Episode 74 :: Popcorn and the Power of Letting Go with Chauniqua Major
A unique approach to business that is a breath of fresh air.(Video + closed caption available on YouTube)In this Building a Business on Your Own Terms episode, I am joined by Chauniqua Major, affectionately known as Major.
Major is a dynamic creative based in Orlando, Florida. Her unwavering commitment to doing good work powers her to achieve remarkable feats in her community. She is the founder of Whatever’s Good, a PR and marketing shop, and the Chief Snack Officer of Major's Project Pop, an award-winning popcorn company that ships nationwide.
This conversation covers everything from Major’s indirect path into the world of Food CPG to when she realized she would have to change her mindset around what success looks like.
Major and I discuss:
How Major’s personal food journey lead to the creation of Major’s Project Pop
The importance of being ready for an opportunity, and the value in saying “not now”
The conversations with her husband and her mentor that lead to her “divorcing” herself from her business
What the future holds for Major’s Project Pop, and the power of asking “what if?”
