I first met Charlynda just after the shutdown began. She had a newborn, her new business Mutt’s Sauce had just tanked because of a distribution snafu, and she was newly divorced.
She was at rock bottom but determined not to stay there. She told me at the time, “My rock bottom has a trampoline.”
Fast forward and Charlynda is flying sky high with her new book, Rock Bottom Has a Trampoline, launching later this month.
She and Mutt’s Sauce have been featured in Yahoo! Finance, NPR, Forbes.com, QVC, Men’s Journal, CBS News, NBCUniversal, Black Enterprise Magazine, and Military.com, among others.
Charlynda was also featured in FUBU Founder and Shark Tank investor Daymond John’s bestselling book, POWERSHIFT.
She’s founder and CEO of Mutt’s Sauce LLC and OH Taste LLC; Director of the OH Taste Foundation (501c3), and creator of The Empower Collection.
A TEDx speaker, she currently sits on the board of Bunker Labs, Arnold Air Society and Silver Wings, and Dayton Convention and Visitors Bureau. Charlynda is a Gold Award Winner and has a Lifetime Membership to Girl Scouts of the USA.
Her talent is cultivating influential people by meeting them where they are in life and business. Her military career spans over 15 years; she’s currently an Air Force Reservist stationed at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.
All of this and her son David is, in her opinion, her finest achievement.
This is a don’t miss episode for anyone who needs encouragement and a reminder that they’re not alone. And that’s everyone!
