We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Jahmir Ennett-reel a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Jahmir, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today We’d love to have you retell us the story behind how you came up with the idea for your business, I think our audience would really enjoy hearing the backstory.

So I went to Lincoln university and I got my degree in mass communication and for me my dream job was a sport commentator. But I always wanted to do something in front of the camera. And now days instead of working for a company like iheart people are starting their own company with creating podcast. So I had the idea of starting my podcast but didn’t really know what to talk about. So as a start I would go live on instagram at night time and I have a big following on instagram so I would get a lot of people on my live and we would talk about our relationship problems and our views points from a man and women perspective. So while doing this I came up with the name Toxic Thoughts for my podcast and started buying my equipment and once I had everything to record I just record my first episode and put it out there and I got great feedback from everyone and just continue to do it. And now coming up on two years of my podcast we are currently at 425 subscribers on YouTube and we are almost there to be monetize. We already had our first live show and we sold out and had a great turn out. And I’m just dreaming big with my podcast

Jahmir, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

So my podcast is name Toxic Thoughts so the name is self explanatory. We discuss relationships, stories, and real-life scenarios! between men and women as in double standards. I’m most proud of being able to bring men and women together and we can get understanding of one another feel about certain topics and situations, because men and women think differently but we want people to understand where both sides is coming from by from

How’d you meet your business partner?

Me and my co host are childhood friends we knew each other for over 20 years and he is more so the calm one and I’m more of the outgoing but I feel that balance the podcast out because we will be basis if we both agree with each other everytime

Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?

You have to keep giving your social media content all the time. Never take a day off. So with my podcast I edit it to small clips basically a mini preview for our social media followers to see and that would make them want to watch the full episode.
