Guests: Sutton C. McCraney, MA, MBA, Founder, The Flavor Room™️ & USAF Veteran Lace Flowers Co-Founder, The Flavor Room™️ The Flavor Room was founded by Sutton C. McCraney and Lace Flowers as an invite-only, curated leadership ecosystem for founders and CEOs of color operating at a higher standard. Drawing on Sutton's decade of military leadership and systems expertise and Lace's 18 years at the intersection of food, mental health and human performance, they built a space that redefines access, authority, and long-term influence in business. The Flavor Room centers leadership density, structural integrity, and institutional credibility - prioritizing standards over optics and sustainable power over performative success. Their work focuses on building lasting infrastructure that expands access and ensures it endures. Charity: This episode is in aid of the MATW'S Palestinian Fund as a thank you to Lace and Sutton for joining me. Find out more how this organisation is helping with the Gaza crisis here:
