    So, so GOOD!
    I’m about to start a “sprint” as I reopen my vintage shop for the spring (I hibernate over the winter by only selling online) but I’m adding a new business idea in the space, a mini makerspace, for people to do DIY fashion projects because I teach fashion design full-time at a public high school. I’m excited to see if this takes off and this sprint concept helps a lot! Thanks!

    A Singular Voice
    I LOVE Morgan’s perspective and her experience provides a really great lens to look at challenges and opportunities in both personal and professional spaces. Engaging for any listener but especially a young black woman like myself. Just a note on the most recent AI episode though: in the beginning Morgan makes it a point to say that AI won’t come for your job (which I think is the default thing to say as an employer using these tolls) but then shares that not wanting to manage people was why she started pursuing AI more. Then she describes how AI is replacing copywriters and others. I’m not tech averse but I do think this is an example of the kind of thing that makes many workers worried, and neither the tech or entrepreneurship sectors is providing a good enough answer other than to ignore it and push folks to integrate the tech as quickly as possible. It’s similarly why we still have auto workers lobbying against absolutely necessary green initiatives. Anyway, didn’t detract from my personal enjoyment of the episode, but something to consider!

    Refreshing, Authentic, & Relatable
    I recently joined the ranks of Morgan’s followers, and honestly, I can’t believe I didn’t discover her sooner! It must have been a lucky twist from the algorithm, because her content popped up on my IG feed just when I needed it. What I love most about this podcast is how relatable, authentic, and vulnerable Morgan is. Those qualities are absolutely refreshing and make listening such a joy. She cuts through the fluff and filler that you find in so many other shows, delivering intentional, meaningful content that resonates deeply. There’s something genuinely endearing about her style that keeps me coming back for more. I know my review doesn’t capture her awesomeness fully, but trust me—if you’re not tuning in, you’re truly missing out! Morgan’s insights and experiences are a blessing, and I’m so grateful for the glimpse she shares of her world. While she may never fully grasp the profound impact she’s having on listeners like us, her dedication to spreading knowledge and elevating subject matter experts is changing lives all over the globe. Thank you, Morgan, for all that you do!

    Authentic Insights and Inspiring Connections!
    I’ve been following Morgan’s journey on social media, and it’s always fascinating to get a glimpse into how her mind works. I really appreciate her candidness and the insights she shares on this podcast. It’s also a bonus to be introduced to other incredible people who are excelling in their fields—people I might not have discovered otherwise. Highly recommend!
  • prettynikki
    Great topics. Excellent guests.
    I like to listen to podcast that offer information and new perspectives on life and business. This one fits the bill. The conversations are excellent and I enjoy the insights I get especially from the business and entrepreneurship episodes. Morgan is one of my “mentors in my head.” Take a listen. You’ll learn something new for sure.

    The Builder’s podcast!
    As a young Black female technologist and community leader, I’ve been learning so much from Morgan and this show. Each episode has something valuable to offer, but this one felt especially personal and timely. I'm currently in the early stages of planning a conference, and this episode felt like I was given her playbook—such a gift! Her transparency, generosity, and real-world strategies are inspiring. I’m genuinely grateful for the behind-the-scenes look into AfroTech’s growth, from strategy to execution. Morgan's ability to share her wins and lessons with such clarity made me feel both capable and excited about what's possible. I would recommend this podcast in a heartbeat, especially for anyone looking to build something impactful. Thank you, Morgan!

    Was not what I was expecting
    The only episode i listened was the one with Angela Rye. Enjoyed that episode and there were so many points put into one episode. Definitely made a donation to Kamala after that episode.

    Entrepreneurship, Relatability and Inspiring

  • fatimahck
    Quickly becoming my favorite podcast
    I love podcasts and listen to quite a few. But Morgan’s is becoming a top pick because of the relevant topics, her candid transparency, and applicable takeaways that I am implementing in my business and personal life.
  • Ms. Bozack
    Luuvie episode
    I appreciate the candid discussion on entrepreneurship, keeping your personal lives separate and not being labeled according to the preferred and prescribed titles for women, i.e the traction of business posts vs. marriage / kids posts.
  • Beneatha Younger
    So much free game from Morgan!
    This is such an informative, inspiring show from Morgan, one of my biggest inspirations. A must-listen for Black Millenial Entrepreneurs!
  • Mena Darre

  • Musingsofmec
    A gift: Empowering, relevant, and actionable.
    This podcast is powering me through graduate school. I’ve followed this podcast since seeing Morgan speak at an Ervin Scholars event. I remember thinking that hearing her speak and pour her expertise into an audience was a once in a lifetime thing, and now I get to hear her fresh takes and real advice every week. It’s a must listen for me as a Black woman with big plans for the future.
  • DJ Tricey Trice
    Great Resource for Entrepreneurs Scaling
    My wife sent me this Podcast as I’ve just started a membership community. I’m so glad that she did because I got so much value for Morgan and Robbie. I’ve followed both across platforms and look forward to staying in their ecosystem.

