Episode Summary:

In this season finale of The Jeremy Haselwood Show, Jeremy reconnects with a silent, but powerful force in the entertainment industry, the multi-talented Nia Hill. From her early days in Oklahoma as the child of two musicians, to becoming a Grammy and NAACP Image Award-winning creative professional, Nia's journey is one of soul, vision, and resilience.

Nia reflects on how being raised in a predominantly white neighborhood shaped her perspective, how music and poetry became her early outlets, and how she navigated a non-traditional path into the entertainment business. She and Jeremy also share personal stories about their Oklahoma roots, Atlanta hustle, and what it really takes to build something meaningful in the industry without losing yourself in the process.

In this deeply vulnerable conversation, Nia also opens up about being on the autism spectrum, how that has influenced her worldview, and why neurodivergence has been both a challenge and a gift in her creative process. She talks candidly about embracing her difference rather than masking it, and why more inclusive spaces in entertainment are still desperately needed.

This isn't just a conversation about accolades, it's a deep dive into identity, intention, legacy, and the unseen spiritual forces that guide purpose-driven creatives.

In This Episode, You'll Hear:

• How growing up in an isolated cultural environment informed Nia's artistic voice

• The generational influence of music in her family and how that sparked her creativity

• How discovering she was on the autism spectrum brought clarity to lifelong patterns

• The role of spirituality and divine timing in her creative breakthroughs

• Why Nia chose to create her own studio instead of chasing mainstream validation

• Her thoughts on legacy, storytelling, and the need for Black women to take up space with intention

Memorable Quotes:

"I come from a long line of musicians, it's in my blood. But I didn't always have the language to call myself an artist."

"There came a point where I stopped waiting for permission. I had to create a space that honored the stories I wanted to tell. That's how ODX was born."

"My gut has never lied to me. Every time I ignored it, I paid for it."

"I tell stories for the people who don't always see themselves on screen...people like me."

In this inspiring episode of The Jeremy Haselwood Show, we sit down with Chelsea Fishman, the trailblazing entrepreneur behind Jolene Jolene, Atlanta's first-ever sports bar focused exclusively on women's sports.

Chelsea's path wasn't linear. From growing up in multiple states to building a career in marketing for a women's athletic apparel brand, she always had a deep love for soccer, and a passion for creating meaningful spaces. But it was a life-changing summit at the 2023 Women's World Cup in Australia, surrounded by legends like Billie Jean King and Brandi Chastain, that sparked the idea: What if there was a bar that recreated this feeling of inspiration, community, and equity…every day?

When her job unexpectedly ended, she didn't retreat. She built Jolene Jolene.

This episode is a powerful reminder of what happens when you lose a job, but find your purpose.

• How a career in sports marketing set the stage for launching a business rooted in equity and inspiration
• Why Chelsea believes Jolene is more than a bar, it's a movement
• The story behind attending a global summit that redefined her purpose
• Lessons on trusting your gut, staying creative, and building something Atlanta didn't yet have

"Jolene is the physical manifestation of a feeling I didn't want to let go."
"I always had ideas, but I didn't know I was entrepreneurial until I gave myself the chance."
"It's not just about showing sports, it's about showing up for women."
"This isn't just a bar. It's a safe space, a community, and a celebration of what's possible."

Chelsea's story is proof that your next chapter might be born from a plot twist. It's not about having it all figured out, it's about following what feels aligned.

Let this episode challenge you to look at what you're building, what you're ignoring, and what you're waiting on.

Angela's journey is one of resilience, redirection, and realignment. What started as a secure career in IT eventually felt misaligned with her vibrant, people-driven personality.

• How fashion became her vehicle to empower, elevate, and connect others

Notable Quotes:

"Tech gave me skills. Fashion gave me purpose."

"You can chase the money, but if it doesn't light you up, it's just a paycheck."

Episode Summary:
In this episode of The Jeremy Haselwood Show, we shine a light on a woman who's rewriting the rules of the restaurant industry, Lauren Fernandez. As CEO and founder of Full Course, Lauren brings a unique blend of legal savvy, franchise experience, and heart-centered leadership to a space that traditionally overlooks early-stage, underrepresented restaurant founders.

Lauren opens up about how her upbringing as the eldest of four shaped her into a natural leader and peacekeeper. From there, she walks us through her journey out of corporate America into entrepreneurship, where she now leads with empathy, strategy, and a bold vision for inclusive growth. Whether you're an entrepreneur, investor, or someone trying to build with purpose, this episode is rich with wisdom and insight.

