About this Episode

In the first ever SOS doubleheader, Jade Adams and Brandon Bruce darken the door of the shop (separately), to give the current state of their entrepreneurship journeys.

Brandon Bruce parlayed a law degree, a passion for disruption, and a penchant to serve - into the innovative tech product, Cirrus Insight. Now Brandon spends many of his days giving his time and resources to 501c3 non-profits and mentorship programs for Knoxville's youth.

Jade Adams took her niche passion for indoor house plants and quickly built a following that started to view her as an authority on indoor botanicals. The 100Knoxville initiative noticed Jade's growth opportunities and chose Oglewood Ave. as a member of their first cohort of Black-owned businesses to recieve mentorship and financial infusion.

Special thanks to SOS alum Chris McAdoo for the help with podcast intro.