    1hr of greatness
    On this podcast, it’s great to learn about Morgan’s journey and everything that she has done not only as entrepreneur, but also as she is transparent about her wins and also the moments that she would do differently. It’s truly an amazing podcast that not only teaches you about business, but also the importance of continuing to grow personally as a business professional too - Adu

    Podcast Episode with Hala!!
    First time listener but will definitely be back! I host The Black Doctors Podcast and the episode on podcast marketing and promotion with Yapmedia CEO was just what the doctor ordered! Cannot wait to use all of the fantastic advice! Thanks so much for building this community @Morgan!
  • Nae2993
    Gem after gem!
    From the interviews to the solo episodes, Morgan is always dropping gems. As an entrepreneur myself, I really love that she keeps it real. She doesn’t just tell the glamorous side, but really talks about the behind-the-scenes of starting, running & growing a business. With every listen, I’m either feeling affirmed or feeling inspired. It’s just so good!
  • LushesMocha
    Morgan DeBaun inspires generations
    I’ve been a fan of Morgan and she’s been an inspiration to me for years. Listening to her and Tabitha Brown on the podcast was such a blessing. They covered all the topics I’ve struggled with especially suppressing my dreams to do what I’m “supposed” to do. This episode was a beautiful reminder to keep working towards my dreams little by little and now that I’ve left my 9-5 I will take full advantage of my freedom to build the life and career of my dreams. If you’re new to the podcast, go ahead and subscribe, start with the episode with Tab and stay to collect all the beautiful gems from Morgan and her guests. 🩷

  • Maaandimoney
    Perfect for ambitious young entrepreneurs
    Love Morgan’s honest and authenticity! It’s refreshing to hear how she’s been successful on her own terms and doesn’t need a Manhattan or LA zip code to be one of the most powerful CEOs in media. She deserves this platform and so much more!
  • toekneereallynose
    Thankful for you!
    I have been an entrepreneur since 15, over these last 18 years, I’ve listened to many business podcasts and experts, but they were always missing something. In the past few years, more Podcasters of color gained traction but their stories did not resonate. That changed when I found and binged your TikTok account and finally, I found my voice through yours. Id love to hear an episode about the future of Tik tok shop and the importance of businesses to get on this trend ❤️ @finefitfitness_
  • RStewart919
    Authentic, engaging and insightful storytelling
    This is my new favorite podcast, I’ve listened to almost every episode! Morgan’s ability to traverse topics, with a myriad of interesting guests infused with humor, actionable takeaways and key insights is why I love this podcast. She truly brings the best of her personality, authentic spirit, and BOSS approach to life to every thoughtful curated episode. But it’s also very REAL, and does not fee overly produced or contrived. A must listen for current or aspiring founders, business owners, community builders, or working moms like me!
  • kcwebgirl
    The ke ke for your real life journey
    I love a good ke-ke as much as the next woman but I appreciate this podcast because it brings the ke-ke and merges it with the changing realities of personal and professional advancement. I need the dose of culture with getting my ducks in a row.
  • The Strategy Specialist
    Thank You For The Transparency!
    Your wealth manager episode was 🔥🔥 Between the mindset shift (goodbye scarcity) to the BTS of a heavy balance sheet, liquidity, and income as a founder vs life after exit and monetizing your gifts during all stages as a safety net in more ways than one…. A humbling reminder of how we hold ourselves to high standards and maintain beliefs of our humble beginning …. even when the world thinks you’ve made it!!!!
  • Whit Wo0
    I am inspired
    The episode with Deepica made me feel so inspired! I have never had aspirations of being an entrepreneur but after listening to their journey and experiences being the boss has me thinking why not me? Yes to women supporting women and representing for the women of color bosses.
  • KISH_JW
    Time Well Spent
    There are so many Gems of value dropped for entrepreneurs, aspiring entrepreneurs and women in business that I can’t imagine DeBaun not having having a podcast! My thought each time has been, wow- such rich discussion with impactful action items for life. Just patiently waiting for a book of best selling goodness, because Ms DeBaun definitely has words the world needs to hear/read. Thanks M, for your genuineness and authenticity-can’t wait to meet you on a book tour or live taping one day! -kish_jw

  • ADD SuperJanay4Us
    Love the Show, but…
    I love the show. Morgan has the potential of being a top black female voice within podcasting. Please do a better job of introducing the guests and highlighting their credentials before diving into the conversation. I also really like the Q&A portion of the podcast, but the Q&A needs a better transition and quick intro(just her name) of the voice asking the questions.