What You'll Learn:

• The origin story behind Full Course and why she created it to address systemic gaps

• Why the restaurant industry is often overlooked by traditional investors

• The invisible barriers facing women and minority founders and how Lauren is removing them

• The role of emotional intelligence and intuition in building brands with soul

• Why Lauren believes the future of food is diverse, culture-forward, and founder-led

Quotable Moments from Lauren Fernandez:

"I realized that the absence of early-stage capital wasn't just a market failure, it was a barrier that kept too many brilliant founders on the sidelines."

"You can have the best food in the world, but if you don't have a growth strategy or support system, your brand will hit a wall by unit three."

"Restaurants contribute a trillion dollars to the U.S. GDP every year. Yet there's almost no venture capital that works for early-stage restaurant brands. That's a broken system."

"We're here to level the playing field, especially for underrepresented founders. Not just because it's the right thing to do, but because it's a massive business opportunity."

Episode Summary
In this lively and insightful episode, Jeremy sits down with Kara Donahue, founder of In The Loop and author of The Golden Goose: The Ultimate Guide to Dating in Your Lane. Kara shares how she created a space for singles to connect offline through curated events and travel, not another dating app, but a community built on shared experiences.

From her early days as a singing waitress and a Fruit of the Loom apple to scaling a multi-city event business, Kara's story is a testament to creativity, resilience, and the power of showing up.

Kara opens up about:

• The quirky early jobs that shaped her entrepreneurial mindset

• Launching In The Loop and building a community-focused alternative to dating apps

• Hosting 25–30 events per month in multiple cities

• Creating inclusive, fun experiences like Adult Summer Camp for singles

• Why connection, not romance, is the real value behind her work

• Writing The Golden Goose to help people date more intentionally

• How she balances purpose, personality, and logistics while leading her team

Whether you're a creative entrepreneur, community builder, or someone tired of the online dating scene, Kara's story offers a refreshing reminder that it's possible to lead with intention and build something deeply meaningful without swiping.

Memorable Quotes
"We're not helping people swipe. We're helping them show up."
"You don't have to be looking for love to enjoy our events. You just need to be open to meeting people."
"I didn't want to build a dating app. I wanted to build a space for singles to live."

Call to Action
If you're feeling disconnected, stuck on apps, or waiting for something to change, take Kara's advice and show up. Real community starts offline, and your next meaningful connection might be one RSVP away.

In this inspiring episode, Jeremy sits down with Kashi Sehgal, a multi-time founder, social entrepreneur, and CEO of Retazza, a food tech company combating food waste and food insecurity. Kashi shares her journey from launching a nonprofit in response to Hurricane Katrina to building tech-forward businesses with purpose and how she's rewriting what entrepreneurship looks like in Georgia and beyond.

This episode is a masterclass in grit, creativity, and impact—perfect for anyone seeking to build with purpose.

A Vision Born Early:
Even as a teen, Kashi knew she wanted to run businesses but didn't yet have the language for it. That early clarity became a lifelong thread.

Starting Small, Dreaming Big:
Kashi's first business was a nonprofit helping musicians affected by Katrina. She shares how mission-led work paved the way for future ventures.

Bootstrapping Over Venture Capital:
Instead of chasing VC dollars, Kashi often bootstrapped—keeping ownership, flexibility, and values intact. She offers powerful insight into smart funding decisions.

The Power of "Harmony" Instead of "Balance":
Rejecting the elusive pursuit of "balance," Kashi reframes her life and work around harmony—where different areas of life can be in rhythm, even if not equal.

Retazza: Food Justice at Scale:
Kashi's current venture tackles food waste by connecting Georgia farmers to communities in need—showcasing how business can be a tool for systemic change.

Failure as Foundation:
She candidly shares how her beloved Supernova South conference reached its natural end, and why recognizing when to move on is a strength—not a failure.

"Perfection impedes progress. Don't wait for your idea to be approved or perfected—just start."

"Entrepreneurship is about being curious. If you see a gap, maybe you're the one who's meant to fill it."

"Harmony is the new balance. Everything doesn't need to be equal—it just needs to work together."

Feeling stuck or waiting for the perfect time? Take Kashi's advice and start now. The path to purpose begins with one imperfect, inspired step.
