About this episode

In honor of Black History Month, Bea Dixon joins me to share her journey from working as a pharmacy technician and running a cleaning business to struggling with chronic Bacterial Vaginosis—an experience that ultimately led her to create The Honey Pot. She opens up about the pivotal moment when her grandmother came to her in a dream with a natural remedy, how she turned that dream into a thriving business, and the mindset that helped her build a $380 million company. We talk about the power of intuition, the importance of purpose-driven work, and what it really takes to create wealth. Bea’s story is one of resilience, faith, and hustle, and I can’t wait for you to hear it.
