Special Guests: Antwon Davis & Eldredge Washington, Founders, "Spendefy"
Karen Hunter:
"I love subscription-based businesses because they're community-building.
When you have a subscription, people come together."
"You are curating your own community."
Antwon Davis:
"When you go on the platform, consumers...we want you to tell us about the experience...
we want to elevate the awareness of businesses but hold them to a certain standard.
So that over time, we're no longer saying these same things about black businesses, that 'the quality isn't up to par, the customer service is poor',
but we need to set that standard and set that precedence."
Karen Hunter:
"And if you're a business, be open to the criticism."
"You have to be receptive when people give you feedback."
Eldredge Washington:
"The number one thing, give your feedback."
"Too many times, we have a bad experience and we leave...call the manager to the side,
if the owner is there, talk to the owner and let them grow from that."
