best practices today. Are you ready? Let's do it. All right. Well, let's take it back a minute. I think one of the coolest things about you specifically being on this team.

And I think

one of the coolest things about you specifically being on this team. And I know everyone who comes to the Boutiquea Black team has a unique story of how they found Boutique Hub black. But you and your family have been a part of the Boutique Hub for a long time. Do you want to talk about how this first got started and how you found the hub. Yeah, so I mean way before I ever, so I guess my parents,

they have a business. going to talk about how this first got started and how you found the hub yeah so i mean way before i

ever so i guess my parents they have a business uh it was open in like the i think in 1980

so it's been around for a long time yeah and i kind of grew up with it because i'm not i was born

way after that right um so i kind of grew up with it and it just kind of felt normal, but I kind of found my way in college to business school and it kind of just everything started to click with me. And after that, I mean, I kind of messed around with some other companies, but I found my way to helping them out and it really clicked for me. So the way I found the hub was my mom. You know, she was a part of it. She loved it. She was a part

of Boutiquea Black, I think one of the, not the very first ones, but she was from the first round, I think.

And she kind of grew that relationship with Jeff, got the questions that she needed answers with.

This is before I even worked for them, but I kind of found my way to helping out the store

a little bit more and then started helping off the group calls with Jeff. And then one day,

Jeff just kind of wanted to ask like, hey, do you want to, I mean, do you need more stuff to do?

I love that. Yeah. So your mom, Denise, actually, she was in our mastermind.
